Had the maps out by the kitchen table, whilst having my afternoon coffee. I'm planning to travel to the Canadian rocky mountains later this year (hopefully), something I've dreamt to see for a long time! Checking and exploring the area via the maps, searching the Internet high and low, thinking this should be a great adventure.
Few hours of copy/paste and woola. A full map of one of the mainlands in SL (and the largest I might add) Unfortunately, flickr doesn't allow more than 10mbs but the original is pretty well detailed.
Only the telescope view
brings you closer to it.
The treasure map of a junk
addict, a delight for pearly kings
and queens, a shiny chaos turned
into a respectable collection.
But in the end it remains
a bling bling mystery
"But," said Faery Number One, "that is not what our train looks like."
"But," said Faery Number Two, "that is what happens when you hire an artist instead of an engineer."
This is roughly B17, B16, and a little of B22 and 23.

As you probably has already guessed, I'm pretty fond of Italy and everything italian. And that's also count for my choice of wine. If I choose the wine, it's always italian, but also because Vino Rosso d'Italia is so drinkable.
Here is a bottle of Tosco (2021) from Villa Poggio Salvi located in Montalcino, Tuscany. Very nice wine at it's pricepoint of €9 - not a top wine, but good for your daily diner.
location: Casa di Tollestrupe, Denmark
Update Oct 2016: interested in a print? I didn't make it, but I've seen this print and it is quite nice.

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!

The "bed" of that machine is to my eye-
a work of ART!
This is what I am sharing.
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
This is a map I made for a Boston Magazine article on what projects should Boston undertake after the Big Dig. I suggest expanding the subway system.

I was just about to floor it out of a dead end in Randwick when I saw this vehicle come around the corner and roll down the hill. I reversed back with hope they’ll keep coming towards me to do their thing, but unfortunately they cut things short and came back later to cover the ground where I was stopped. I saw the street view camera a while ago now and didn’t see any fresh images published, so didn’t expect to view myself on the maps, but I checked again and there I am in SL37! This picture was taken in Albi Place and we also crossed paths on the upper end of neighbouring Milford Street. I got a picture of Google and Google got a picture of me =]
Switches/Turnouts/Points are one of the weakest areas in building realistic and reliable layouts. The TLG R40 switch is quite limited in potential configurations and has severe geometry due to its R40 radius. It does not combine to make a crossover at a nominal 16-stud centreline and the diverging route does not integrate into a nominal curve radius. To overcome these limitations, I have designed a switch concept called a "Medium" switch. I chose the name "Medium" because it fits in between the TLG R40 "Short" switch and a (yet undesigned) "Long" switch. The design requirements were as follows:
▪ Nominal 8s interval boundaries
▪ Integrates into a 16s centreline crossover without modification
▪ Integrates into a 16s interval radius
▪ 22.5º crossing vee / diverging route angle to support return curves
When designing this switch, it became apparent that the 16-stud convention and 22.5º sector angles do not overlap well from a geometry point of view. Designing a switch to make a clean crossover was easy. Designing it to support a return curve back to a 16-stud centreline *and* within an 8-stud lateral grid was not! It turns out that in addition to the switch itself, a new straight track element is required to realign the geometry of return curves back to a nominal 8-stud interval grid. After some analysis of various track configurations, a "2/5 Straight" or "6.5-stud Straight" element was required. In actual fact it is 6.48x studs long for minimal alignment error; however, even at 6.5x it is within the mechanical tolerances of track construction. This element is very nearly the familiar ratio of 2/5 which we use for SNOT building techniques. It is in fact a partial ratio of the standard 16-stud straight, i.e. 2/5 x 16 studs = 6.4 studs. This new straight element makes possible a variety of return curve configurations with several standard (R56, R72, R88) radii as well as providing alignment for stacked yard ladders.
In future, I intend to design a so-called "Long" switch which has a diverging route at 11.25º. I haven't worked out all of the geometry; however, I am hoping it will fit within the "system" similar to the "Medium" switch.
You can download (at your own risk!) these "add-on" elements for BlueBrick from my website at www.brickdimensions.com/resources/trains.
Happy layout planning and feedback/improvements/suggestions/etc. more than welcome!
