Waterfalls/Rivers on Sunday Stamps - Norway, USA, New Zealand

 I'm not sure that this is a waterfall in Norway but it certainly looks like one.

Norway - 13 June 1979

I was working in Stavanger at the time it was issued a came from a scenery series, this one depicting fauna, mammals and horses.

A ship's wheel and a power transmission tower (pylon) appeared on this Arkansas River Navigation stamp from the USA.

USA - 1 October 1968

Somehow I think you might need a map or sat-nav to find your way from Minnesota to Louisiana along the Great River Road through 10 States to follow the course of the Mississippi.

USA - 21 October 1966

The Peace issue from New Zealand in 1946 include a stamp showing Lake Matheson.

New Zealand - 1 April 1946

The lake formed in a hollow left by the Fox Glacier. Although it is not clear in the stamp, the Clearwater River drains out of the lake.

A very scenic Norwegian stamp. The Great River road would make a fantastic trip.

The perspective of the Arkansas River stamp is interesting. And a cruise down the Mississippi would be enjoyable (in another time, of course). A magnificent waterfall was my first thought on the Norwegian stamp. And, finally, an almost impossible view of peace and perfection from NZ!

The Mississippi stamp design is very original. I love also the colours of those vintage stamps like that lake in New Zealand.
