Connected World - Version #2 (March 2016)
Bit more playing with openflights data and orthographic projections.Perhaps haven't quite got the viewing angle in the best place but not bad for a first effort. Again, not exactly original, but I still think an effective image. Really like the raster topography colourisation.
Again shows all (or many) of the worlds flight paths; lighter colours = longer flights, darker colours = shorter flights. Backdrop is a NASA topography image.
Thanks to the internet (mainly stack exchange this time) for guiding me through the process and the wonderful community who have built QGis - truly brilliant bit of kit (and considering what we use at work amazing that it is free!).
I realise this isn't for everyone, but it keeps me out of trouble and I think its fun.
