How do you map a place you have only heard of, but have never seen? Each year I lose my way as an artist. Painting Albuquerque as a new year exercise seemed an appropriate way to start the year after being away from painting for far too long.
I'd like to visit Albuquerque. The first time I heard the word was when Bugs Bunny popped out of his rabbit hole on his way to somewhere else. It always seemed unfair that some place should be famous to me because a cartoon got there by accident. Even as a child, I sensed this injustice. If you look at a map of Albuquerque, it's in the middle of two cross hairs (State Routes 40 and 25) across a land mass that is 121,697 square miles, if you agree with the map.
It is said that Old Albuquerque dates to 1706 when Sir Francisco Cuervo y Valdés showed up. I prefer to think that the Zia deserve credit. The Zia Sun Sign is a symbol originated with the Indians of Zia, an ancient Pueblo (Indian village) 35 miles northwest of Albuquerque. The symbol has sacred meaning to the Zia. Four is a sacred number which symbolizes the Circle of Life: four winds, four seasons, four directions, and four sacred obligations. There appear to be four different ways to go from the center of Albuquerque.
In this painting, there is a shell that grows and vibrates like a beating heart in the center of what Albuquerque looks like in my imagination. I hope it's as pretty as I imagine when I go there some day.

Held each year, CAVES teaches astronauts to explore the underground system of the Sa Grutta caves in Sardinia, Italy, as a team, delving deep underground to perform scientific experiments as well as chart and document their activities.
The CAVES course – Cooperative Adventure for Valuing and Exercising human behaviour and performance Skills – is run by the European Astronaut Centre to simulate spaceflight. Seasoned International Space Station astronauts as well as rookies participate in the course and share experiences while learning how to improve leadership, teamwork, decision-making and problem-solving skills.
The cavenauts participating in this year's campaign are ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano, NASA astronaut Scott Tingle, Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexander Mirsurkin and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and ESA engineer & Eurocom Matthias Maurer.

This new map shows topographic features on the far side of the moon in unprecedented detail. It was made from new data obtained by the laser altimeter instrument onboard the Japanese lunar orbiter Kaguya. The map is accurate to a vertical resolution of about 12 meters, according to mission scientists. The map was released at the American Geophysical Union meeting now underway, where a raft of new findings have been announced.

Here's a collection of pins that I place on a wall map of the U.S. to show the different towns and cities I have been to. Green pins are travels for personal reasons (vacations, family visits), red pins designate business travel and blue pins mean nothing except that I ran out of green pins! I have driven a lot of the country, so the pins represent actual stays overnight.
Technique: took a shot of the map and used the "fancy focus" effect in Picknik to zero in on Pennsylvania and Delaware (where our "family roots" are). It really kept my central focal area sharp while blurring the rest and I liked how it turned out as it took a rather boring shot and made it somewhat interesting.
this Cessna T337H Turbo (built 1978) was flying line by line over a particular area Southern Suburbs of Cape Town. Remarkable this external ball what looks like an camera under the left ( backboard ) wing...
Maybe one of my visitors knows more about this interesting plane?

This map shows wifi access point data logged by my wifi sniffer and GPS device. It uses a custom tileserver to provide an additional data layer to the Google map. "Hotter" spots on the map correspond to more open access points in that area.
This is still a work in progress, and consists only of about 3 days worth of data.
I have seen tone mapping done and always thought it looked lovely...one of my flickr buddies does it often but I've never done it before.
When I came across it, in Corel photoshop pro, I decided to give it a go...not hard really, it's just important not to 'over cook' it lol.
I've seen some that are over cooked...I hope this one isn't...I appreciate constructive critisism from those of you who know more about this than I do...ta.
With love
Nat :)

In response to the Department of Interior’s Powering Our Future initiative, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has begun investigating how to assess the impacts of wind energy development on wildlife at a national scale. The first step in understanding the impact of wind energy development is to determine where the wind turbines are located. To remedy the lack of current turbine information, the USGS created this publicly available national dataset and interactive mapping application of wind turbines.
You can view the interactive map on your desktop at bit.ly/turbinelocations.
