Comment on Geographical Heroes by Andy Turner

Stan Openshaw (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Openshaw) and Danny Dorling (http://www.dannydorling.org/) are two of my Geographical Heroes. They are not really known for their exploration in the physical sense. But Stan was given a flag once that may have flown at both the North and South pole or were at least taken to both the Arctic and Antarctic by a Hal Lister (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Lister). A picture of me and that flag as we went exploring not so long ago can hopefully be viewed via the following URL:

Comment on Geography with Tintin: Exploration through comics by geocode

Still having the entire collection of Tintin adventures from my childhood, I periodically re-read a story or two. However, this is the first time I’ve thought of the stories as lessons in geography per se. I wonder if my early exposure to Tintin fed my desire to be a geographer…..

I’ve got a little sidetracked with other things, but it is still on my to do list. I’ve got all the comics ready and waiting. There’ll be posts on here when I get around to it. What kind’s of things have you been doing so far?

Well please do. I’m homeschooling my son and we’ve been working through the Geography of Tintin for a little while before I came across your blog. Would love to see your ideas.

Thanks. From what I understand the style is Manueline (named after the king): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manueline
I’ve seen similar kinds of designs on other Portuguese cathedrals too.

Beautiful photos! I don’t know a lot about Spanish and Portuguese architecture and embellishment. Is there a term for this sort of ornate, neo-Gothical decorative style?
