A forest cover map of Canada. I rather like how this turned out.

Cool but misleading. A high proportion of that big vertical rectangle by the Pacific has been clear-cut. When you fly over it, it's shocking, brutal.

@timbray @terence 😞 😞 😞 I'm saddened to hear that.

My wife asked about the gap in Alberta/Saskatchewan/Manitoba and I explained about the land being the old inland sea and good for farming ... but it really sucks that it's so obviously clearcut

It turns out that the Prairies’ natural state is grassland, trees only found in river valleys and foothills.

A pleasing amount of prairie is being re-wilded. People say the Prairies are boring but that's wrong, they're beautiful.

@timbray I'm an Alberta girl and I do miss the Prairies.

Less miss the bigotry though.

@aurynn @timbray @terence so the tree cover is basically this person's beard?

Heh I also have a short beard (that I put some work into shaping) but no moustache. But it’s some decades since my skin was that fresh…

@terence I'm in love with this! Do you have a public repo of your code at all? I'm so curious about how this was done in rayshader
