Day 1 · Points

The Catskills in pure-pigment dots, Seurat-style.
Your eye does all the colour mixing. Up close it's confetti; from across the room it's mountains.

QGIS + Python (NumPy, GDAL) + ffmpeg

#GISChat #30DaysMappingChallenge Something that popped into my brain just now as I was looking through my books for some quip about creativity was:

Be Scared and Do it Anyway.
Be Scared,
Be Unsure,
Be Doubtful.
But Do it Anyway.

Definitely share your work! And Rachel is right with #1 as well... use the challenge in a way that works for YOU!

1 map, 8 maps, 15 maps... whatever fits your time budget is still a great way to participate! Just set a realistic goal and no pressure needed.

Meant to #gischat this. Also the wordy activity often involves wishful thinking
Currently I'm waging a battle with the forces that be about whether we really need the full names of buildings and parks (such as the [insert full name here with middle initial] Center for [insert incredibly wordy activity]) on a tight map or can we just shorten it somehow?

#GISChat What #30DayMapChallenge categories are you excited for? I am excited for Utopia and Rural-Urban I am looking forward to creating or updating maps I have already made, in order to fit those themes.
