That I can just about cope with, it's the Peters projection that I just can't get me head around. And turning a Peters projection upside down really is confusing!
I've never really been able to come to terms with Peters Projection or some of the other 'flattening' maps which have tried to portray the countries in a more 'rational' perspective.
I was going to use McArthur's Universal Corrective but I decided the copyright issue made it a no-no.
We may be apart but when I look at the sky and remember that we are standing on the same earth, looking at the same moon, somehow you don't seem so far away after all.
Life
Life isn't about dawdling to the grave, arriving safely in an attractive, wrinkle-free body but rather an adventure that ends skidding in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, totally worn out, screaming "Yee-ha. What a ride!!"
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain. (With thanks to shabby girl of A Travelling Fish )

Like a Godwit I migrate. I live in New Zealand during the Southern Hemisphere's Summer and I live in Scotland's Outer Hebrides in the Northern Hemisphere's Summer (See Eagleton Notes). In both places I also live in Blogland which, for me, is as real a life as any other.

ReplyDeleteahh, McArthur's Universal Corrective. It's a perfectly valid map but it hasn't enjoyed universal acceptance..!
