It is not oriented northwards, like modern maps, but faces east towards the altar in such a fashion that the position of places on the map coincides with the actual compass directions. Originally, it measured 21 by 7 m and contained over two million tesserae. Its current dimensions are 16 by 5 m. (Wikipedia)
Street map of Ayamonte.
I've been trying to work out which stadium this is, because it doesn't belong to Ayamonte CF, as theirs is further down the coast, but on GoogleMaps the satellite view doesn't show this area as having a stadium.
The background is a constellation map from National Geographic. The boy on the tractor is my son in law's father. The stars are highlighted with Diamond Stickles.

Way less sexy than the previous couple so far, but I had no idea how brushes or clipping masks worked correctly in Illustrator.
Also, this is a very cool way of learning how to do what looks like a double-stroke.

The boardwalk trail through the Elfin Forest Natural Area. The chaparral contains pygmy oaks which grow only a maximum of 12 feet tall. The ones I saw were around 3 to 8 feet tall. In the background are part of the chain of ancient volcanic peaks that stretch from San Luis Obispo to Morro Bay. The one in the middle is Bishop Peak.

D.C., Arlington, and Alexandria were aggregated for clarity
This map was on the back of the seats on our Delta flight from Portland to Atlanta. I was hoping my hometown, Hamilton AL, would show up, but it did not. For some reason, Haleyville, 20 miles to the east of Hamilton did.

In the car I was like Tina Thörner, the famous Swedish map reader. We did not miss one singel turn. That I know of.
