“To a man with imagination, a map is a window to adventure.”   Francis Chichester

Australia Map Journal... tracking my trails & tales

For me, a map is a window to distant horizons beckoning from across the wondrous diversity of landscapes that rise and fall across the world.

I love landscape ~ Hewn by climate over eons of time this global environmental sculpture appears, from afar, like a crazy patchwork made up of regional colours and forms all  sewn together by waterways and dry creek beds; yet close up, the transgression from one locale to another feels more seamless as the decorative vegetation imperceptibly  transpires through hues and tints of lush verdant green to dry spiky ochres.

And I love maps ~ Which via lines and symbols snapshot entire landscapes so succinctly onto a single 2D sheet.

Unfolding a map of an area previously visited I’m immediately drawn back, momentarily transposed, to places and times past; and as fingers fall upon familiar place-names memories of valley vistas and towering ranges are brought vividly back to life.

Maps are navigational, evoke nostalgia and flaunt far away places that tempt!

My blog is about these loves ~ vignettes of landscape with its glorious flora and fauna, maps, and jotting about journeys -

Please join me on this journey :)
