The US Postal Service will be classing up the joint, with the planned release of 16 stamps featuring the photography of Ansel Adams. They write:


Ansel Adams made a career of crafting photographs in exquisitely sharp focus and nearly infinite tonality and detail. His ability to consistently visualize a subject — not how it looked in reality but how it felt to him emotionally — led to some of the most famous images of America’s natural treasures including Half Dome in California’s Yosemite Valley, the Grand Tetons in Wyoming, and Denali in Alaska, the highest peak in the United States.


Due to be unveiled on May 15th, the stamps will feature iconic US landscapes, including Half Dome in Yosemite National Park, Monument Valley in Arizona, the Grand Tetons, the Snake River and more. Find more information on the stamps here.
