Latitude is measuring distance from the equator, so they can be evenly
spaced from equator to pole.  It is longitude that gets closer as you
get nearer to the pole as they all meet at the poles.

great
blue heron as she lifts uncertainly from the brilliant blue of a
mussel-shell beach witnessed only by the brooding, wet spruce....your
passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
