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

Devil’s Gambit Devil's Gambit is a good historical murder mystery with a twist - the lead character. Set in 1540 London, the novel drops you right into the drama of Henry VIII's court just before his marriage to Anne of Cleves. The best part is Will Somers, the King's jester. Waterson makes him a…

Subtle Map 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…

Portsmouth Harbour 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…

Dead by Monday Dead by Monday is a fast-paced, conspiracy-driven political thriller that shows promise initially but struggles to maintain its footing as the plot escalates. C.R. Foster throws college student Kathryn Benton—fresh from a revenge killing—into a deep, dark political plot, forcing her…

Ubiquitous Maps 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…

No Havertz, Gyokeres, Jesus, Martinelli, Madueke, Odegaard or Zubimendi tonight. Winning in Prague will need all of our #strengthindepth #arsenal #afc #coyr #coyg Let’s do this!!

Glass Houses I’ve been happily lost in Louise Penny’s world of Armand Gamache lately, and Glass Houses stands as one of the finest jewels in the entire series. Few writers can create such an enveloping sense of place — the fireside comfort of Three Pines, the warmth of its people — and then pierce…

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

I have 2 tickets for the Secret Maps exhibition at the British Library on 6/11 at 3pm events.bl.uk/exhibitions/... I can’t use the tickets now, anyone want them? DM me

Halloween at Kenwood 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

Murder at the Hotel Orient Wow — Murder at the Hotel Orient completely took me by surprise. At first, I thought Alessandra Ranelli’s lush, almost gothic prose might be a bit too much, but within a few chapters I was absolutely hooked. The decadence of the setting — Vienna’s most infamous love…

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

As the left becomes more and more blatantly antisemitic as it aligns itself with so called anti-zionists I find myself drifting from the centre to a place I thought I'd never be.

Yokohama Landmark Tower 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

Neanderthals like Dan smith and ryan Shawcross took careers from some of our best and brightest young players while pundits called us soft. They can all, respectfully, go fuck themselves now with their pantomime pining for dainty, flowing football.

Remember when they’d break our players’ legs & then say “Arsenal don’t like it up ‘em”? Well now we’re the toughest fuckers in the league. We stand up to any physical challenge & dominate the opposition in both boxes. Let them fucking cry about it. Just makes this even sweeter

Miller Lite Ken spotted this carton of beer in his local supermarket.

The Library of List Maps is a brilliant book and deserves the slightly longer conversation I had with James thegeomob.com/podcast/epis... Original post: mapstodon.space/@geomob/1154...

Matilda, the Musical 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…

Mammoth Mountain 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.

Hey folks, welcome @vcraciunescu.bsky.social to here, if you do open geo you will want to follow Vasile

London Underground 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…

Kyoto Hotel Maps 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…

The world in Wire Another one from Cartonaut, does anyone know who the artist is?

Laguna Nimez 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

Fascinating conversation with James Original post: mapstodon.space/@geomob/1154...

Wines of Italy Dave Smith spotted this - "For some reason, I find the lack of surrounding landmasses and slight rotation even more disorienting here than I would expect #mapsinthewild (also #toiletart)"

Puffing Billy Railway Andrew Tyrrell shared these pics, he said "Christmas Eve #MapsInTheWild on the Puffing Billy Railway in Melbourne. I wandered across this a few times and didn’t give it much thought. Then I realised it’s a minimalist map of the railway, just marking the line and the stations.…

We need to have a conversation about this extremely wrong (but pervasive) notion that "getting the ball" somehow erases what would otherwise be a foul. That is not the Law. It has never been the Law.

Map Maker Sauvignon Blanc Ken didn't think this was a map in the wild because there's no map but there is a globe thingy os I reckon it qualifies. He said "That moment when the label on a bottle of wine does its job and makes the sale.", what I would call a no brainer.

Carto Carpet Following on from yesterday's curtains here are some pics Reinder sent of the carpets in the Inntel Hotel in Utrecht. A bit dizzying but for lovers of maps in the wild, quite a treat.

A Trick of the Light Louise Penny once again proves why she’s a master of character-driven mystery in A Trick of the Light. The story opens with haunting beauty — a woman found dead among a bed of flowers, her neck broken, her past as mysterious as her death. As Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and…

Carto Curtains Reinder shared these carto curtains from the Inntel Hotel in Utrecht

Where @kennethfield.bsky.social falls short on taste (re Marmite, cartograms etc) he makes up for it with sheer stagecraft. No one does a software demo like he does. @johnnelsonmaps.bsky.social even gets a cameo! A real map legend.

Je pense qu’il bon de ressortir ça ! Représenter les déformations induites par la projection de #Mercator en utilisant un visage c'est bien, mais avec #Macron je trouve ça plus explicite !

Wooden Poland (Maine) Doug Greenfield spotted this hand carved wooden map of Poland, Maine

A very nice drop of red Elizabeth was enjoying this nice Argentinian wine when she noticed the cork.
