Vancouver 2010 ...

Date of Issue - 22 January 2010

Hi ! Here is a wonderful stamp on Vancouver 2010 issued by US Postal Service on 22 January 2010.The stamp features an illustration of a snowboarder. The stamp was issued on Jan. 22 to coincide with the XXI Olympic Winter Games, which will be held Feb. 12-28 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The illustrator of the stamp Steve McCracken captures the thrill of one Olympic sport by portraying an airborne snowboarder against the backdrop of a snow-capped mountain. Well this beautiful stamp reminds me of heavy snow of Chopal, Shimla where local children used to make their own skateboards with wooden piece and wheels to enjoy the thrill of snow on sloping roads.....That was really nice to see them.....This is all for today.....Till Next Post ....Have a Geat Time !
