Listening to one of the great podcasts out there, "This American Life," I was excited to find this tiny Halloween gem.In the podcast of show 110 entitled "Mapping" the show interviewed cartographer Denis Wood who has been making various maps of his neighborhood of Boylan Heights in Raleigh, North Carolina. Denis has made maps of streetlight pools of light, man hole covers, and most importantly to us Halloween Addicts: jack o' lanterns.
It's an ingenious, if obsessive compulsive map: In 1982 he took an individual picture of the lit carved pumpkin on each porch, and posted it on the map at the location of each house. Makes for a creepy picture seeing the glowing faces on the black background.
Check out the This American Life podcast HERE and HERE's a link to the Flickr page of some of the other maps.
