looks great rob - just goes to show "Maps are everywhere"... a couple of weeks ago I was at my in-laws and was sitting in a chair looking at the sky, when suddenly I realised that the clouds made a beautiful "upside-down" bumpmap for mountains - didn't have a camera with me though..

Now that is true inspiration, bravo sir! I once got inspired like that from looking at algae floating on a pond.

People come and people go. I walk amongst them, I see their faces; but none see mine. I pass them in the streets but nary a glance is spared my way, for what interest would they have in a Wanderer? Not of this world... Forever Alone... Forever Wandering... LoneWandererD...

RIP Angel "Ingy" Yates - The first inspiration that guided me towards art. You will be missed...
That's a very creative method! I love all the detail in there too. I want a beach house on the eastern shore! :p
Some labels, rhumb lines and a compass rose...

I've never thought of doing compass lines in different colours....that looks really nice Rob!
I've found your next project RobA! A City map based on this photo.

Major urban metropolis in that first one!
Added a border. Not just need a legend in the right hand side ocean and I'll call this done as a WIP.

nice map... the border seems a little on the thin side though... Diablo font?
