South Park seems like a strange choice to include here, as distant as it is from the rapid transit lines.

Way back in 2012 yateleyart and Mrs yateleyart spent a few days in Korcula on the the Croatian island of the same name.
yateleyart likes doodling maps and on this occasion he doodled a map of the island in the visitors' book in the house where they stayed.
That was 2012. yateleyart and Mrs yateleyart forgot all about it . . . .

I'm going to India from January 9 - March 5 of 2008! This is a slightly different plan from the other two. I still fly into Mumbai and visit many of the same cities, but stop over in Pune between Hampi and Kolkata, skip most of my wandering in West Bengal, and devote a specific stop to Agra rather than having it as a side trip from Delhi. Also, I think maybe everything was supposed to be backwards or something?
This seems like it would be somewhat more efficient in terms of travel. I'd much prefer the other two, but feel like I have to consider doing it this way.
This map shows the Norfolk roads for which turnpike trusts were responsible in the mid 19th century. The individual trusts are colour coded; the schedules show the common name of each trust and the date of the first Act of Parliament under which they were created. Trusts administered from Norfolk are listed on the left and those administered from adjoining counties on the right. Mapping based on Arthur Cossons survey of Norfolk. This map will be loaded onto www.http://turnpikes.org.uk/.
In the Irish mythology, Tír na nÓg was considered a place beyond the edges of the map, located on an island far to the west. It could be reached by either an arduous voyage or an invitation from one of its fairy residents.
Excerpt from visitstratford.ca/explore-the-artistic-side-of-culture/:
Commissioned in 2005, Tír na nÓg was installed by Mark Czajkowski. Meaning the Land of Youth, it is an ornate metal gateway leading from Downie Street into an intimate park. Tír na nÓg is a popular otherworld in Irish mythology thought to be on an island far beyond the edges of maps and reachable only by a long, challenging journey or by invitation from a resident fairy.
Porto Cupecoy is the most luxurious, culturally-rich residential experience in the Caribbean islands.
The luxury residential resort of Porto Cupecoy enjoys a prime location on the island of Sint Maarten, the Caribbean’s premiere island.
Since Porto Cupecoy is situated on the Dutch side of the island but is just a short distance from the French border, residents can also enjoy the sophistication and natural beauty of the island’s French side.

Unlike yesterday's map from 1807, Pigot reverts back to North at the bottom, south at the top. Comparison with the 1650 and 1750 maps, which are drawn with the same orientation, shows the extent of the city's growth.
Strangeways, a relatively underdeveloped area containing an old workhouse, can be seen at the bottom of the map between the rivers Irk and Irwell. At the top of the map can be seen the open fields of Petersfield.
In 1805 the Lee and Phillips Factory in Salford became the first to be lit by gas. In 1806 the Portico Library opened. In the same year the Mersey-Irwell Naviagtion enabled the first packet boat to travel from the New Bailey Bridge to Rucorn. This canal would later become part of the Manchester Ship Canal. In 1808 the Manchester and Salford Waterworks Company was established, to provide much-needed water supplies for the mills and the newly-arrived immigrant workers.
The wonderful engraving complete with mill, scroll and packaged goods can be understood as representing life in the city in the early 1800s in this context of industry, learning and commerce.

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.

Couldn't think of anything else to shoot today, there was a map lying around so I got out a compass and took a few shots. Yeah another cop out shot day, lol.
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.
