Brief Description:

A brief description of the Most Popular Topics of this Release are: Universal Expositions, from a Wider International Expositions, and in particular the Universal Exposition Milano 2015, the current Universal Exposition being hosted by Milan, Italy, which opening took place on May 1st, 2015, and will be opened until October 31st, 2015. So, Milan City, Italy Country, and Tourism Topics could be related to this Release too.

The Motto of this instance of the Universal Exposition it is: "Feeding the planet, Energy for Life", so Food, Gastronomy, and Energy are Topics also related with this Universal Exposition in particular, and so, also related to this Release. The first two are even reinforced by the stamps selected to be used with this Special Postmark that are from a Series of four stamps released in November 8th, 2013 about Uruguayan Quality Products For Export, that focus on Beef and Wine, adding the Alcoholic Drinks and Fruits, in particular Wine and Grapes, as other Topics of this Release.

Then, looking more at the desing of this Special Postmark, not much Topic could be added, perhaps only Plants, as a kind of plant it is used as the Main Image of the Postmark, and also it is included the Logotype of Uruguay Natural, a kind of Motto used to promote Tourism in Uruguay, that relates this Release also with Ecology and by the Sun with Astronomy.


If you consider that there are another topics in this stamp, that were not spot in this review, you are encouraged to telling me about them, so please do not hesitate to post a comment. I would appreciate your help very much.

Another Topics related to this Release, could be Tourism, and Flora, both related to the Seaside "Las Cañas". The first relation is trivial , and the second comes from the name of the Seaside that refers to Bamboo Plant. Also Camping could be another Topic too.

Then, looking more at the desing of the Issue, many small Topics could be found: Trees, Fire, Hats, Shoes, Backpacks, Cook, Boil, Pots. And also, in the Logotype of the URUJAM 2015 Camping, the Bamboo again, and the Fleur-de-lis, the Stylized Lily, commonly used in Heraldy, that surrounded with the Knotted Rope, creates the Scouts Logotype.
