I grew up hearing "your intention is what counts". Now I have to live in a world, where been kind and helping people in the adversity is criminalized. Meanwhile powerful actors ignore any rule, any law and any common sense. What is the use of institutions meant to protect human rights?
Completing the #30DayMapChallenge. Topic: raster.
The Rodderberg, located on the opposite side of the Rhine River from the Siebengebirge, is an inactive volcano. Although its last eruption was 250,000 years ago, the crater can still be seen in the landscape today. Here, I used my own procedure to contrast the elevations of the south-east and north-west quarters of a circular window against a standard procedure.
Filling in the gaps for the #30DayMapChallenge – Day 12: Map of 2125.
I gave an artistic piece of work (a Gelli plate print) a futuristic look for a kind of worst-case scenario.
Ayer presenté en LatinR 2025 un paquete de R llamado taxnames, que sirve para insertar nombres científicos de organismos en documentos de R Markdown o Quarto. Desarrollé este paquete para ampliar las capacidades de taxlist y facilitar la conexión entre bases de datos taxonómicas y documentos taxonómicos o de biodiversidad.

Map 30 of #30DayMapChallenge - Makeover
This is not the final version, but an improvement on "Map 24" (Names). I added multiple name occurrences in Chile and expanded the map to include the Argentinean side, showing almost all toponyms, including the Mapudungún word "ko" for water.
Day 27 of #30DayMapChallenge - Boundaries
Borderlines between South American countries. Colored according to their extent.
This task was more difficult to achieve as expected.
Day 24 of #30DayMapChallenge - Places and their names
In Mapudungun, the language of the Mapuche people, "ko" means water. As a suffix in Chilean toponymy, it is related to streams or wetlands. Here is a preliminary collection of such names. Note that the outlier Nantoco was named by Mapuches who migrated to this place as mineworkers.
Day 23 of #30DayMapChallenge - Process.
The making of day's 8 map. The process begins with exploring the raw data downloaded from OpenSteetMap. The roads are used to split the background into polygons, and the distribution of size values is examined. Finally, the results are displayed and cities are added to validate the results.

Day 22 of #30DayMapChallenge - Natural Earth Data Challenge
The distance to the capital cities within their respective countries. The polygons and capital cities were extracted from the Natural Earth database (https://www.naturalearthdata.com/). Distances are classified into 250 km intervals.
Day 19 of #30DayMapChallenge - projections:
Another personal map: This is a line connecting the most important stations of my life around the world, displayed in six different projections.
