One could spend a more than a penny in this mappy toilet.

Apologies, I have lost track of who sent this one to me.

Yet another beauty from Reinder Storm, I love these massive maps on the sides of buildings.

The #map on this house in #Hildesheim (Germany) makes clear what the city looked like before 1945.

This magnificent map of the Netherlands on a fine china plate came via Reinder Storm (of course). It is from a collection in the Rijksmuseum.

These plates reflect the period when the Netherlands and Belgium formed the United Kingdom of the Netherlands (1815-1830). The kingdom consisted of 17 provinces plus the grand duchy of Luxembourg. The gold decoration is in the neoclassical style. On the upper edge are the arms of each province in gold on the blue border; the arms of the United Kingdom are on the lower side. Today the Netherlands consists of 12 provinces.

Cartonaut sent me this as a suggestion for my birthday wishlist. You absolutely don’t have to play basketball to want one of these.

Raf spotted this superb interactive Moscow Metro map on the Soviet Visuals site.

Last year on Valentines Day, Europa Technologies shared this picture of Tavarua Island, Fiji by Warren Vick, their founder.

I thought it was such a great image that I decided to republish it this year. #Perfect!

Raf can’t resist a wine bottle with a map or some contour lines, neither can I. This wine comes from the Tarragona province in Catalonia.
