The
Priority Mail Express stamp highlights the Sleeping Bear Dunes, which name is
from a Native American legend. Rising 450 feet above Lake Michigan, the dunes
are the highest perched dunes in the Great Lakes region and are protected
within Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The stamp art celebrates the
grandeur and serene natural beauty of the dunes and surrounding park. Dune
grasses mark the beach in the foreground, as gulls dive and soar in the breeze.
Art director Greg Breeding of Charlottesville, VA, designed the stamp with
original art by Dan Cosgrove of Chicago.
The
Priority Mail stamp features a colorful illustration of the Byodo-In Temple, a
popular tourist attraction in Hawaii. A smaller-scale concrete replica of a
wooden Buddhist temple in Japan, the Byodo-In Temple is located in a private
cemetery on the island of O’ahu. Built in 1968 to commemorate the centennial of
the first Japanese immigration to Hawaii, the temple is available for use for
ceremonies, services, and events such as classes and concerts. Greg Breeding
also designed this stamp with original art by Dan Cosgrove.
