Photo Friday: Maps

I must have 50 pictures of Everest studying various maps on our travels. It must be so disorienting as a kid to fly to a new place and have no idea where anything is or how things work, and yet our kids are so determined to make sense of it all. I just love that.

What is Photo Friday?

  • Post a travel photo on your site. It can be about any topic, as long as it is G-rated.
  • The focus of the post should be on your photo.
  • You don't need to be a professional photographer (I'm not), but do showcase your best work, and make it big enough to see well!
  • It's nice to include a few sentences about the photo, but it is not required.
  • Link back here so that your readers can see all the other great Photo Friday posts.

        We have many of those, too. But the images that make me smile the most are my eldest, who always studies the airplane card in the seat back.

        Both my kids are fascinated with maps. We turned it into the main design element in my 11-year old's bedroom. Pieces of maps are decoupaged on lampshades, swtich plates, photo frames, etc.!

        I think I have that same photo of Tommy with the London Tube map!

        Children are fearless and want to learn and explore. Maps may seem to be confusing to them but I really think they start to pick it up the more and more they view them. Plus it keeps them busy.

        Mine studies maps with great interest also - copying Mummy and Papa. When at home the map of the 100 Acre Wood in the Winnie the Pooh book will suffice. She also likes the safety card in the airline but finds it disturbing when the people don't have faces...
