Somepeople find maps invaluable, others a distraction or a nuseance. Sometimes the shortest distance is not the most direct route! I cannot tell you how many times Adam and I have bickered over directions. In reality they can be very useful for getting around or on occasion quite the oppisite. They are an artistic display with their own language of strange and mysterious symbols. They tell the tale of the land: how geography, the weather, and we have changed it. In the most obvious sense, maps are like stories. My fascination began as a child, staring at an Atlas or an Ordanance Survey map, trying to imagine what I would see if I were there or I would loose myself in fantasy maps such as those in the Hobbit & the Lord of the Rings and imagining my own adventures. As mentioned in my previous post, I’m a big fan of maps.
