World of Maps, at the corner of Wellington Street and Holland Avenue in the Ottawa neighbourhood of Hintonburg, is a store I've always meant to visit, but I just haven't gotten around to doing so.
I really like the logo on that store, with the "O" in "of" being a globe.
This shot really reminds me of the "Bohemian Rhapsody" segment from the beginning of one of my all time favourite movies, Wayne's World. Most people, if they remember that scene at all, remember Wayne, Garth, and the guys in the back head banging and lip-synching to Queen, but that sequence also featured some awesome urban night photography of interesting and eccentric storefronts (and the "Spindle" sculpture with 8 cars on a spike) which I think is actually a major subconscious inspiration on my own photography.
World of Maps seems like a store that could easily have been featured in that sequence, if only it was in Aurora, Illinois.
Routing 30,000 randomly-chosen trips through the paths suggested by 10,000 randomly-chosen geotags. These are perhaps the most interesting routes between the endpoints of the trips, even if not necessarily the most likely.

A scan of a 1954 map of Scotland's railway network. Thanks to a certain Dr Richard Beeching a lot of this disappeared in the mid 1960s....best viewed large and see if where you live once had a station !
Contemplating the exposed trail along the ridge above Lado di Fedaia. Marmolada (10,968') dominates the horizon.
Illustration based on a poem by Henry Vaughan called 'The World', which was used in excerpt by Bertrand Russell in his 'History of Western Philosophy' to depict a pre-socratic vision of the world.

Adventurer Alastair Humphreys and photographer Chris Herwig made an unsupported crossing of Iceland. They carried all of their food, camping gear, and equipment for both glacier crossing and packrafting in 40kg packs.
Hiking inland from the coast to the bleak interior highlands, Alastair and Chris crossed a glacier to reach the headwaters of Iceland's longest river. There they inflated packrafts and began paddling their way down to the opposite coast.
For more information, writing and videos from this expedition please visit www.alastairhumphreys.com
For information about the commercial use of any of the Iceland images please contact Chris at www.herwigphoto.com
All photos in this set were taken by Alastair or Chris (http://www.flickr.com/photos/herwigphoto) (and most of the good ones are by Chris!)
