On my commute, I saw many fallen ginkgo leaves, whose golden hue was incredibly beautiful. I collected some and used their fan-shaped form to draw two maps of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, using orthographic projection, decorated with labels in Gothic style font.

This map is selected to be featured on cover page of Cartographic Perspectives, Volume 105 (2025, in progress).
