#Botany.. a board game added to collection mainly because of it's art... that being said it plays different enough to other games to have a new experience... it seems that the time used during the game design was use mainly for the art... and a review of the rules was missing. But again, it's cute as hell, and it's different.

#30DayMapChallenge – Day 14: Data Challenge #OpenStreetMap Although this year’s challenge doesn’t include a #VintageMap theme, I decided to bring a bit of history into today’s task. Using #QGIS, I styled current OpenStreetMap data of #RhodeIsland in the aesthetic of 19th‑century maps.

#30DayMapChallenge – Day 14: Data Challenge (#OpenStreetMap)

Although this year’s challenge doesn’t include a #vintagemap theme, I decided to bring a bit of history into today’s task.

Using #QGIS, I styled current OpenStreetMap data of #RhodeIsland in the aesthetic of 19th‑century maps. The polygon boundaries were given a Raster Image Fill, with sampled colours directly taken from old maps of the area. To enhance the look, I also used geometry generators to style the water bodies.

Birmingham city centre was largely destroyed by heavy bombing in the Second World War, and has both suffered through and benefited from extensive reconstruction since.

This #map was published in 1905 and thus shows #Birmingham well before the bombing or any modern changes.
