The Vatican Museums (Italian: Musei Vaticani) are the museums of the Vatican City and are located within the city's boundaries. They display works from the immense collection built up by the Roman Catholic Church throughout the centuries including some of the most renowned classical sculptures and most important masterpieces of Renaissance art in the world. Pope Julius II founded the museums in the early 16th century. The Sistine Chapel with its ceiling decorated by Michelangelo and the Stanze della Segnatura decorated by Raphael are on the visitor route through the Vatican Museums.
The Gallery of Maps (Italian: Galleria delle carte geografiche) is a gallery located on the west side of the Belvedere Courtyard in the Vatican museum, containing a series of painted topographical maps of Italy based on drawings by friar and geographer Ignazio Danti. The decorations on the vaulted ceiling are the work of a group of Mannerist artists including Cesare Nebbia and Girolamo Muziano.
The Map Butterfly (Araschnia levana) is so named because the wings of its spring generation are marked a bit like a road map. However, this butterfly is famous for having a highly dissimilar summer generation, which has largely black wings with a single white band across. The summer generation resembles a tiny White Admiral more than it resembles its orange map-winged spring generation. It is quite common in Continental Europe but is absent from Britain. It was introduced to both Monmouthshire and Herefordshire in 1912 but only lasted a couple of years. A number were seen in Dorset in 2014 but it seems generally agreed that these too were introduced rather than genuine natural colonists. They are cousins of the Red Admiral but much, much smaller. But their caterpillars similarly feed on nettles. I photographed this spring brood male in Estonia where they seemed to be quite common.
Its scientific name Araschnia also describes the reticulate wing pattern of the spring brood. It comes from the Greek word "arakhnion" for spider's web. Levana was an obscure Roman goddess.

this is the story--an adventure--a journey--a mystery--of a girl.
i've been eating, sleeping, breathing, dreaming about doing this series for almost 2 years now. it is finally starting. there are ups and downs, pain and laughter, heat and exhaustion, excitement and starvation, sea sickness..and a whole lot more. this is my dream, and it is happening...right before my eyes. want to take the journey with us? keep coming back for more!
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. BBN is the random scatter of green in the middle (early ARPANET). Sprint is the organized star topology in purple near the top. AOL is a gray disconnected island in the lower center. There is little correlation between this network connectivity graph and physical geography, except for a clustering of Pac Rim connectivity.
Here is a gallery of Internet maps by Ches of Lumeta, and Ben below provides a link to a huge map with labels.
This technique can also see the network “lights go out” during wartime bombing raids.
In a nutshell, they use a modified hacker trick of sending a storm of IP packets out randomly across the network. Each packet is programmed to self-destruct after a delay, and when this happens, the packet failure notice reports back the path the packet took before it died. To visualize this sea of data, Ches applied place & route software from the semiconductor CAD industry to untangle the hairball of data and spread it out in a 2D map that humans can easily absorb. In these maps, one can see security gaps and unknown network connections. (disclosure: we invested them when they spun out of Bell Labs)
I was astounded by Bill Rankin's map of Chicago's racial and ethnic divides and wanted to see what other cities looked like mapped the same way. To match his map, Red is White, Blue is Black, Green is Asian, Orange is Hispanic, Gray is Other, and each dot is 25 people. Data from Census 2000. Base map © OpenStreetMap, CC-BY-SA

Update 6 years later - This trail has been built and has been in use for several years now. It's a great walk and provides reasonably easy access to the Pratt Valley.

NASA image release November 16, 2011
The science team that oversees the imaging system on board NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has released the highest resolution near-global topographic map of the moon ever created.
This new topographic map, from Arizona State University in Tempe, shows the surface shape and features over nearly the entire moon with a pixel scale close to 100 meters (328 feet). A single measure of elevation (one pixel) is about the size of two football fields placed side-by-side.

Metro, Subway, Tube, Underground. Different names for the same thing. Many cities have one and they all have maps so we can use them. Some are schematic, such as the London Underground Map, some are more geographically realistic, like the New York Subway Map, but they are all works of art in their own right. Now what if the cities of the world were linked by a metro system? Well that's what I've done here my with my artistic interpretation of a World Metro Map.
The design leans more towards the realistic style (New York Subway Map) rather than schematic style (London Underground Map). I felt this makes it visually appealing yet still easily recognizable.
The downside of taking the more realistic approach was evident in the dense area of Europe. It was difficult to choose the cities for this region due to the limited space available. Whilst some locations didn't make it to the finished artwork, I feel that the major historic cities of Europe are well represented.
More info about this and where it can be purchased on my blog:
