to fascinate (and frighten) us today.

In Canada, we never run out of something to
say when it comes to the weather. This second

phenomena to add to the conversation.

Canadians always have something to say on the

m urmurs more than some of the fleeting (but
f abulous) phenomena that can appear when
weather permits.
These stamps, which follow our first weather-
themed issue from 2015, showcase five other
weather wonders: steam fog (1), a moon halo (2),
a waterspout (3), lenticular clouds (4) and light
pillars (5). Captured in Canada by amateur and
professional photographers with endless patience,
keen eyes and some luck too, these photos reveal
the awesome power and beauty of nature.
