"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!

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).
The original picture is here.
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.

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.
Haystack Rock, Cannon Beach, OR.
This iconic monolithic sea stack is home to nesting birds as well as marine invertebrates. An unusually warm, clear winter this year created excellent sunset colors. This image was shot last January right after sunset. This is a high dynamic range image that was generated by fusing five different high resolution images into a single image using tone mapping software.

Data:
The covers of every issue of Time magazine published from 1923 to summer 2009.
Total number of covers: 4535.
The large percentage of the covers included red borders. We cropped these borders and scaled all images to the same size to allow a user see more clearly the temporal patterns across all covers.
----------------------------
Timescale:
1923-2009.
----------------------------
Mapping:
Time covers appear in order of publication (i.e., from 1923 to 2009), arranged in a grid layout (left to right and top to bottom).
----------------------------
Mapping 4535 Time covers into a grid organized by publicatoon date reveals a number of historical patterns. Here are some of them:
Medium: In the 1920s and 1930s Time covers use mostly photography. After 1941, the magazine switches to paintings. In the later decades the photography gradually comes to dominate again. In the 1990s we see emergence of the contemporary software-based visual language which combines manipulated photography, graphic and typographic elements.
Color vs. black and white: The shift from early black and white to full color covers happens gradually, with both types coexisting for many years.
Hue: Distinct “color periods” appear in bands: green, yellow/brown, red/blue, yellow/brown again, yellow, and a lighter yellow/blue in the 2000s.
Brightness: The changes in brightness (the mean of all pixels’ grayscale values for each cover) follow a similar cyclical pattern.
Contrast and Saturation: Both gradually increase throughout the 20th century. However, since the end of the 1990s, this trend is reversed: recent covers have less contrast and less saturation.
Content: Initially most covers are portraits of individuals set against neutral backgrounds. Over time, portrait backgrounds change to feature compositions representing concepts. Later, these two different strategies come to co-exist: portraits return to neutral backgrounds, while concepts are now represented by compositions which may include both objects and people – but not particular individuals.
The visualization also reveals an important “metapattern”: almost all changes are gradual. Each of the new communication strategies emerges slowly over a number of months, years or even decades.
