Doug G spotted this. “42N Brewing Asylum Porter Birds eye map of Buffalo State Hospital area.” Strong beer, nice map.

Matthew Edney shared this from his local store. What self respecting map geek is not going to want to taste that beer?

Erik spotted this on route to last year’s FOSS4GNA

Kaakaapoo sent us this super massive floor map of Leeds “My favourite #MapsInTheWild for @mappery, the map of Leeds filling the main room of Leeds City Museum”. Almost makes me want to visit to Leeds!

Berndan deWeg shared this pic of a lamp in his home. “A Maps in the Wild in my living room.. geological map of part of Spain as lamp…”

Raf spotted this premium chocolate map in Poboleda. “Xocoleda 9 Onze is an awesome chocolate shop in Poboleda, a small village in the wine making region of Priorat in Catalunya.”

Erik spotted this in a thrift shop. “Best thrift store find of the year: #MapsintheWild cookie cutter (or: clip irl function). I’ll accept the #mapswithoutnewzealand issue. Wouldn’t be more than a crumb anyway!”

Stan Carey shared this mirror map. “Mirrors in the shape of the Aran Islands at Connemara Airport, alongside Tim Robinson’s map for lo-fi comparison (below)”

Erik shared this great puzzle map. “100 years of #RotaryInternational in the Netherlands celebrated with a biking marathon for charity through the country. Today”

Doug shared this “Map of Peaks Island keeping my hands warm and my beer cool.”

We all love a map jigsaw, well at least Harry Woods and I do. Here’s Harry making a jigsaw map of London that was made from OpenStreetMap. I guess you could make a jigsaw of your favourite location, could be one for my friends at SplashMaps.

Matt Malone was one happy geographer when he got this umbrella for Christmas.

Harry Wood spotted this on the Archway Road in north London. I’m guessing that this is a removal van with some strong people but the connection to Worcester Sauce baffles me
