Map on an old globe

This video shows the rise and fall of civilisations, city states and nations between 2000BC and the present day, covering Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.

 

Rendering was done in QGIS using 'save as image'. Each one of 20 or so layers was saved as a different image (frame_0001.png, frame_0002.png, etc). Projection is European Albers Equal Area Conic.

 

To keep colours consistent between frames, I used a python function in QGIS to create a unique consistent colour for each country name, based on the first 3 bytes of the MD5 hash (so for example "Norway" always hashes to color '#D5B929FF' )

 

The video was created using a two line bash script, using convert (imagemagick) and ffmpeg. The convert does the colour interpolation, and ffmpeg stitches those frames into an mp4 video.

 

convert frame_*.png -delay 10 -morph 30 %05d.morph.png

ffmpeg -i %05d.morph.png -r 12 -qscale 2 output.mp4

 

Data was from this github repo.

I've noted the location of the following more precisely on knautia's (fantastic) 1890's map:

 

represent I couldn't tell if this was ironic retro graffiti, or if it was real Man U and Hammersmith stuff. In any case: it looks retro.

verde & co Not surprisingly they don't just sell oranges. I had no idea who ran this shop until I looked it up on the web just now. Gilbert and George used to help run a cafe on Fournier Street nearby, so artist run buisnesses are a tradition in the neighborhood.

chirstchurch, spitalfields. A Hawksmoor Church. Situated on pentangles and lay lines, I'll be bound.

S. Schwartz Fournier Street. Paste up by Swoon, early 18th century houses, 19th/ early 20th century business.

monster? Remember -- not Frankenstein, Frankenstein's monster (gratuitous link to my own writing).

In the new square at Trondheim, this map of the river Nidelven has been made. Really nicely done.

This map shows a heatmap of 175,000 4.5+ magnitude earthquakes since 1973 based on data from the USGS (United States Geological Survey). And worldwide locations of nuclear power stations using information from the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency).

In the early 1980s, there was some talk among environmentalists about using waste heat from Intalco Aluminum (now Alcoa) for heat. Possibly piping it to Bellingham from the Intalco plant near Ferndale, WA. I was intrigued by the idea so I drew a map for what I thought would be an efficient route to go past many of the major buildings in Bellingham with the least amount of pipe laying required.

It appears that this map is from 1977. I couldn't find a typical print year on it, just a code that said 1/77, which is likely the print date. This map does show all the Amoco gas stations in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia at the time. The locations were few and far between though.

 

This map also had some interesting ads in it too some chains were represented by a certain number on the map. Others, such as Albert Pick Hotels, Holiday Inn, and Coachmen Recreational Vehicles were represented by their logo.

 

Here are some more maps and map images that I figured I would share to go along with the ones I posted before. I figured I would do these as a mass upload then go back to the more typical retail pictures I post.

 

The full road maps were way too large to fit into the scanner and I didn't want to risk damaging the maps so I mostly copied covers, advertisements, and certain city maps. I do want to figure out a decent way to photograph the full maps without harming them. All of these ones are larger than the Ohio Turnpike Map I posted before.

More sketches from Paraty. I'm never oriented until I draw a map. Sketched from a variety of sources, none of which seemed to show all the things I wanted to see.

I've pointed out the locations of the three cities we traveled to on our trip to China

All the official TOPW walks since November 2013 through to our 5th Anniversary party, Nov15 2014.

New Tool in Flickr. I just checked our photostream to see a link to "map" in the toolbar. The link lead nowhere but things are promising :)

the trip started in montreal, headed west first, and completed the loop just over 60 days later.

Just like the new county-wide map, the new Woking bus map (effective September 2011) is riddled with errors.

 

Can anyone see any others?

Bergslagsleden

 

The Bergslag Trail is one of Sweden’s longest hiking trails. The trail stretches from Kloten in the north to Stenkällegården in the south, a total length of 280 km. It's a wonderful trail. :)
