We didn’t go far but it seemed like a world apart, traveling from an isolated corner of Dorset into its most populous area. That led us to Bournemouth (map), a coastal town along the English Channel. There are so many ancient places in the United Kingdom but this is not one of them. It dates […] The post England, Day 6 (Bournemouth) appeared first on Twelve Mile Circle - An Appreciation of Unusual Places.

Ontario, Day 3 (Lake and Mountain)

Now it was time to get serious about seeing some local sights. We got to Ontario without any issues, we had an entire down day, and next we needed something fun. Everyone in the family has a different version of fun but I had an idea. But before we started all that I still wanted […] The post Ontario, Day 3 (Lake and Mountain) appeared first on Twelve Mile Circle - An Appreciation of Unusual Places.

Ontario, Day 2 (Downtime)

Well, we made it to Canada and we decided to settle down for our first full day. I promised the family I’d take it easier and try to avoid over-scheduling them for once. But I’m not someone who can ever stop moving entirely so “easier” meant no activities further away than an hour.

Ontario, Day 1 (Choices)

I’ve been to Canada a few times but never for very long. One time when I was a kid, maybe ten years old, we went to Toronto for a couple of days.

However, every trip I’ve done afterwards lasted no […] The post Ontario, Day 1 (Choices) appeared first on Twelve Mile Circle - An Appreciation of Unusual Places.

Taming the Frontier, Part 2

The drive up to Michigan was something I did for myself, and I visited a number of historical and cultural sites along the way. But I took the trip to drive a kid home for the summer and now I had a passenger for the rest of the ride. So I front-loaded most of the […] The post Taming the Frontier, Part 2 appeared first on Twelve Mile Circle - An Appreciation of Unusual Places.

Taming the Frontier, Part 1

I didn’t have a proper vacation in awhile. Then, unexpectedly, I had abundant time on my hands. I also needed to bring a kid home from Michigan State University who just finished the first year of a graduate program. So I planned a delightfully inefficient route through rural eastern Ohio to build my County Counting […] The post Taming the Frontier, Part 1 appeared first on Twelve Mile Circle - An Appreciation of Unusual Places.

Quick Project: Queensland Rail Network Diagram

Okay, as promised in the previous post, here’s my version of the Queensland passenger rail network as a diagram. As is usual for these redesigns, I’ve only spent a few hours on this – just to show that better design doesn’t necessarily need to take a lot of time. Everything is meant to be simple […]

Submission – Official Map: Queensland Rail Network

Submitted by Bushland Maps, who says: I have noticed that no one has submitted the Queensland Rail network map, so here it is! Sort of… I have attached the link to the web page rather than the image because the legend isn’t on the map, its actually below it on the webpage… That will be […]
