One of the new walking maps that have appeared in Woking town centre.
Woking (Rail) Station - Direct links to London and Portsmouth. What about Southampton?
Woking "Bus Station" - even though it's not a bus station and has never been referred to as a bus station in any bus publicity.
Also has regular bus services to... Woking.
Woking Railair coach link - To Gatwick... via Guildford on the train? Half hourly to Heathrow, even though it was cut to hourly for most of the day in October 2014.
Hopeless.
Gloucester Walk, Woking, Surrey.
Map of Central London dating back to the early 1930s. This view shows the central part of the Capital, roughly the limits of the Circle line and travel zone 1.
Thanks to a very good friend, I recently acquired a Geographia map of ‘London and Suburbs’. The cloth printed map came with two covers of the accompanying book, together with an index of streets. Whilst the map was in quite good condition, the book covers themselves were in a very poor state and falling apart. Thanks to the work of a local picture framer, the map is now safely framed and hanging on a wall at home.
No date of publication is printed on the map, and when I initially saw LNER & LMS Depots, I realised the map was at least 70 years old. Further investigations of closed Underground stations made me realise it was at least 80 years old as St Mary’s station, close to Aldgate, closed in 1938. Thanks to a colleague at work, I discovered that it was actually an open Underground station that dated the map to be between 1931 and 1933. Between these two years Dollis Hill, currently on the Jubilee line, was named ‘Dollis Hill & Gladstone Park’ and this name appears on the map.
Best viewed large.

These contour maps are simple to make - you need a function that takes two arguments (say x and y) and returns a third value (say z), which defines the location of that point on a colour map. If you get the function and the colour scheme right, you can get attractive abstract patterns.
This function is something like sin(x) * tan(y) = z.
A section of the Ordnance Survey map, showing Redbrae farm at the top, where I was parked, Barallan Hill, over which I had to walk to avoid the cattle, and Mains of Torhouse. The ruins that caught my eye from the top of Barallan Hill are indicated with the red arrow.

The Julia colors are a bit too vibrant here, perhaps... :)
Blue and white dashed lines are railroads. Blue dots are schools.

মাগো তোর হাত মোরা ছাড়বোনা
এখান থেকে এক চুলও নড়বোনা
মাগো দেখ তোর জন্য তরুণ প্রাণ
লিখছে আবার স্বাধীনতার গান।।

Last night the land mass was redistributed.
The UK remains largely unscathed however the US is now a mass of little islands.
We can now nip to Scandinavia for the day.
I can't find France, we may have lost them.We still have Spain though.

Exhibition “Preliminaries”: design at the threshold of love.
As an extension of a project on the theme of love, Slott gallery
and Exquise Design® have invited four designers to play out
their fantasies, giving shape and meaning, breathing life into their
conceptions of preliminaries. They have approached this subject
from different and complementary viewpoints that together offer
a panorama of creation like no other seen before.
Arik Levy unveils his work on the spoken and the unspoken of
intimate relations with his series of installations entitled “Confessions”
that includes, among other elements, an examination of
the iconography of sexuality alongside a kind of modern home
confessional. As the theme of the exhibition required that contributions
be solicited from both male and female designers in equal
measure, it is fascinating to observe the ways in which, by sharing
their visions, they complete and engage each other.
matali crasset and Florence Jaffrain carry us away to underwater paradises
with their respective works “Aequorea” and “Belly Love”, creating
soft and sensual shapes that run up against Mathieu Lehanneur’s
torrid yet petrified flames in his “The Power of Love”.
Visitors will also be struck by the singular visions of the four
designers, each of which offers a completely different approach
to objects. With his Confessions, Arik Levy makes the object a
tool for communication, standing in for the fears and concerns
we often find it so difficult to voice. Straddling the boundaries of
design and architecture, matali crasset approaches the object
as a space. Mathieu Lehanneur, working from a more sculptural
perspective, raises the object to the heights of allegory (of the
couple), at the same time endowing it with a mediating role.
Last but not least, Florence Jaffrain tends to make the object an end
in itself, by creating a sofa that might almost be perceived as
playing the role of the lover, becoming an object of desire.

This is a map in the office of the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union in Addis. One of the best maps I have seen with all of the Communities in this area.
Take a close look you might notice a few coffees you have loved in the past---I think almost all the great coffees I have tasted from Ethiopia are on this map.
Detail from a wall-sized map I saw in an Austrian museum. I love the variety of trees and the simplicity of the marks made to create them.

Planning map for BART lines and stations.
In this version, the outer reaches of the system are postponed to the future for cost reduction and the Twin Peaks Tunnel restored to being a streetcar subway.
Working on a special edition of the Three Card Monte wallet -- this one with a map of the walkable area around the FIT. If you've got long legs -- the map runs from the bottom of Central Park to Washington Square.
You can see I've added some glyphs, to signify where bad coffee and good pizza may be found, as well as Mustang Sally's and the Three Crowns. I reckon it also needs subway stops and paper stores.
Suggestions solicited.
