BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — The National Park Service is featuring a photo taken more than a decade ago of bison in Yellowstone National Park on a postage stamp to celebrate its 100th year anniversary.

The Bozeman Daily Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/1NVwWAm ) the image captured by Seattle-based photographer Art Wolfe is the last to be unveiled as part of the National Park Service’s stamp project. A stamp pane including the Yellowstone photo and 15 other stamps will be previewed this week.

The stamps will be issued in June.

The Yellowstone photo features two bison basking in the early morning sun in the Lamar Valley.

Wolfe had taken the photo while documenting animals living in habitats across the world for his book entitled, “The Living Wild.”
