As much fun as it can be wandering around in an unfamiliar place, sometimes it’s very comforting to find a map or a sign confirming your position and helping you get re-oriented. I sometimes find maps a little confusing, but I really love those that helpfully point out my exact position for me. In looking through my archives for these types of images, I realized I don’t shoot nearly enough photos of this type of sign; from now on I plan to more faithfully hunt them down.
