[Citizens of Nowhere] is a timely read for this group (while not necessarily related precisely to maps, but then again it is) -- Fred

I have really been enjoying these posts. I just love maps and live with them though not always by them. In such a changing world, in such a describing world, I feel drawn to plot my self in that landscape around me - on a local scale and worldwide -and at the moment Ecotone functions as a kind of "random world" mapping project. Thanks so much for all those posts. Coup de Vent

In response to these posts, which I've really enjoyed too, Language Hat (a self-described "mapaholic") left this map-related link to [Incoming Signals] at my site today and I'd like to pass it along: --Beth

This is hilarious...what synchronicity! -- Chris

CdeV?...good point about Ecotone. I think this is what I was saying in my post, that the sense of place informs the pretty pictures. I have a very interesting perspective on very tiny pieces of the world as a result of this little blogging community, but somehow I sense that Floyd County might just be the valley over the mountain from here. Stuff like this acts as threads that draws the pieces of the world closer together. And with the second anniversary of 9/11 coming up, it feels like 'tis the season for connection. Bring on the atlas of the noosphere! -- Chris
