topography

I like the 'quilted' look of this map of Germany and the fact that there is no other English.  It's always interesting to see how other countries are spelled in different languages.

Another topographic map, this one showing the directions the landscape takes (makes me think of seeing the bent trees from the prevailing winds) following the Mid-Atlantic Ridge which divides the county into the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate

    Both are beautiful. I would like to get a postcard from Iceland.

    topographic maps are the best to get the idea of a place. However, the look of the German map, yes, it is very appealing.

    See here my maps of Finland.

    The German map looks very tactile, cleverly done. I agree the Iceland map does look as though it is being buffeted by the winds and on the move like a large cloud.
