My Final Mapping Project.

Hey guys!
So, this year in school I took World Geography. I had to draw various maps of the world, and I had to label them and learn the (basic) history of many countries/continents.
So, as a final project for the year, I had to draw a map of the world (mostly from memory.) Here is a picture. :) I'd guess about 85% percent of this is done by memory. :-)
You may or may not be able to tell, but in each of the pictures is something characteristic of each country/continent. It took me several days to complete. Many of these little pictures are some of the "Seven Wonders of the World". The leaning tower of Pisa, Italy; the Great Barrier Reef, Australia; Mammoth Cave, KY;  bag-pipes in Scotland; Victoria Falls in Africa (world's largest waterfall); the Chinese Dragon Festivals in China; the Dome of the Rock, Jerusalem; the Aurora in the Northern Hemisphere (the Northern Lights); Iceland and the Polar Regions; and The Amazon River/Rainforest.

** My brush-strokes aren't even, as the paint dried too quick to smooth it out very well...so I just say it's made to show the current....which, it kinda does, if you dont look at/think too hard about it.. ;-) *winks*
