Guyana 2012 World Environment Day

For the 2012 World Environment Day, Guyana released a set of 2 souvenir sheets. The first one, shown here has 3 fan-shaped stamps arranged around a circular vignette, and together they form a blue sphere, perhaps to represent our blue planet. The outer ring of the blue sphere, formed by the 3 stamps, is populated with all sorts of marine creature, while the surface of the sphere is festooned with land creatures, together with creatures in flight flitting around the blue sphere. And on the lower left quadrant of the souvenir sheet one can find the yellow silhouette of a scuba diver placed across 2 regions, lying both inside and outside the blue sphere - a very interesting concept!
