I've never posted a shot of stamps before - in fact I'm not sure I've ever taken a photo of stamps before, but I do like this collction of stamps from the Isle of Man that were released recently.
The photos used on the stamps were from a competition sponsored by the Isle of Man Steam Packet shipping company, and they show something of the variety of landscapes and scenes on the island.
For many years we were regular holiday visitors to the island, but it is now 10 years since our last visit. It is a beautiful place that still calls us back, so hopefully that may be possible some time.
wonderful collection ! wow! Are these stamps in use at moment?
Isle of Man looks more interesting than I thought, am sure you will be going to visit again soon

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
These stamps were released on 29th July 2020 and are currently in use. I received a parcel with these stamps in a presentation pack, along with two other recently released sets, at the end of July. They are a fascinating way of learning about a place. The IOM stamp releases are usually quite attractive - they have an excellent group of designers. The images in this set do call me back to the island. I think I've visited all the locations illustrated.
