My Dream Map

Today's, well last night's actually Spoon Challenge Prompt was Map Legend. I found this one quite hard to grasp. My favourite maps are from Tolkien, Dragonlance, The Belgariad and a Game of Thrones. So I've bent the rules a bit here, although I will draw a map of my own making some other time with a 'legend' as they call it, which I think is the same as a key. I wanted to draw the most amazing beautiful map there is. So here is my dream map.

Water colour pencils and felt tip pens

You may have to click the image to see what I've done here (haha). My dream map is Earth, I actually got quite emotional doing this one. Let me tell you why Earth. This planet is beautiful, there are so many places and things I want to see, the Northern Light's in Norway, Mount. Fuji, Thailand, Botswana, India, The Pyramids, China, the Lake and Peak Districts in England, Ireland, New York, Peru, oh so many amazing places I need to see. In my dreams however, the Earth is one, one big country with no war, no religion, were people do not go hungry and children are loved and animals are free. The only symbols needed on my map are peace and love. So I leave today's post with the words of the wonderful John Lennon:

Imagine there is no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky

Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too

Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You, you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will live as 
one
