This is spectacular.

It’s Benoit Vieuble’s globe chandelier.

It’s practically breathtaking. I am often stupefied by any type of cartographic art. Maps and globes are dazzling.

Couldn’t you stare at it for hours? They’re such tiny renderings of our planet – our tremendous planet, with vast oceans, places I’ve never seen, cultures and environments I probably will never have the chance to visit.

It’s good to feel just a little small sometimes.
