SCHMAP!


Ever heard of Schmap? Me either, until an editor contacted me via Flickr saying that one of my Rome photos had been short-listed for inclusion in this online map of the world. A week or two later I got an email saying that I’d made the guide, but when I went looked at the listing for Via dei Pettinari, the little pointer thingy was on a different street a block away. Oh well. The response to my correction email was appreciative, and we’ll see if Schmap sorts this out.

The above photo was taken by the Golden Gate Bridge. There are WWII gun placements/bunkers on each side of the entrance to the bay. This one is on the Marin Headlands side. Someone very fond of the word ‘ribety’ has put a variety of tags up there, and this metal ring got in the way.
