I don't know what the neighbours made of me lying on my back on the lawn aiminig my camera skywards through these globe thistles :-)
In the castle is a great hall, known for its literary collection and a great, globe map of the world.
This is inside the northeast side of the building... check out the southwest side. I'm a little irritated that the full, uncropped version of this didn't quite work out... perhaps I'll work on it some more when I get done editing the rest of Saturday's stuff.

At first i had the liberty of shooting 'the globe' which is located in the middle of the entrance Mall of Asia for about 10 mins or so .. .
Then i decided to have a better view and so i cross the other side of the street . . . . so i crossed. . . i heard a sound ppppbrrrrtttttttttttttttttttttttt! pbrrrrrrrrrrrt! pbrrrrrrrrrt! . . .shrug it off . .
Looking at the globe i settled near the gate's mall then another sound pbrrrrrrt pbrrrrrrt pbrrrrrt . . . a man in uniform was going my way so i hurriedly took a shot then walk again and still the sound pbrrrrt pbrrrrrt walk again ang docked and shoot lol pbbbbrrrrrt pbrrrrrt the guard was already chasing me lol . . .
So i walk towards Baclaran and the guard stopped the chase lol.
I need to get back to the mall because my car was there!
Luck was still on my side from where i stand a taxi cab stopped . . driver pee on one of the trees and i told the cab driver to bring me to the mall. . .

This globe depicts a map which looks quite different from the current understanding of the terrestrial Earth. At first, I was led to believe it was the Gondwanaland/Laurasia - when all the continents were a single mass of land. But then Africa is separate.
A bit of research using the names of globe led me here - History of the Isle of Pines. It could be a map of an English bookkeeper George Pines who got lost in the Pacific Ocean going towards India in the 1600s.
I would be glad if someone could elucidate the real mystery behind this globe. Do let me know if you wish to take a look at other continents.
Premier Christy Clark delivered a keynote address to attendees of GLOBE 2016, North America’s largest sustainable business leadership summit.
This Globe is by Nicholas Lane and dates from about 1775. It shows Captain Cook's and Captain Anson's voyages. It is nested inside a spherical case which has the star map. It marks the spot at Owhyee (Hawaii) where Cook was murdered. There is a similar or identical one in the museum at Princeton University. And other views of this one in my photostream.

Discovery Globe at Florida's Fountain of Youth.
Developed under the leadership of park owner Walter B. Fraser, the Discovery Globe attraction was a scientific breakthrough in 1959. It was touted as one the finest examples of the new emphasis on technologically advanced educational tools in the United States. The 30 foot high Globe exhibit show illustrates the routes of the explorers to and from the New World, shows the extent of the lands of La Florida, the new Universities that were established in the Americas, and the settlements and cities that the explorers founded.
The Globe Theatre, Stockton on Tees
The theatre is awaiting imminent restoration (makes a change from imminent demolition!!) so it was now or never to get in there for a sneak peak at one of the UK's most famous 'at risk' theatres..
This globe has been rendered using both the Planetary Visions Satellite Imagemap, and worldwide bathymetry data.
The Satellite Imagemap is a highly realistic texture map of the Earth's entire surface. Derived from thousands of Earth-observation satellite images, the Satellite Imagemap represents an accurate and detailed portrait of our world at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The worldwide bathymetry data represents one of the most detailed models of the global seafloor yet assembled - a unique combination of the latest satellite-derived gravity measurements with digital bathymetric charts based on more than a hundred years of ship-borne hydrographic surveys.

A water drop graces the tip of a pine needle, and a snowman is reflected inside. The sun adds its sparkle to the edge of the water drop as it begins to snow.
