Isochronic map, giving contours of equal travel time via driving from the city center. Compiled using OpenStreetMaps data, US Census shapefiles, an OSRM server, and QGIS to generate the final map.
Red lines denote an hour of driving, Gray lines denote 15 minutes. Cities displayed are primarily cities that lie at major interstate intersections or had the potential for interesting routing due to their location.
I love tiny images. a collection of pictures I've taken - all digital, a number of different cameras.
From a photo shoot inside the United States' Library of Congress in May 2022. This is one of the prettiest libraries in the world, in terms of aesthetics and it also has one of the most impressive collections anywhere on the planet. It's also the oldest federal cultural institution in the United States, having been created in 1800 (though proposed much earlier, by James Madison, in 1783).
The main building -- the Thomas Jefferson Building -- was built between 1890-1897. As the Brits burned down the original library during the War of 1812 (in 1814), Jefferson sold some of his personal collection (about 6,500 books) to restart the library in 1815. There was a fire in 1851 which, sadly, burned about 2/3 of the library's 35,000 book collection -- including 2/3 of the original purchase from Jefferson.
Also, the LOC has the best collection of (George & Ira) Gershwin memorabilia. Love those jazz standards from the Popular American Songbook? It's definitely worth a look in the room to see the original piano, desk, and typewriter on which many of their famous works were composed.
The Main Reading Room is also visually stunning, and you can see it from a gallery above it to get a great perspective.
Red dot marks the spot of the so-called King of Xu temple in Zhenjiang, which is in fact the 狗王庙.
The Ribbon represents me being in Forest London, and the badly photographed map shows where the gates to different London's are.
Visible Cities - Travel between 4 different London's, passing between gates to these different realities and avoiding chasers along the way.
