Map board at Doxey Marshes. If you're ever stuck at Stafford train station for more than an hour, you've got time to take a short walk up to Doxey Marshes, which are about a quarter of a mile north of the station through the terraced back-streets. These are the marshes you see as you arrive at Stafford on the train, when coming down from the north of England or Stoke.

Day 6
I'm sick. And this is out of focus. And only took me 2 minutes to shoot and less than 30 seconds to edit/lighten and crop. Sleep time. //Re-edited.
These times are like hallways in our lives. The times we pour over maps like diligent students and figure out where we are going to be. Walking down a hallway is the instantaneous version, we turn where we think we should go.
But we aren't always right.
I don't like this.
Photos in this set were taken on the routes shown, visiting Accra, the capital, the "slave castles" of Cape Coast and Elmina, the cities of Koforidua, Kumasi, and Sunyani, where Crystal lived, and the Fiema Monkey Sanctuary.
Ghana was originally called the Gold Coast since this area supplied some of the earliest gold to Europe, first through trans-Sahel trade routes, then via ship starting in the 1400s.
Taken and originally posted in 2010.
Everyone gets lost in downtown Boston. These girls on the Common are going over their tourist maps.

Map of Naples' metro system. Line 2 is newly extended to Garibaldi station, with new stations at Dante and Toledo as well.
We did 12,000 or so steps on Saturday, but we knew we would crush that today. I had looked at the map, and a plan had come together.
Only, I have man flu, and as the day went on my temperature went up and up and I was sweating for England. And sneezing. I was a mess. But also driven to take snaps and see thing I have only dreamed of seeing.
First of all we walked up Greenwich Street for about ten blocks, past all these grand old buildings, offices and tree lined streets, not having a village feel, but this was The Village.
We stopped off for breakfast at a café, sat at a table and pretended it wasn’t trying to rain. We both have pancakes and either bacon or sausage, and lashings of syrup. And plenty of hot joe.
Refuelled, we set off north some more, until we went one block west and in front of us, was the start of the High Line. The High Line is an old elevated freight railway, that has now been converted to a walk and wildflower garden
But before we walked that, we had an appointment with Mr Hopper at the Whitney Gallery. And we were half an hour ahead of schedule, so we sat outside a while, just resting up. I got talking to an artist who had set up a stall to sell her work, and got onto the subject of copyright theft as she thought I had snapped her work, and I said I would not do that as I respected people’s work.
She was very pleasantly surprised, and so we had a long talk, until it was time to go into the museum.
We went to the top of the building, out to the viewing platforms to get views over the city to the huge scrapers in Uptown.
Contemporary art can be challenging, and not all floats my boat, but there were some great stuff in there. And some blank canvasses, that’s all I’m saying.
Outside again, we buy a drink and a pretzel, then climb the steps onto the High Line and find a place to sit and eat.
Now, I like a walk, especially if there are plants and butterflies to look at, what I was not expecting is that half the city would also be out walking too, and getting in the way too, I mean, we’re all photographers these days, but damn, there were some crowds and slow walking people.
Highlight really was seeing a Monarch Butterfly, near enough to snap, even if I did not have the macro lens, but still, amazingly beautiful to see.
Near the end of the walk, the line winds through some spectacular new scrapers being built, then around the sidings for trains operating out of Penn Station, then one final corner and the walk drops to street level, right by the Mega Bus stops, and the place was even busier, that and the ComicCon taking place the other side of the street.
So seeing people dressed in blue body stockings or dressed like Laura Croft or a black Harry otter could be seen. And a family of Flash. Or all four of them dressed like The Flash.
We go into a bar for a swifter, but the choice is poor, almost as bad as the service, and a pint of ale (poor) and small bottle of cider (also poor) was fifteen bucks! But we did get to watch escapees from ComicCon come for food and drink, good to see it being a family thing.
By now we were flagging, and I was sweating badly, we walked up to Penn Station, past Maddison Square Garden.
We were not hungry, but it was gone two and we felt we should be eating, and anyway needed a rest, so we go into a huge Irish bar, got a table with views of two NFL games, ordered steak slices with salad and a side of fries and onion rings.
This global map of Saturn's moon Mimas was created using images taken during Cassini spacecraft flybys, with Voyager images filling in the gaps in Cassini's coverage. The moon's large, distinguishing crater, Herschel, is seen on the map at left. The map is an equidistant (simple cylindrical) projection and has a scale of 216 meters (710 feet) per pixel at the equator. The mean radius of Mimas used for projection of this map is 198.2 kilometers (123.2 miles). The resolution of the map is 16 pixels per degree.
This is a map of the New York City area showing the "Most Direct Routes to the New York World's Fair", with a second map on the back showing Manhattan and the location of the World's Fair exhibition itself. The map was distributed by General Motors to promote its "Futurama" exhibit, which like its 1939-1940 predecessor became the most popular exhibit of the entire event, drawing more than 29 million visitors over the course of the Fair. The back panel lists and gives details on 63 attractions in New York, which are identified by numbers on the map.
Folded, the map measures 5"x8", and unfolds to 10"x16". It is in amazing condition, having been tucked inside a GM Futurama brochure (also listed here) - it appears to be unused, and the only condition issue is a diagonal crease across the bottom right corner of the front.
