Logo from the Philatelic Expo RIO GRANDE 2015 (Argentina) with Les Eclaireurs lighthouse.  I talked about this expo in THIS POST (click).

 

Uruguay always inserts these logos in stamps issued near the date of the Philatelic Expositions.  For example, last year, also in an ítem that we saw here in this blog.

 

 

Do you remember this sheet with Isla de Lobos lighthouse?.   One of the stamps of this serie carries the logo from the Chilean Philatelic Society and the expo EXFIL 125.

Lighthouse: Cerro de Montevideo Fortress in coat of arms

Sorry, but after 2 weeks of search, this was the best image that I could find.  Below this words there is an image of how the coat of arms of Rampla Juniors looks.  When I can access to the stamp, I will update this post with better images.

This is the second stamp from  Uruguay this year related to Football Clubs and their centenaries.  Coincidence. This one, like the first ( Club Atletico Defensor ) have a lighthouse in his coat of arms.

Rampla Juniors is located in "Villa del Cerro", an urbanization surrounding the Cerro of Montevideo, and the distance between the football field and the lighthouse is about 1.5 / 2 kilometers.

Where is the lighthouse?:

In the background of the second stamp, we can see the iconic figure of the "Cerro de Montevideo" (Montevideo´s Hill). And at the top,  there is a lighthouse with the same name.

Where did I see it before?

-In 2002 this lighthouse had a special issue for the bicentenary of life.

 - And as I told before, this hill is an iconic figure in Uruguay, so it appear in numerous stamps. For example:



In the 1965 National Flag issue



Do you like golf? In this stamp from 1996 the Farola appear at the top.






Or in this serie from 2009, honoring to Charles Darwin. Look for it and you will find it.
