"It is not down in any map; true places never are." - Herman Melville

A quick upload and a 2minutemacro today and I'm off to the airport! I'll try to keep up with Flickr while I'm away but if I fall behind, I'll play catch up when I get back!
Warmer weather and no snow, here I come!!
Hope everyone is having a great day!

One and Seven WTC,a NYC subway map,and a train's handrail. I'm back here on my original page. I figured how to get back.Sorry about the runaround..I ran around too :-) You can comment here from now on.Thank you for your patience.Your viewership is much appreciated!
The Sun's axis of rotation varies in relation to the solar North pole over the course of a year. Interesting article in Sky at Night magazine about using freeware programs "Helio" and "Tilting Sun" to measure the tilt and overlay a grid for any solar image taken at a particular time. 0-180 line is true North-South and on the 30th September 2017, the axial tilt (P0) was 25,93 degrees.
There is also variation on the forward tilt of the Sun over the year. You can see more grid lines at the North Pole than the South in this instance. The angle of tilt is given as B0 and varies between plus and minus 7 degrees over the year.
The article also quoted the Mount Wilson Solar Seeing Scale - there was good seeing on the day this image was taken - probably a 4:
4: Sun is sharp for more time than it is fuzzy. Solar granulations visible for most of the time. Limb motion and resolution are in the 1-2 arcsecond range.

TPE class 68 locos 68 032 'Destroyer', on the left, and 68 024 'Centaur' sit in the sun at Scarborough. Visible on the right is a lovely old tiled map of the North Eastern Railway.
The class 68s will soon be entering service on Trans Pennine Express services to York, Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool.
First attempt at a disc-to-heart conformal mapping (e-marmotte kind of asked for it).

Finally finished with school so now I have time to go out.
I'm just trying out some manual tone mapping as an alternative to the usual boring HDR stuff... I like it... it takes considerably longer. However, it is much more flexible!! I'm not quite down with the technique yet unfortunately.

One of the most compelling sights in Jaipur, India is the Jantar Mantar, a Unesco world heritage site. Completed in 1734 by prince Jai Singh II, the founder of the city, it is an astrological observatory. The structures, like the one pictured, are used as instruments to map the heavens, and the world's largest sundial is part of the complex. Photo by Dave.
Nos intoxicamos siempre con el color, con las palabras que hablan del color, y con el sol que hace brillante a los colores.

Who shares their images with the world? This map of Flickr activity around the globe starts to give us an answer.
When they're not mapping zombies, Mark Graham and the team at the Oxford Internet Institute, are undertaking even more serious research into the state of the internet - this map is part of that work.
Using Flickr's API, they mapped every geotagged picture on Flickr by downloading the count of photographs in every 0.5 x 0.5 degree latitude-longitude square on the Earth's surface.
As might be expected, the largest concentrations of photographs can be found in some of the world's most populated places.
Images are an important form of knowledge that allow us to develop understandings about our world. Flickr is the world’s most used and most popular public repository of photographs and currently hosts over five billion images. This map reveals the global geographic distribution of geotagged images on the platform, and thus reveals the density of visual representations and locally depicted knowledge of all places on our planet.

I began to look at items that had personal meaning to me. I focused on my running shoes and became preoccupied with the patterns and designs on the bottom of the shoes. For me this reminded me of the patterns and routes on maps and I combined both ideas in this pieces.
