Fantasy Map: Chicago El Overlaid On New York City
A bit of whimsy for you today from Reddit, brought to my attention by Twitter user @GordonWerner. The El has been flipped both horizontally and vertically, then rotated to fit Manhattan’s street grid, but the scaling is totally accurate. It looks like The Loop is placed in the area directly below Central Park. A few things from this: it’s actually kind of scary how well this fits; and it’s astounding just how dense the New York subway’s lines really are (shown here in white).

Love this. Very relevant to my life / immediate experiences / wandering thoughts.
According to this map, I would live somewhere in South East Queens or North Brooklyn!

Extraordinary pictures show America as it has never been seen before. These stunning CGI images reveal what the nation looks like from the skies, and how its transport and communication infrastructures work to power the vast nation on a daily basis. Everything from the routes taken by Manhattan pizza delivery drivers on a Friday night to Domino’s Pizza truck movement across the country are replicated in breathtaking detail.
Breathtaking! The bike-pizza-delivery-path map of Manhattan is particularly cool.

The Histomap by John Sparks, 1931, depicts the ebb and flow of world powers from antiquity to today, part of a visual history of the timeline.
Actually got to page through Cartographies of Time: A History of the Timeline recently. Really really beautiful stuff.

Scientists by Tomas Muller
With the intention of depicting science as the true adventure and worthy pursuit it is, Tomas created this series as a promotion for the Charles University’s Faculty of Science in Prague. These Titans of ginormous stature are each a visual representation of an area of science: biology, geography, chemistry, and geology. I’ll let you figure out which Titan is which, after all, you should already know this stuff. But before you ask: the Titan representing the science of pizzamaking was, sadly, omitted.
So so beautiful.

Alsace-Lorraine used to be Prussian Territory
and Liechtenstein used to be one of the States of Prussia
In Himaruya’s blog, Prussia used to demand France to give back Alsace-Lorraine
(But I liked it because Lorraine is my first name and there’s a state called Lorraine which used to be with Prussia, but now is part of France )24 August, 2011
