PhilosateleiaLandscapes on postcards

Reader Mike K. recently showed his support for Philosateleia by sending a couple of batches of stamps and postcards, including several picturing the Oregon coast. Here’s a sample:
Mike identifies the large dome-shaped rock at top center as Elephant Rock in Seal Rock, Ore.
This postcard and the others similar to it will fit nicely with my landscape collection, so to Mike I say, thanks!
My landscape stamp collection

When I started collecting stamps years ago, you could have probably called me a generalist with a strong emphasis on U.S. stamps. The largest part of my collection is still U.S. material, but over the last couple of years I’ve also started a thematic or topical collection: landscapes.
In the coming months, I plan to share images and write-ups on my landscape stamps, starting with Codri Nature Reserve in Moldova, which I just posted. I hope you enjoy seeing what’s in my collection.
What’s your approach? Do you collect only a country or countries, or do you have a thematic collection as well?
