Six countries represented. Medieval relic book as reference. Paintings of woman in traditional dress inhabiting the map of the country they were attacked in. Folded boats of information taken from online articles where women described how violence affected them.

In our synthesis, we have concentrated on finding the place for each activity in the Park where it is possible to let the surrounding nature dominate over the activity. In the establishment phase, many priorities have to be made, due to a lack of funding.
When establishing an activity, it is critical to measure the correct size against other activities, even those planned to come in a later phase. Also, it is in line with the total concept of the Entoto Natural Park to profile the activities from the very beginning.
Every activity should be of high quality. For example, creating a wedding park does not mean that it should be in the style of other wedding parks in Addis Ababa.
A bird eye's perspective of the park (Annex 1) illustrates our suggestions for the location of the activities, that were agreed upon at the Park Committee meetings.
The spatial distribution is a result of the analysis of criteria for location and from the synthesis.
Description of Main Attraction Points
Data on the existing attraction points, which we had asked about, were collected by Napoleon Tsegaye in October 1994, who kindly made an interview in Amharic with his grandfather,
Ato Gebre Kidane Wibishet, native to the area.
Geographical Situation
Addis Ababa is situated 9° north of the equator, in central Ethiopia. The park area, on the mountain of Entoto, extends from the northern edge of the city, at an altitude of 2 600m and further north over the mountain crest at almost 3 100 m.
From several spots, there is splendid outlook over the sprawling city and the five high solitary mountains, in the southwest to the southeast (Menagesha, Wachecha, Furi Zukuala and Yerer).
Facing north from the top ridge, one looks out over vast plains, towards Sululta and some bare mountains. The mountain ridge on which the Park is located constitutes a big water divider.
The northern slope drains into the Blue Nile, and the precipitation from the southern slope will end up in the Awash river.
This has the curious result that two raindrops falling at the same time just a few centimetres apart, will have quite different destinies: one will after a long journey reach the Mediterranean Sea, whereas the other will pass through the city of Addis Ababa, eventually evaporating in the Danakil Desert, as the Awash River never reaches the sea (Håkan Blanck and Pia Englund, Entoto Natural Park 1995).

This was just a motocross track with a lot of lumps of rock and mud flying around. The original picture was quite boring, so I played a bit with tone mapping etc.
On the right hand side you can see a part of the back wheel of a motorcross bike passing by.
This is a photograph impression of the workshop, its participants and venue from the 2nd International Crowdsourcing and National Mapping Workshop funded by EuroSDR on 3rd and 4th April 2017 held in the Irish College in Leuven, Belgium. The workshop was co-chaired by Peter Mooney (Ireland), Rob Lemmens (The Netherlands) and Joep Crompvoets (Belgium). The goal of this workshop was to engage with stakeholders from NMCAs, the Geomatics Industry, academic research, software developers, citizens involved in geographic crowdsourcing and VGI, leaders or managers of crowdsourcing or VGI projects over 1.5 days to develop a set of the most prominent and pressing questions related to crowdsourcing and national mapping in Europe (and beyond) today. Overall the workshop was a great success. There were 52 participants from all over Europe including academia, industry, National Mapping and Cadastral Agencies and crowdsourcing projects.

Inspired by Burak's networking workshop, we conducted some short pen & paper mapping exercise today. Some great ideas in there...

Mapping our route over the Subway.
Unlike most mechanical pencils that have the release buttons at the end of the pencil, this one has it on the body. However, this unconventional design is very intuitive since this button has a positive affordance for pressing. It does have a poorer mapping than the conventional ones though, since the lead goes straight out of the pencil while the button pushes perpendicularly to that direction.

Given an existing tileset, MBTiles scans through 2,000 tiles at a time and consolidates repeated tiles, like those representing land and simple terrain. The result is a much-smaller file, especially given vector data like World Light with deep zoom levels.

Two things happened in the last week. 1. I saw a wonderful presentation on Abstract Photography. 2. I took a photo trip to San Francisco & Marin Co. with that presentation on my mind.
One stop on the trip was the Marin Headlands which is in the Golden Gate Recreation Area administered by the National Park Service. It is the Northern Shoreline of The Golden Gate entrance to SF Bay. A former military installation to protect the Golden Gate from invading ships there are several sites that were cannon batteries. These bunkers are above & below ground built to contain the big guns. Now this one serves as a graffiti gallery.
Available light photos taken within the tunnel.
Proteger la vida silvestre, ese fue el mensaje que dejó la proyección del video mapping denominado UKCOL Por La Vida Silvestre, una colaboración creativa exclusiva entre el reconocido fotógrafo de animales Tim Flach y el músico del grupo colombiano Bomba Estéreo, Simón Mejía, que explora la belleza y la majestuosa biodiversidad de Latinoamérica y hace un fuerte llamado a su protección.
Anoche, como parte de los eventos de la agenda de la II Conferencia de Alto Nivel de las Américas sobre el Comercio Ilegal de Vida Silvestre, que se desarrolla en La Heroica, se presentó este producto audiovisual que fue apreciado por cientos de turistas que transitan por la Torre del Reloj.
El ministro de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, Carlos Eduardo Correa, destacó el trabajo del fotógrafo británico que logró plasmar en imágenes la riqueza natural de los países latinoamericanos. “Lo que vimos en la Torre del Reloj es la muestra de la grandeza de nuestra región. Nuestro país alberga el 10 % de toda la biodiversidad global y esa es una riqueza que debemos entender más allá del discurso”, dijo.
Guacamayas, tucanes, pelícanos, jaguares, caimanes, monos, sapos y especies marinas, entre otros, fueron las especies que llenaron de colores y vida la Torre del Reloj. El video mapping tuvo una duración de 40 minutos y fue musicalizado en vivo, por lo que ofreció una experiencia única, sensorial y envolvente.
“El enfoque de mi trabajo no es el de un fotógrafo de vida silvestre tradicional, sino que busco recrear el carácter, la personalidad de estos animales para que parezcan casi unos retratos humanos, para que podamos pensar en ellos de otra forma y lo que eso puede decirnos de nosotros mismos. Ustedes tienen una biodiversidad extraordinaria, como estos delfines de agua dulce, tienen el tití cabeza blanca, en las costas tienen aglomeraciones de tiburones martillo que se reúnen para aparearse. Todos estos son animales únicos, ¿cómo no inspirarse con toda esta biodiversidad?”, resaltó Tim Flach.
Esta producción se hizo realidad gracias al apoyo del Festival Internacional de Cine Ambiental colombiano Planet On, a través de su iniciativa Music On, liderada por Simón Mejía y diseñada visualmente por Santiago Caicedo, junto con la campaña Great del Gobierno del Reino Unido, lo que refleja la alianza entre los dos países y su compromiso por la protección del medio ambiente. / Abr. 05, 2022.
