#30DayMapChallenge · Day 26 · Transport. Yet another visualisation of global shipping density. But it's engraved on metal with realistic light and shadow. Because we can do that in R.

#30daymapchallenge | Day 22 Data: Natural Earth | The Great Islands
Earlier this summer I finished this print version of my map from last year depicting our Great Lakes as islands. Been trying to learn more about lighting techniques in Blender—I think this was a big leap forward from 2024 version!

#30DayMapChallenge · Day 22 · Natural Earth. Many spinning globes. Honestly, I don't know how to use this amazing resource because I'm—no surprises here—not a cartographer. Am just a one-note guy who likes R.

#30DayMapChallenge · Day 21 · Icons. Lighthouses of the Pacific. Yes...I've done lots of lighthouse maps but not in this projection. I still like it—there's nothing like path-traced points of light realistically rendered.

Day 6 of the #30DayMapChallenge (3D), a render of Mount Rainier with a realistic atmospheric skydome generated w/ a lat/long/datetime, rendered entirely in #RStats with #rayshader and #rayrender! The atmosphere is annoyingly realistic: I now have to dial in the exposure depending on the time of day!

#30daymapchallenge | Day 1 Points | Fall Foliage 🍁
We're at the tail end of autumn leaf color here in Madison. Here's a quick pair of maps to help you hunt down the most prevalent street trees that show off in vibrant yellows vs the less common but spectacular oranges and reds this time of year!

Day 1 - Points
Rhode Island Lighthouses
Most of my maps will be about Rhode Island. A good way for me to learn about a place (and find datasets) is to try to create a map of a thing.

Tree height map of Montréal. See the blank space without any trees in the middle? If you aren't from Montréal, what do you think that is? :)
