Joe shared this from his visit to the old City Hall in London “he map room in the lowest floor of the old city hall was pretty big”
Harry shared this map that he spotted on his holiday in Brazil “I also saw this nice wall in a restaurant on Ilhabella which maybe scores better on the “maps as art” criteria.” I like the way that the land is cut out of the plaster exposing the brick.
Edwin Wisze shared this “A few of the meeting rooms during the Logius PI planning have a beautiful map as a carpet. Here are a few examples: New York and The Hague” I love maps you can walk on, feels like the right scale for me. Which is your favourite?
Elizabeth spotted this street art on her way to the Kunjapuri temple. A quick search suggests that it is the symbol for International Yoga Day but you already knew that didn’t you?
I found this old T-shirt in a box in storage, long forgotten. This was a swag from my first employment.
Reinder shared this cartoon by Thiago Lucas which one the European Cartoon Award. The absence of New Zealand from the map may be a cartographic omission or it might be one more reason to take refuge there.
At the Cubic Theatre at the London Transport Museum, a play about Harry Beck and the story behind the London tube map.
This car was found in Louhans, a small town in the Bresse region in France. The town is worth a visit for its market on Mondays.
Dr. Dawn Wright shared this treasure map from the Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest winners at Esri.
Erik sent this picture from QGIS meetup in Bratislava. Put 5 map geeks in front of a map and you will get a heated discussion of cartography, projections and stuff, add some beer and it might go on for quite a while.
