Berl sent me this pic of an embroidered map by his aunt. “My aunt had a similar map on a wall in her home which she had embroidered. Cheekily I asked if she would make one for my ninth birthday – and she did. Here it is on a wall […]
Reinder sent this pic of a shuttered shop in Amsterdam with a world map in the window. Time moves on.
Micha Silver sent us this pic. “Here’s a wall mosaic on a store front in Shelburn Falls, a small town in western Massachusetts. The town lies on the Shelburn River, and residents have transformed an abandoned train bridge over the river to a beautiful flower exhibition.”
Marc-Tobias sent us this pic of a van showing the car sharing locations in Munster- a very detailed map for the side of a van.
Andrew Zolnai sent us these pics of the entrance foyer ceilings at the Scott Polar Institute in Cambridge. Arctic and Antarctic maps as frescoes.
Elizabeth sent this pic of the Safety Curtain at the Apollo Theatre in London when she went to see Wicked there.
Elizabeth shared this pic that she spotted in a small gallery – neat but what is it trying to say? Answers on a postcard please.
John Ievers sent me this pic. “ Imagine my surprise when opening a pack of French biscuits. Perhaps better suited to the kids school lunch – tres bien.”
Derick Rethans sent this pic. “This map in (on?) a bench describing the river it’s next to, is quite a joyful one” Joyful indeed, there is a meta character to this that makes it special.
Daniel Angerer sent us the pics of this exquisite map on the label of a bottle of Montmija Signature wine. This is maps and wine at their very best, imagine walking around the vineyard guided by the map while drinking the wine!
Elizabeth spotted this cute painting near Leicester Square in London. I wish I could read the caption on the painting but some vandal has stuck a sticker over it!
