Changes in Latitudes: Photo-chronicling the world by navigating up the globe six degrees at a time.
Starting at the southern tip of civilization, I will begin my epic photo-journey north stopping at every 6° change in latitude along the way to capture local images and also to identify a common link between each six degrees of separation.
Six Degrees of Separation:
The island of Tierra del Fuego, located on the southernmost tip of South America, is known as the uttermost ends of the earth. From here, at what some describe as the end of civilization, I will begin my Dream Assignment. Starting at latitude 54° south I will begin my journey heading north across multiple countries, oceans, and cultures. I will crisscross various longitudes both east and west, but I will always travel in a northward direction with my next destination equal to a distance separated by exactly 6° latitude. At each stop along the way I will photograph a local image and identify an interesting fact linking that current destination with my most recent stop. I will traverse the globe in 66 days to reach my 19th and final destination on the coast of Ireland at latitude 54°north. This Dream Assignment will illustrate that within a latitude range of 6°, no matter how varied the terrain or culture may appear, one can always find a common bond!

The question mark symbols in the summary should actually be the symbol for degrees (as in 6? and 54? ). Hopefully, this can get corrected by technical support :)

Good ideas like yours that are not in the Top 100 are nearly impossible to find. This is unfair as many great ideas are hidden. Those of us in the “Sub-100” should work together to promote the best projects of the Sub-100 so that they can be in the Top 100 and be seen. Please vote for best Sub-100s!
GREAT IDEA!
Wow - someone already had my username. I guess froglegs will work. Good luck on idea!
If you win you will really be chasing your tail. Sounds exhausting...but fun.
Excellent idea
I love this idea! check out mine and Pic it if youd like! Congo here I come...

Cheers to this wonderful idea. Let me know if you need a travel companion
Tenes un buen idea. Buenas suertes.
