Because of our little snow problem in Boston, my mailbox (rural, on the street) is buried under rock-hard snow, so I couldn't pick my gift up until yesterday at the P.O. It was a small mailing tube...that contained some of the coolest travel posters I've ever seen.

My Santa is the best Santa anywhere. I'm very sorry my photos all have the kitchen light reflected in them, but I wanted to post this as soon as possible so everybody could see their spiffiness.

The artist has just a great sense of how to mix classic travel poster style with the Solar system. Wow! You have to see them all - they are marvelous. They include Titan, Europa, Pluto (still fighting the good fight of planetude), Uranus, Mars, and the Earth's Moon. And, since I'm a fan of Grand Prix (Formula 1) auto racing, I particularly love the poster of Sol, which is used as the cover image for this post.

Thank you, Santa Cool. :-) Wonderful images! And just perfect for me. Do I know you?
