Was trying to find the "you are here" icon on this acropolis map, but then realised it had been worn away by thousands of poking fingers.
A map that's up on the back of my door reminding me of what wonders I have to look forward to. Around it are quotes I have came upon. My favorite is "the world is like book, if you don't travel you only read one page".
Based on 1616 map by John Speed. Put in areas of territory, mountains and rivers, lakes, geology, elementary language and biology, Height c.46", acrylic, collage, ink and silver leaf on wood

Although not able to explore inside the buildings, this facility in Mexico, MO was still cool to see.
Originally the Mexico Fire Brick and Fire Clay Company, founded in either the early 1900's or late 1800's, I am not sure which, it was purchased in 1910 by A.P. Green for a whopping $85,000 and became the A.P. Green Fire Brick Company. Five years later, when the company became incorporated, the value of the equipment and facility had risen to over $200,000. This plant was one of the world's leading producers of brick, and bricks from this plant were even used in the boilers of Navy warships. The military awarded the Army-Navy "E" for Excellence and Maritime "M" to the A.P. Green Company in recognition for its achievements during WWII. Bricks from this factory even line the launch pad at Cape Canaveral. In it's heyday, over 2,000 people were employed and nearly everyone in the town of Mexico could hear the whistle blow for shift changes. Unfortunately in 2002, the plant closed down. A new company by the name of Mid America Brick came by an in 2009, purchased the facility for $9.7 million. Mid America did not last long. In 2013, Mid America filed for bankruptcy and the site was again abandoned. Now the assets are owned by Shamrock Proppants' and the site lies mostly abandoned.
