High and Low

1963: Landscapes of Hwagshan - Yellow Mountains
Jade Screen Peak composed of Mesozoic granite formed through intense magmatic activity, its steep cliffs later sculpted by repeated glacial action during the last 2.6 million years, known as the Quaternary Period.
1963: Czech Scenery
Taking a deep dive to the caves and stalagmites of Moravia. The Moravian Karst contains over a thousand spaces and caves decorated with stalactites and stalagmites. The five major cave systems have guided tours, one of which has a motorboat ride along the underground Punkva River
1964: Tourism Series
More stalactites and stalagmites in the Drach Cave, four great caves in the island of Majorca which are connected to each other. One can experience a music concert on the subterranean Lake Martel where classical musicians play from illuminated rowing boats. The lake is named after the 19th Century French speleologist Édouard-Alfred Martel.

1964: Stalactites of Aggtelek
The Aggteleki Cave  also known as Baradla Cave is a massive 26 kilometre long and located on the border areas of Hungary and Slovakia. Famous for its huge chambers, stalactites and underground concert hall.  It  may be chilly down there but is a constant 10c (50F) year round. A UNESCO World Heritage Site

Concert. halls and musical boats - what an exceptional experience, as if the caves themselves weren't extraordinary on their own!!

Thank you for sharing cave and mountain stamps. A concert in a cave must be amazing, but what about the echoes?
