A towering iceberg that captured international attention in 2017 when it parked beside a tiny Newfoundland town will be seen around the world again sa国际传媒� on an international stamp.

The remarkable iceberg drew a flood of onlookers to Ferryland, a town of about 500, in April 2017, and made headlines in global media including The New York Times, CNN, BBC, Time, The Guardian and Russiasa国际传媒檚 state-backed news channel.

St. Johnsa国际传媒檚, N.L., photographer Michael Winsor rushed to Ferryland to capture a striking image of the giant iceberg dwarfing the shoreline.

His timing was right, and he captured the iceberg framed behind two homes and a docked fishing boat, just as the eveningsa国际传媒檚 lights started to twinkle.

sa国际传媒淚 wanted to go up there around blue hour, which is just after sunset, because then you get the blue in the sky and things, where the lights just come on. I find itsa国际传媒檚 one of my favourite times of taking pictures,sa国际传媒� Winsor said in an interview.

He knew hesa国际传媒檇 cinched a great shot when he glanced at his photos on the way home.

Winsorsa国际传媒檚 work is often featured by Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism, where he says Canada Post found his photo and contacted him to participate in the sa国际传媒淔rom Far and Widesa国际传媒� stamp series.

The stamps featuring his work hit shelves this week, and Winsor held one for the first time on Monday.

sa国际传媒淚tsa国际传媒檚 pretty cool,sa国际传媒� he said. sa国际传媒漀ot very many photographers sa国际传媒� very, very few sa国际传媒� can say they had their image on a postage stamp.sa国际传媒�

Winsor also runs a photo tourism business, bringing visitors to Newfoundlandsa国际传媒檚 iconic sights at the right time to capture the best possible pictures.

But the artist said itsa国际传媒檚 a special feeling to be recognized on a stamp that will travel the world sa国际传媒� and hesa国际传媒檚 considering mailing his own prints to customers marked with the stamp he shot.

sa国际传媒淚 sell calendars and stuff like that internationally,sa国际传媒� he said. sa国际传媒滻 might buy a roll of these and put those stamps on there.sa国际传媒�
