But in the true world they are better (and have no level lines on them, though thay do have lots of other "lines" telling old and new stories...).<br />Thanks for the nice post!gishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04415805582158291514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-79572950458409254972010-02-03T08:10:35.846+00:002010-02-03T08:10:35.846+00:00I was going to say the same thing as Ali did... Hi...I was going to say the same thing as Ali did... Hills have lines for me too... closer together the steeper the hill.<br /><br />It's a side effect of a geography degree.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08597324560311863417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-53899923047569202142010-02-02T20:04:15.245+00:002010-02-02T20:04:15.245+00:00I adore maps.I adore maps.blackbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474831322702380602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-74036745896750808392010-02-02T18:27:30.412+00:002010-02-02T18:27:30.412+00:00This post makes me happy.

When I see a map it becomes something lovely to be framed, a decoupage project or wallpaper for the study or the lampshades I have been imagining. Hopefully if I had the gift of appreciating maps for what they truly represent my scissors would never come near them!kathehttp://kathekramer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-44002192295271274082010-02-02T13:01:00.131+00:002010-02-02T13:01:00.131+00:00I love maps.

To me, maps are another kind of storytelling.<br /><br />Unlikely Book Recommendation: A Paper Landscape, the ordnance survey in nineteenth-century Ireland by J.H. Andrews. I once picked this up in a library and skimmed a few pages. Then I flipped to another random point and read one page, then another. Then I put down the armload of books I was holding, turned to the front of the book and read an entire chapter. Finally checked the book out, read it twice, and pushed it to everyone with even a slight interest in maps, mapping, history or well-written books on topics one would not have expected to find interesting.<br /><br />So happy to have an excuse to do so again, years later! :)<br /><br />quinn (having trouble posting with google id today)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-44249833741357216372010-02-02T09:40:43.187+00:002010-02-02T09:40:43.187+00:00Now you see I would have wanted to ask him somethi...Now you see I would have wanted to ask him something else. . . . You see, I can't read a map, and what's more, I can never fold them back properly either..... so I would have asked him to give me a lesson.menopausalmusinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255069917743230560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-28019953574108260002010-02-02T07:01:07.176+00:002010-02-02T07:01:07.176+00:00You should have done - bet he's have loved to ...You should have done - bet he's have loved to tell you.<br /><br />Shall I let you into an odd secret?
