This place is special to me because I have watched it transform yet still maintain strong ties to its history during my 13 years living here.  An historic neighborhood in Birmingham, Alabama, Avondale joins the old and the new, with a focus on community.  Avondale has grown from a small settlement clustered around a spring to a thriving entertainment district, spurred by the natural beauty and heritage of Avondale Park.  Local businesses pay tribute to Miss Fancy, the elephant that lived in the park during its brief stint as a zoo. They also celebrate the former occupants of their buildings (post office, firehouse, saloon), while poised to craft memorable stories of their own.  The area fosters a community spirit, from casual eateries, watering holes, shops and live music venues, to church cookouts and outreach programs.  Even the ducks contribute to that sense of community, as they swim and hang out together in the park.  I love my neighborhood!

An illustrated map of Dunedin's Warehouse precinct which was once full of industry, especially agriculture and rural commerce. This was the hub of Dunedin's flourishing as a centre for business, shipping, livestock and agriculture during and following the gold rush and the arrival of migrants from Europe, especially Scotland. 
Now the area has been reinvigorated with restaurants, cafes, Tech, Law and local businesses and street art & sculpture. Recently an annual street party has been established with music, performance and tours of the heritage buildings. Also, and quite importantly, this area was once an important landing and fishing spot for local Maori as you can see in the bottom left of the map.

The Obama Nishigumi area is designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, showcasing a picturesque townscape with buildings from the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras.
As you stroll through the area, you’ll come across scattered Jizo halls. These halls enshrine Jizo statues, revered for protecting children and praying for their health and well-being. Among them, you may find unique “Kesho Jizo” (decorated Jizo), adorned with makeup applied by children.

A map of my hometown, Uzice, showing some of the interesting buildings there. I wanted to show the diversity of architecture, ranging from very traditional, oriental buildings up to Yugoslavian brutalism. And we have funny names for all those buildings! Even the MoMa museum had an exhibition and our Hotel was one of the exhibited pieces. We have a Hydropower plant, which is the first electrical plant made according to Tesla's principles of an alternating current in Europe and second in the world, only five years after the first of its kind on the river Niagara in America. Also I've put only one food illustration, our traditional dish called 'Komplet lepinja" that can be only bought in Uzice, and that is one of the things that the Uzice is known for. I hope that this map would spark an interest in you that you find out more about this city.

This place is special to me because it is where I studied and now spend most of my free time. We do not have many green or open spaces in Beirut but the American University neighborhood has it all: a botanical garden –which is also a cat haven, heritage buildings, an archeological museum, art galleries, excellent restaurants and coffee shops, a weekly farmers’ market and, last but not least, the seaside cornice – a beautiful promenade that leads to the iconic Rauche rocks site. One never gets bored in this area, never!

Color on paper. Bound in folding form and consisting of two sections, left and right, it is thought to have been drawn in the late Edo era.
A total of 585 names of temples and other buildings have been included in rectangular frames beside each feature. 
On the right side of the entrance to Okunoin over Ichinohashi, it is possible to see a temple consisting of 43 buildings for sanmaihijiri (lay clerics responsible for tending to cremations, burials and graves) referred to as taninomono (people of the valley).
The illustration contains 73 human figures, including monks, terazamurai (temple samurai) and pilgrims. (Reference: Ishihara, Yukie. Kōyasan no Zu - Jiinmei to Egakareta Jinbutsu - [Map of Koyasan - the place names and people depicted -] in the Koyasan University Library Bulletin, number 1.)

Trier is over 2,000 years old – making it the oldest city in Germany with an astonishing 8 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. There is a lot to see in downtown Trier with traces of the Roman times almost everywhere you look. The city is often referred to as the “Rome of the North” because it served as the key city of the Roman northern territories. There are many beautiful vineyards located around Trier which are perfect for taking walks. But there’s plenty of nature inside the city of Trier as well. Old trees rise among the historic buildings, casting welcome shade in the summertime. Trier has a special atmosphere all of its own. It is an ancient city but young at heart.

Richmond upon Thames is like a village within London. I live nearby and regularly walk my dog in Richmond Park and along the river (that's me and him on the map!) The novelty of having deer roaming free so close to central London never wears off. If you walk into Richmond from the park you'll find real cows grazing on Petersham Meadows and stunning views of the River Thames. There is something interesting to see every step of the way, from beautiful buildings, lovely cafés and restaurants, interesting little independent shops in The Lanes, as well as two theatres and a cricket green. You can while away the day watching boats go past on the river. I'd recommend it to anyone visiting London!!

The Tokugawa Shogunate ordered Feudal Clans to prepare the Shoho Shiro Ezu (map of castle town) in the first year of Shoho (1644). These illustrated maps include military information such as buildings in castle compounds, height of stone walls, width and depth of moats, as well as plans of castle towns, location and features of mountains and rivers are shown precisely and accurately. Each clan submitted the Ezu within several years after received order from the Tokugawa Shogunate. The Shogunate kept these Ezu in Momijiyama Bunko (library). Inventory books of the library recorded 131 Ezu in "Enlarged Official Inventory Book" at the end of Edo period. Presently, National Archives of Japan has 63 shoho Shiro Ezu. These Ezu are designated as National Important Cutural Properties in the 61st year of Showa (1986).

Let's visit the World Heritage Site of the Ancient Capital of Nara
Nara Park is one of Japan's most famous tourist attractions, where history and nature are in harmony. The vast site is dotted with many temples and historical sites that are cultural heritage from the Nara period, and is particularly famous for its coexistence with deer. Historical buildings, Buddhist statues and beautiful gardens dating back to the Nara period attract visitors. Visitors can also enjoy the beautiful nature in each of the four seasons, with cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in autumn creating a magnificent scene. Walking along the walking paths in Nara Park, you can feel the unique atmosphere of the ancient capital.

*The deer in Nara Park are herbivores and eat grass and nuts. Deer crackers are a safe snack for them. Do not feed them sweets, vegetables or paper as they will upset their stomachs.
