#051 Mapping my Town

D101 Task of the day

Today, we will discover the world of maps. Two-dimensional ways for representing our relationships with the world.
First: search for references of maps related to your city concentrating your attention on one particular place.
Second: go for a walk in your city (town / village / commune) mapping the places which are the most meaningful to you (in the way you consider most appropriate).
Third: share with us your favourite map (the reference you found) and a picture of your own map you made.
Something to remember: a map always has a legend. Which symbols will you choose?



Very old map anno 1866


Mapping my favorite places
In 2013 my town, Weert, was awarded the title greenest (environmental friendly) city in Europe.
Almost every day I walk with my dog in one of these beautiful green surroundings of my city. 
In the map you can see the areas I like and visit most. 


The colored hearts form the legend. 
The colors shows from top to bottom my most favorite places in descending order.
