🏝️ Unser heutiger #MapMonday ist ein Geheimtipp für alle mit Fernweh:

🧳 Es geht nach Übersee!

📍 Der Ort ist näher als gedacht und ohne Reisepass erreichbar. Der Name kommt aus dem Althochdeutschen und heißt „jenseits des Sees“.

❓ Wie heißt der See?

📍🗺️ #MapMonday: Laufenburg gibt’s doppelt – in 🇩🇪 & 🇨🇭.

Durch den Rhein getrennt, durch eine Brücke verbunden. Einst eine Stadt, bis Napoleon sie teilte. Heute arbeiten beide Seiten kulturell und touristisch eng zusammen. 🤝

A brief look at the derivation of the naming of Hospital Street in Glasgow and hospitals that are not hospitals in the medical sense. Also a little something for #MapMonday

Heute im #MapMonday: Schabernack! 📍

Kein Scherz – den Ort gibt’s wirklich. Habt ihr vielleicht eine Ahnung, wo er zu finden ist?

Viele Wege führen nach Rom. 🏛️ Wisst ihr vielleicht, wo dieses kleine Rom liegt? #MapMonday #LustigeOrtsnamen

Der #MapMonday 🗺️ führt uns nach #Schwarzkollm, was durch die #Krabat-Sage bekannt ist. Das Kulturzentrum Krabat-Mühle ist ein Nachbau der „Schwarzen Mühle“ und ein Zentrum für sorbische Kultur. Bekannt aus Otfried Preußlers Buch „Krabat“ 📚 und dem gleichnamigen Film. 🎥

☘️ Happy #StPatricksDay! ☘️

St. Patrick machte das dreiblättrige #Kleeblatt zum Wahrzeichen Irlands.

Und jetzt kommts: In 🇩🇪 heißt die ursprüngliche Form von Autobahnkreuzen Kleeblatt. 🚗🍀

Wir zeigen wir euch vier berühmt-berüchtigte – erkennt ihr sie❓

For this #mapmonday I dived into the map collections of @vuamsterdam and found this peculiar object. A set of aerial photos made by the K.L.M. (= Dutch Royal Airlines) for promotional ends. Questioning whether the drawn aeroplane on the envelope represents reality the friendly staff of Museum #Aviodrome answered me that indeed it does. The picture (2) they sent me confirms that it is a #Fokker C.II plane and this was the method to take aerial photos in the 1920s and 1930s. Amazing!

Envelope from a promotional set of airviews by K.L.M. in 1928. From the Vrije Universiteit map collections.

For #MapMonday here's a Sanborn Map extract showing part of Denise Cross's #OnePlaceStudy of #Granville, Washington County, New York. Denise is focussing on early settlers and residents up to about 1850, with @wikitree.bsky.social at www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:G...

Granville, Washington County One-Place Study.

'Nice things don’t happen in storybooks. 'Or when they do happen, something bad happens next. Because otherwise the story would be boring, and no one would read it.' ~ Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

Is there anyone who has time to read on mondays? I think it's the day I get the least reading time.

Our #OnePlaceStudies blogging and social media prompt🔗 for February is #OnePlaceGeology. Most of the land in Martin White's West Lulworth OPS🔗 in #Dorset sits on chalk from the Cretaceous period. The coast around Durdle Door though is—geologically and visually— spectacularly different! #MapMonday

West Lulworth One-Place Study.
Image: An extract from a geological map showing the various types of bedrock around the village of West Lulworth on the coast of Southern England. A green shading shows that chalk dominates the land and parts of the coastline here, with other, later formations (shaded in purple and in brown) on some of the higher ground inland. The short stretch of coastline south of the village however, in which the famous Lulworth Cove is situated, is geologically far more complex with tightly packed bands of several different types of rock.

This colourful, and rather unknown, map of the Dutch province of Noord-Holland is my #mapmonday pick. It shows spots where the population grew (brownish) and declined (blueish) between 1937 and 1939.

'You belonged in the library, as much as any book.' ~ Margaret Rogerson, Sorcery of Thorns

How I would love to visit the magical libraries from Sorcery of Thorns!
An adventurous, enchanting story, one of my favourite fantasy standalones, and with one of the best side characters, Silas 🤍
