A cynic's view of Europe - Maps from a different perspective!

Ever since my friend Alan Storey helped to open my eyes to the distortion of geography that we have lived with for centuries I have loved looking at 'alternative' representations of the world. I say that our maps are distorted, because as you'll see in this post of mine they are shaped by political and economic powers, rather then true geographic land mass.

Anyway, this was a rather cynical, yet thought provoking perspective on Europe.... it comes from boingboing...

ArtWerk drew this map of Europe, titled "Where I Live." Be sure to read the lively debate over at Flickr, both in the annotated notes and the comments.
