The Earthscapes stamp collection shows three categories of landscapes: natural, agricultural, and urban.

Glaciers and icebergs

Salt evaporation ponds

Here, water is being evaporated to leave behind salt.

Cranberry harvest

Log rafts on way to sawmill

The urban images cover a variety of scenes, including this railroad roundhouse.

Skyscraper apartments

City apartments rise in this image.

Highway interchange

Highways corkscrew around themselves, our world, in a new way.
