Monday thoughts…

OK, I have to admit that I am relieved from the encouraging comments I received from my last post (thank you guys). I feared that I would be told off. I thought that some of you would tell me that I am being ridiculous, over worrying and that you knew from the beginning of your relationship that you wanted to live with the person you are with…

Anyway, on a different subject, I played a bit with it and I changed the template of my blog. It’s not something amazing or final but I like it for now. Since my early studies, I’ve always been interested in cartography. I simply love old Maps. I find that they are a form of art and expression of the person designing them. It’s so amazing to study the history of the world through maps. OK, I can talk about this a lot, so I’ll just not torture you…

Simply take a look at that Vermeer’s painting from 1666 that includes a real map of the Netherlands from 1636 published by Visscher:
