We're just back from none of the places on these particular maps. We were in Umbria. Under the 38°C rays I had plenty of time to contemplate life, the universe and orange coloured drinks served with salty snacks. In that delightful and alien environment I had a thought: I'm going to start blogging again. Not that I'd actually, really, formally stopped. But I had drifted away, got side-lined, became distracted. By life and children and work.
We came back with a bunch of stuff worth capturing in the digital form so I'll get it up here over the next week or so.
These maps are from a German atlas, from 1958, that I picked up a little while back and have leafed through during occasional spare moments. I think the photos are a bit dodgy because I just used my phone but it's really the colours and diverse cartographic styles that interest me most and the images capture those details reasonably well.
Welcome back... from another who drifted away, got side-lined and became distracted. In my case, by cycling. But that bit back.

Good to hear you're blogging again - and a very handsome first post at that. DWx

Hi David, How are you? It's been so long.
And thank you Daniel, very kind of you.
