A postcard from Boston, from USA.

This is a card from Boston. The picture on it shows the Statue of Liberty, which is sitting in New York. It was dedicated in October 28, 1886 and sent by France as a gift to celebrate America's independence from Great Britain. With the base under it, the statue is totally 93 meters in height, as tall as a 31-story building.

This stamp is much different from others in shape. It is in the shape of a circle instead of a common rectangle. This round stamp displays a detailed photograph of the moon, the only natural satellite of Earth. Because the moon's period of rotation(自轉) and revolution(公轉) are the same, we can always but only see the same part of its surface from Earth. Maybe it is a good news for the United  States Postal Service(美國郵政署). They don't have to decide which part of the moon they should choose as a picture on the stamp.XD
