...a European map for sale at Ikea. I was happy with how the angle squeezing in the whole continent.
These contour maps are simple to make - you need a function that takes two arguments (say x and y) and returns a third value (say z), which defines the location of that point on a colour map. If you get the function and the colour scheme right, you can get attractive abstract patterns.
This function is something like sin(x) * tan(y) = z.
I took the Roanoke Valley BUS Metro map and simplifed it down to resymble the New York City Subway Metro map.
It was fun and new for me. I found it funny how it's hard for me to symplify things but really easy to make things more complex. So i was stretched in that reguard.
I used mainly the pen tool and a few symbles. I liked having to tp use dashed lines.
Blue and white dashed lines are railroads. Blue dots are schools.

Best viewed enlarged this is the route map of "A Tale of Two Ports" which was organised by the Branch Line Society, which took us into Sunderland Docks and into the Port of Tyne, this tour was top and tailed through out from Crewe to the north east and return by GBRF class 66 locomotives 66755 with 66735.
A tour which i had been looking forward to and which didn't dissapoint, 518 miles of GBRF class 66 haulage, two rare freight branches a few freight only lines with a good number of avoiding lines and freight only loops as well.
This is the first time I have done layering with my pictures. It may not be the best but I liked how it turned out
explored!
One day it's gonna happen
I dont know when
I'll be on your street
But I know one day it's gonna happen
You're gonna be swept off your feet

have a great long weekend, guys!
Last night the land mass was redistributed.
The UK remains largely unscathed however the US is now a mass of little islands.
We can now nip to Scandinavia for the day.
I can't find France, we may have lost them.We still have Spain though.
This shows our travel from Addis to Asosa (700km or 15hr driving). Asosa (in orange) is next to the Sudan border. Blue colour represents high altitude.
