My favourite images taken by me are at User:Piotrus/Image gallery (but I haven't updated this with many newer pics...). The oldest images uploaded by me are at User:Piotrus/Image gallery/old. Topic galleries are at User:Piotrus/Topic galleries (this does not contain some old pre-commonist galleries and some small hard-to-categorize photo series). Automated Commonist uploads and some hard-to-categorize stuff is at User:Piotrus/gallery. Photos of myself are at User:Piotrus/Photos of Piotrus.

One of the things I'd like to to is to categorize images due to historical period they depict. I am now taking care of this category: Category:Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, a subactegory of Category:History of Poland, as well as of categories of cities I live in (Category:Katowice, Category:Pittsburgh).

Picture of the day
This is probably the most important map of Africa produced in the 18th century. Largely based upon the earlier D’Anville map, this map has been enlarged and expanded by Samuel Boulton. Depicts the continent in full with insets of the Gold Coast (or Ivory Coast, or Guinea). This map is unique in that it is a serious attempt to compile all of the accurate scientific knowledge of the African continent available at the time. +/− [en]
