Heart of Voh, New Caledonia

 
In Voh, a commune in the main island of New Caledonia, there is a mysterious landscape viewed from the air: a large formation of plants takes the shape of a heart. Actually, it has been naturally formed without any interference of the humans. Amazing? Yes, it is another art work by the Nature!
As shown on the postcard, this landscape is called "the Heart of Voh". Many thanks to Georges for sharing with me this breath-taking natural phenomena! The beautiful stamp shows the Lagoons of New Caledonia: Reef Diversity and Associated Ecosystems, a UNESCO World Heritage site in this special collectivity of France.
