Tracing India's presidential estate

Pubblicatu di PlaneMad lu 10 July 2015 n English

We have a pretty impressive house for the president compared to your average head of state - a 340 room palace in a 320 acre estate with some amazing gardens, which I had a chance to visit on a sweaty afternoon a few months ago.

The estate was not looking too impressive on the map. screenshot 2015-07-10 15 16 22

Spent close to an hour this afternoon to improve my drawing skills and its looking a lot better now: screenshot 2015-07-10 15 16 22

Beautiful work. The irony of drawing the Presidential palace whose former head - Dr Abdul Kalam who was opposed to mapping activities, makes it sweeter still. :)

Thanks! Never knew Dr APJ was against mapping, do you have any particular references for this?

Incidentally found this speech where he encourages the youth of the country to get involved in neighborhood mapping :)
