#30DayMapChallenge | Day 14 OSM | This map challenges the idea that streets belong to cars, even so-called sharrows that still feel unsafe. Using an inverted speed-limit hierarchy, fast roads fade. Bold bike infrastructure reveals how broken and fragmented the biking network is.

#30DayMapChallenge | Day 27 Boundaries | A virtually rendered #LEGO map of the #BritishIsles, with each area in its own color and elevation shown by stacked plates. I also added an inset map for the first time, following the terrain style from my well-received #Arizona map.

Day 30: Makeover

I remade my map from day 21 (bakeries in Paris) and tried to make it a bit more interesting by comparing population and bakery density.

Made a joyplot of Switzerland following @aasmith.bsky.social's instructions.

I'm sure it can be improved but I really like how it looks already!

Day 23: Process

I used QGIS to create one image per year, and then turned them into an animation using ffmpeg.

The command used here to turn all the .png of the folder into one video:

ffmpeg -pattern_type glob -framerate 2 -i "*.png" -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4
