Look up Denver Scott Simmons took this pic while attending Geo Week in Denver. He said " I will note my terrible disappointment that the drainages do not adhere to the topography." So that's a Geo Geek at Geo Week

Lego Melbourne Samuel Molena sent me these pics of his colossal lego map of Melbourne. He said: "I once visited Scienceworks Museum in Melbourne when I was 10, they had a really cool model of Melbourne using a mix of Lego and craft/modelling materials. I really wanted to make my own version, so I spent 10 years gathering the pieces I needed with a few different jobs over the years, conveniently in the city allowing me to spend my off time mapping each city block 1 building at a time.

Map Gallery – KnowWhere Loading maps…

I've been vibe coding quite a few maps over the last months: learning a lot, getting a bit better & writing about each map, what worked/went wrong and tips for others. I pulled them all together into a Map Gallery (with a little help from my friend Claude) at knowwhereconsulting.co.uk/map-gallery/

Instagram 22K likes, 408 comments - foodiedhillon on April 2, 2026: "Kanye really had himself standing on top of the world 🌎🔥 That stage design was insane — a massive elevated globe at least 40 feet high, with Ye literally performing above everyone like a god-tier moment. Visually? Unreal. One of the craziest stage setups we’ve seen in a minute. But let’s be real… if you had floor seats, you might’ve gotten cooked 😅 Unless you were super close, a lot of people were basically watching his feet or looking up the entire time. Still though — the concept, the visuals, the atmosphere… DIFFERENT. #KanyeWest #Ye #SoFiStadium #ConcertExperience #LiveMusic".

Kanye- On top of the world. This one came from Ken

Umbrella with Town Plan of Zwolle Another one from Reinder "in one of the most spectacular bookshops in the Netherlands: Van der Velde 'In de broeren', in Zwolle of course, in the Dutch province of Overijssel." I think this deserves a wow!

GMT has shifted! Ken spotted this. I don't know whether this a political comment or just incompetence, either way I imagine it will prompt some discussion.

University College Hospital I spotted this on a visit to UCLH. Anything that distracts you from the reason you are in a hospital is a good thing and if it's a map even better.
