Derick Rethams @derickr sent us this beer label map

I found this map on a bottle of beer and decided it would be a great beer to have after finishing the Thames Path. It’s made by Hop Kettle based near the source of the Thames on Cricklade: https://derickrethans.nl/downstream-days1-3.html

There are actually three different designs that when put next to each other show the whole length of the Thames.

Who would like to take  trip along the Liquid Highway? Maybe a Mappery outing for spring next year?

Taken by Jeremy Wright at the Kona Inn, Kona on Hawaii (the big island) this is a large and spectacular three-dimensional map using planes of wood to form the bathymetry around the islands. You quite often see these sort of relief maps made by those with access to laser cutting technology but not normally at this size. Try telling me you don’t want this on your wall. You’d be lying!

Caught this map mug on BBC World News. Casually just sat on the desk, located at Broadcasting House in London.

Michael Terner  sent me this pic of an earring which he tells me is based on part of the street network in Portland

Here’s a map of the Portland, Oregon street grid, including it’s numerous Willamette River crossings. The map is found on the earring of one of my 22 year old daughter’s roommates

Who knows? Anyone able to add labels?

I think Charles Kennelly is getting over eager, I can’t see a map here but he says

“Accidental map of the world, I can’t remember how it ended up in my photo collection”

My kind of restaurant when you’re greeted by a map. Food is superb too!!!

Thanks to the lady who let me take a pic of her superb medal for completing the 2018 Columbus marathon in Ohio, USA. I have to hand it to the Americans, they love using the shapes of their states in anything and everything. Here, the shape of Ohio. What else?!

Yet another pic from (as of now) our most prolific contributor Charles Kennelly.

“Map outside office in Kamakura Japan, my best guess is that it depicts underwater cable routes. I love the projection and the water caused discolouration that results from the projection.”

I look forward to the discussion between Charles and Ken on the virtues of this projection

A magnificent laser-cut wooden map of the street network of Norfolk VA hanging in a small elevator lobby in the Marriott Waterside hotel. It measures about 4 ft by 3ft and the depth of the wood casts some great shadows from the lobby light above. The detail is impressive when you get closer.
