A Marble & Granite Workroom
in Chicago uses as Diamond-Blade-Circular-Saw
to cut through Stone Slabs that are NOT cut (machined)
using their CNC-WaterJet-Machine.
The "bed" of that machine is to my eye-
a work of ART!
This is what I am sharing.
This B & W Map was copied from the Internet, then coloured and highlighted by me, to show just how large Canada is as compared to Europe. The Quote is from 'Canada Facts', also from the Internet. Canada is outlined in red.
Please enlarge the map to see it better.
Canada is populated mainly in cities close to the US Border and has only 1/10th of the population of the US. Services are therefore more limited in evey aspect, due to the thousands of miles across Canada with empty, almost unpopulated areas, more evident in the Northern areas. Parts of the Great Lakes are on the US Side, but I had no accurate area to draw the dividing red line.
"Canada is the world's second largest country with an area of 9,970,610 km. (3,851,809 sq. mi.). Russia is the largest with an area of 17,075,272 km. (6,591,055 sq. mi.). Continental United states has an area of 9,428,692 km. (3,639,475 sq. mi.), but with Hawaii, Alaska andits territories it has a combined area of 10,828,548 km. (4,179,819 sq. mi.). Brazil has an area of 8,544,822 km. (3,298,301 sq. mi.). China has a continental area of 9,634,014 km. (3,718,729 sq. mi.), but with outlying territories added it has a combined area of 13,679,699km. (5,280,384 sq. mi.).

Geographical settings (or notional ones, in the case of shows set in imaginary towns and counties) for a whole bunch of British sitcoms, soaps, dramas and other fictional TV series (and one radio soap).
Inspired by Dan Meth's US sitcom map.

11pm, Sunday: Now updated to include earlier suggestions.
10am, Monday: I'm especially interested in any series which are set (not just filmed) in:
-- The Borders & Dumfries/Galloway
-- Northern Ireland
-- The Grampians
-- The Highlands
-- Exmoor & Dartmoor
-- Wiltshire & Hampshire
-- Lincolnshire
-- North Wales
00:30, Tuesday. Updated again!
Many more titles added, and a lot more order. Still not much going on in Lincolnshire...
It's also LOADS BIGGER now, since I quite fancy getting it printed and sticking it on a wall somewhere at home.
Let me know if you might be interested in same.

The main thing I'm drawing is the NHDFlowline shapefile in NHDPlus, a dataset that originates from the USGS.
I'm drawing all of the flowlines. This includes lots of seasonal creekbeds, arroyos, etc. That's why you see so much blue in dry areas. It also doesn't include places like the Everglades where specific flowlines haven't been defined. I may have bugs with a bit of missing data, too.
My apologies to Alaska, Hawaiʻi, and the rest of the world. I'm drawing all the data in NHDPlus but it only includes the contiguous 48.
There's an artifact in the data that causes blue rectangles and variable density, particularly north of Texas and west of the Mississippi. I believe it's related to how NHD is digitized off the USGS quads.
Please do look to the GitHub project for technical details!

This is from the back cover of the Boston Rapid Transit Album, a Boston Street Railway Assn, Inc. publication. It shows the MTA, as the T was known, in the 1940s and 50s. Note the different colored lines: today's Red Line was blue, today's Orange Line was red, and today's Blue Line was orange. The current colors were switched during a system wide rebranding when the MBTA was created (this rebranding also gave us the "T" logo we know and love).
Map used as end covers for “cheap edition" of 'Scott’s Last Expedition' published in 1923 by John Murray. Note the polar bear in the bottom right corner! Needless to say at the time this map was created, it wasn't known that polar bears only existed in the northern polar regions.

NDCS team away day looking at the impact of the Cameron government's cuts on social care for deaf children and young people. We visualised the cuts as a dark raincloud, and NDCS campaigns and services as a sunburst of hope.
Challenging times. I do like colourful mind maps and post it notes, and here's the result of our afternoon session.
I was astounded by Bill Rankin's map of Chicago's racial and ethnic divides and wanted to see what other cities looked like mapped the same way. To match his map, Red is White, Blue is Black, Green is Asian, Orange is Hispanic, Gray is Other, and each dot is 25 people. Data from Census 2000. Base map © OpenStreetMap, CC-BY-SA

While out on the pontoon boat we came across this small map turtle.
Anne thought it looked like a Chinese lantern.

Graptemys geographica
Mating in spring; females lay eggs in sandy or soft soil
Nesting occurs in late spring to early summer
Hatchlings emerge in late summer or overwinter and emerge in spring
We don't 'do' Halloween, but I tried to create a kind of contemporary eery image for today's Sliders Sunday, HSS!
The Map Butterfly (Araschnia levana) is so named because the wings of its spring generation are marked a bit like a road map. However, this butterfly is famous for having a highly dissimilar summer generation, which has largely black wings with a single white band across. The summer generation resembles a tiny White Admiral more than it resembles its orange map-winged spring generation. It is quite common in Continental Europe but is absent from Britain. It was introduced to both Monmouthshire and Herefordshire in 1912 but only lasted a couple of years. A number were seen in Dorset in 2014 but it seems generally agreed that these too were introduced rather than genuine natural colonists. They are cousins of the Red Admiral but much, much smaller. But their caterpillars similarly feed on nettles. I photographed this spring brood male in Estonia where they seemed to be quite common.
Its scientific name Araschnia also describes the reticulate wing pattern of the spring brood. It comes from the Greek word "arakhnion" for spider's web. Levana was an obscure Roman goddess.
