David Nuttall said "I haven't been to the beach in a while…. but when I do go…. I am likely to "draw" a map!!!"

I think this came from Ken but if it was someone else who shared it apologies for forgetting!

Javier Jimenez Shaw shared this with us, he said "The equator is a bit off"

Ken said "New airline launch. "What shall we put on the tail"…"umm, a globe""

Ken spotted this on X (didn't think I knew anyone who was still there). Crystal Palace fans displayed this massive banner plotting their route to the final of the UEFA Conference League. Maps and football, what's not to like? Well maybe the invasion type graphics!

Just in case you didn't know where it comes from the distillers of Longitude 77 put a map on the label. Via Elizabeth

L'Imaginere shared this map of streets on the pavement in Ath, somewhere to the east of Lille. You can find it on an OSM project called "A Map of Maps" which says "On this map you can find all maps OpenStreetMap knows - typically a big map on an information board showing the area, city or region, e.g. a tourist map on the back of a billboard, a map of a nature reserve, a map of cycling networks in the region, ...). If a map is missing, you can easily map this map on OpenStreetMap." What a great project!

David Sherren sent us this pic which he took in The Old Customs House, Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth. He said "Anyone who is familiar with Portsmouth Harbour will know that it is not actually joined to Gosport by a land bridge, as appears to be the case on this decorative chart!" I have to confess I am not familiar with Portsmouth Harbour but now I want to go there to view the map and check its lack of veracity.

Walter Schwartz sent us this pic from his trip to Nepal, he said "We visited a modest 24-student school for ages 3 to 11 in a small village outside the mountain town of Lumle, Nepal. The principal’s office features a desk with a world map desk pad and a display globe. The value of maps in education is ubiquitous." We agree with Walter hence the title of this Map in the World.

Reinder shared this pic with us - "at Van Piere bookshop in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Oh - and how about the 'map bag' ...? 

Keith Hodgson sent us this pic of Glenshiels Chocolate along with this lovely message: "Greetings Friends of maps On a recent camping holiday in Scotland, we stayed at Glenshiels. A local small firm made chocolate with an outlet and cafe attached to the small building that housed the works. Being a lover of good, dark chocolate, several bars were bought. Once eaten, the inside of the packaging revealed a bonus in the form of a map of the area.

Mark Iliffe is running the New York marathon today. Here he is with his participant number. If you are an armchair marathon follower, look out for him. Good luck Mark

Reinder spotted this plan at the municipal archives in The Hague: in English it says 'Map of the good city' Den Haag. 

Kenwood is a stately home and park near to where I live. They have a Halloween event on at the moment with an array of displays and activities around the park. This isn't normally a graveyard

We love a floor map and Ken spotted this beauty with flight routes at Salt Lake City Airport

Another floor map, this time from Kenneth Wong "a giant map of Yokohama on Yokohama Landmark Tower’s observation deck An enormous map spreading out the floor is always a cool thing to me" - I agree

Ken spotted this carton of beer in his local supermarket.

Clare spotted this Mobile Library Map when rewatching Matilda the Musical. "Just rewatched Matilda the Musical and spotted the mapinside the Mobile Library when Matilda rushes out. It was acquired on pinboards from a reuse site - from the Studios!!Amazing to think of all the art created for film and TV that may only get 0.1s on screen"

Ken shared this abstract Mammoth mountain ski trail map - $125 seems a fair price but you couldn't really take it on the slopes with you.

I spotted this piece by Stephen Graham in a local gallery. I’m not sure that I’d like to have it hanging in my home but then I feel out of love with pop art nearly fifty years ago! I do like the way my photo picks up the old buildings reflected in the gallery window, almost the counterpoint.

Kenneth Wong stayed in Kyoto last year and shared these maps from two different hotels. He commented "Two hostels I stayed in Kyoto last Nov. Both have a gigantic city map hung near reception. Comparing the differences of their approaches to map the town and show the tourist spots would be a great cartography article" I am a R-Star fan.

Another one from Cartonaut, does anyone know who the artist is?

Charles Robbins shared this

Robert Simmon sent s these pics from his trip to Chile and Argentina - a lovely hand=-ainted map of the Laguna Nimez Nature Reserve in El Calafate, Argentina, paired with a small multiples chart showing the local birds. www.lagunanimez.com
