A tourist map on the wall at the Lake Manyara Wildlife Lodge. It shows only a part of the NE border of Tanzania with Kenya (the thick line angling around Mt. Kilimanjaro). The hwys continue off the map south to Dar es Salaam on the Indian Ocean, and west to Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika, the headwaters of the Nile.
The notes indicate where every day began. I flew into JRO near Moshi the evening before Day 1, and flew out of JRO at the end of Day 9.

This map represents a vast eco-tour project ongoing in Ikaria island Greece since 1996. The project is "self-financed". The sales of the map provide the means to design and make *good trails* ( = leading through interesting places). It works as good as it looks. Just try and make an early morning start.

I've been working over the last couple of months on this map of Dundee's botanic gardens. It was quite tricky as the weather had changed so radically by the time I got to adding the colour. Luckily I had got quite a few reference shots just before autumn.
It was good fun doing this project, would definitely be up for doing more illustrative maps.

If I could go back in time before the interstate system was built through Baton Rouge, I would propose this sort of redesign. I-10 through Baton Rouge is a major fail. There's simply no way to get around it, and transnational traffic blends with local commuters to make a congested nightmare at rush hour. My fantasy do-over would route I-10 south around Baton Rouge and upgrade the US 61 and LA 1 corridors.
