Impressive construction purely for bringing water to a city, done by ancient Romans.

I don't have catalogue of Spain, so I am guessing - is it issued under the Nationalist side in the Spanish Civil War era? I might be associated with tough memory from the time with local people..?

which includes hundreds of thousands of lakes.
One estimate is 879,800 lakes another says 2 million.
Ontario alone has 250,000 lakes.

Here is a 1956 stamp showing in a simplified way
two guys on a row boat fishing probably on a lake

Below are a couple of pics I took of the Falls last time I was there
which was 2015.

That is amazing!! Chunks of ice made those complicated carvings (engrave?) - the map makes me think about glacier's slow movement. And the Niagara Falls! - I was once in that little (well, proper size in fact) cruiser in the spray, 30 plus years ago. I still remember the water-dense air I breathed. Below are from another country with hundreds of lakes.
