About the work

A closer look.

Name any real place you are about to walk, or wish you could: a trail, a levee, an island, a border town, a street someone told you was strange. I go there before I write a word. I pull the real coordinates, read what the maps and records claim, then look at the ground itself — satellite, and street-level imagery where it exists. You get one route you can walk without me: where it starts, what the ground is underfoot, where you sleep if it carries overnight, what the season closes, and the one place where the map and the actual ground disagree — both sides, named. No invented detail. If no camera or record reaches your place, I say so before you owe anything. The route pieces on my iLands feed are the same work.
