When two of the same pole approach each other, the effect is repulsion. What happens with the magnetic fields is that the field lines essentially bump into each other. Since there can only be one field at each location (because how could a compass point in 2 directions?) this means that there's an abrupt change in the middle, which is not always easy to plot.
About the Killing Fields
The Killing Fields are a number of sites in Cambodia where large numbers of people were killed and buried by the Khmer Rouge regime, during its rule of the country from 1975 to 1979, immediately after the end of the Cambodian Civil War (1970-1975).
Analysis of 20,000 mass grave sites by the DC-Cam Mapping Program and Yale University indicate at least 1,386,734 victims. Estimates of the total number of deaths resulting from Khmer Rouge policies, including disease and starvation, range from 1.7 to 2.5 million out of a population of around 8 million. In 1979, communist Vietnam invaded Democratic Kampuchea and toppled the Khmer Rouge regime.
Cambodian journalist Dith Pran coined the term 'killing fields' during his escape from the regime. A 1984 film, The Killing Fields, tells the story of Dith Pran, played by another Cambodian survivor Haing S. Ngor, and his journey to escape the death camps
About Choeng Ek
Choeung Ek, the site of a former orchard and Chinese graveyard about 17 km south of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, is the best-known of the sites known as The Killing Fields, where the Khmer Rouge regime executed about 17,000 people between 1975 and 1979. Mass graves containing 8,895 bodies were discovered at Choeung Ek after the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime. Many of the dead were former political prisoners who were kept by the Khmer Rouge in their Tuol Sleng detention center.
Today, Choeung Ek is a memorial, marked by a Buddhist stupa. The stupa has acrylic glass sides and is filled with more than 5,000 human skulls. Some of the lower levels are opened during the day so that the skulls can be seen directly. Many have been shattered or smashed in.

As much as how presentable a person looks, others tend to have an impression of how they live gloriously and elegantly.
Here in my opinion is a small and an overlooked scene of the lives of city folks.

People are upset over a proposed fare hike for next year. Not sure if this is why the map was turned upside down or not. Nobody else on the train seemed to notice.
I love mapping things. I used to be much better at it; neater, with the squared paper and the coloured pencils.
I missed off all the tables we never really use. :-}
Map comparisons for outback route planning...
Just stick to paper maps such as the Hema Desert Tracks book!
But you need at least three atlas sets to get all the details! Or local tourist maps and the GA National Mapping sets at various scales.

Google has a neat little application for viewing their maps on your Windows Media enabled mobile phone.
The quality of this photo is a little lacking, and my screen is somewhat better than it appears in this picture, but I'm pleased to say that much of the functionality of the web version of Google Maps is available in the mobile version.

We started off our week-long training with a mapping exercise, simply asking the women to draw a map of the community where they live. What followed was a rich conversation about the camps where they are currently living, and a host of details they highlighted in their presentations.
The map at left tells the story of a young girl, and how she walks from church to the camp where she lives. When asked why the church is drawn so much larger than the camp, the group explained because of how small the tents are, and how big the church is.
The map at right is of Place Pétion, at Champ de Mars, a very crowded camp facing some of the worst incidents of sexual violence.
Read the notes for more details.

Mapping invisible / Mendiak
The memory of what has been real, it’s already a proof of the absence, the
landscapes where the other one is missing... it has been for real? Only the
lines, strokes, stains, the gesture, the partial, the oblivion… The memory
beyond the landscape, recreated inside the interior arquitecture, broken,
incomplete, as the geography of the contemporary identity.

HDR image taken inside St David's cathedral, by tone-mapping 3 exposures taken at +2EV, 0EV and -2EV.
St David's Cathedral is situated in St Davids in the county of Pembrokeshire, on the most westerly point of Wales.
Built upon the site of St David's 6th century monastery, St David’s Cathedral has been a site of pilgrimage and worship for many hundreds of years and remains a church serving a living community. During the 10th and 11th centuries the cathedral was regularly raided by Vikings arriving from the western seaways. A visitor in the 11th century found only an abandoned site with St David's shrine lost amongst the undergrowth. It is known that in 1089 the shrine had been removed from the church and stripped of the precious metals which had adorned it. In 1115 Bishop Bernard was appointed bishop of St Davids by King Henry I, and in 1123 Bishop Bernard secured a "privilege" from Pope Calixtus II. In 1131 he dedicated a new cathedral and in 1181 work on the present Cathedral was begun.
This map shows an area of the storm water drain system in Manzoor Colony, Karachi.
Whenever Karachi floods, the government announces plans to widen its storm water drains (nalas) that carry the floodwaters to the sea. It then announces the number of houses in informal settlements to be demolished along the banks of the nalas, considered to be blocking the flow of water.
However, communities have long argued that their encroachments are just one of the reasons why Karachi floods. Other reasons are that the nalas are choked with sewage sludge and garbage, while independent planners point out that three of the major outfalls to the sea are blocked – so even if the nalas are widened, flooding will still occur.
In September 2020, the community itself decided to map the nala system. The findings showed that the Manzoor Colony nala is about seven feet deep, of which three to four feet are filled with sewage sludge and silt. At 21 points in this drainage network the Manzoor Colony nala and the other nalas connected to it are blocked with garbage, debris, and collapsed infrastructure. All this was mapped and photographed.
This image shows the map that was produced by the Technical Training Resource Centre.
