#30DayMapChallenge Day 6: Dimensions
I used the dimension of time to map Sussex, NB (and area), over the seasons in 2024, using images from Copernicus Sentinel 2.
I used ArcGIS Pro with tools such as georeferencing, raster clip, and splitting polygon feature layers.

People tend to form relationships with others with similar views, which can make election results feel surprising.

Early Wellington was shaped by streams flowing to the harbour. As the city grew, many were piped underground, hidden from sight but still running beneath our feet.

Took a low res DEM, turned it into points, colored them with a Raven-style hypso ramp, and made Crater Lake blue. Kinda looks like a Lite Brite.

I personally am mixed on illustration in maps; it helps make finding important info easier (eg Statue of Liberty for NY) but I can't help but get distracted when I'm looking at them.
