On the map…

I love maps, I always have - a visual language, a way of understanding how pieces you may know connect through places you don’t…

Flat, colourful drawings, not just lines on a page but when interpreted you can see the landscape, the valleys, trees, rivers and man made elements together. In the days before satellite imagery being widely available via Google, a map was a story teller, the reader painting their own picture.

This map is a work of fiction and folly. A means to stitch disparate yet connected places together with some meaning whilst largely being good fun to create. See if you can spot the various layouts I’ve created already (and a few more you won’t spot, for future ideas) - there are three scenes here that have already graced the blog - and Cwmbach should (!!) be next.

I’m off to day dream about future model railways, read some books and enjoy this coffee before it goes cold. Until next time, more soon..,
