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.
