Description
This was the most amazing globe I've ever seen. We found it in a park near the Shedd Aquarium (which we never did see!!) and it fascinated me. It's a huge ball of brass, I think, but what I loved were the objects that identified a certain part of the world. I got most of them, but there were a couple that stumped me--of course someone else knew and we got it all figured out. A great way to teach geography!!! Oh yeah, it also rotates, which just made it all the more intriguing!!

I remember that globe! It was a lot of fun! That whole day was amazing with everyone there. As for this picture, it's absolutely fantastic! I remember us all looking over that globe, looking at various landmarks and enjoying the warm day. that was one of the few sunny days, by the way! Perfect. This picture is amazing and it brings back so many memories! Super work as always!

I was dismayed at the total lack of identifiers in the southern hemisphere! They couldn't manage an elephant or a kangaroo? Victoria Falls? Ayers Rock? The Andes, for pity's sake? Aside from that, I loved the globe, and got ... (let me count) ... forty shots of it myself! LOL! I love this perspective, and you've really brought out the colors. Wonderful image!

LOL @ Tara... We as "Southerns" often find that many, many "Northerners" are very uninformed and ignorant of our existance down South. In this day and age we still have educated folks in the US asking my secondees if we have lions and elephants roaming the streets... And that is the truth!!! Anyway - wonderful image with great coloring! Perfect in every way! Well done Marilyn! :)

Great pic...think I've got everything identified with the exception of the second item from the bottom...over the southern part of Central America...sort of looks like part of a banana peel with a triangle on top:)

I LOVE the post work you did on this. I took a few of this but I was busy grabbing shots of you guys while you were preoccupied. Next time you're in Chicago, we hit the Shedd. I haven't been there since junior high, It was cool then and I bet it's cooler now! Awesome job!

I think that it is a cool idea and maybe they just need ideas and sponsors for additional icons. Great find and capture. Dana

Ah yes, I remember this rather curious globe, strangely devoid of most of the Southern Hemisphere and with all those odd " regional " doo-dads adding surface excitement. As I recall I was still trying to get my coffee mojo going and once again gasping at the monstrosity they turned neighbouring Soldier Field into when they grafted those awful flying saucer sky boxes on to the top of it. A very nice capture that nailed the perfect instant when the morning sun illuminated the thing on its rotation. Lovely!

Very nice find. Can you just turn it just a little so I can see whats cooking with our volcano? Love it! Aloha
