Scenes from morning hike with my sis. Not shown: heavy fog and humidity! Not their usual Wyoming fare.

Paleolithic art conveyed information about the landscape and resources, according to archaeologists who analyzed engravings and paintings from France and Spain. The art represented rivers, mountains, valleys, and other features, suggesting that ancient humans had sophisticated communication skills and used art to share knowledge and enhance survival. phys.org/news/2023-08-topograp

Another angle with a printed frame. I love how printing in this orientation layers become contour lines that you can trace between trails to compare elevations. Speaking of which, elevation is exaggerated about 3x, which I think does a nice job highlighting glacial artifacts of the area along with giving a sense of climbing effort for a given trail.

Cette infographie répond à la question : « Quel est le point le plus élevé sur notre Terre 🌍 ? ».
En fait, il y en a trois, tout dépend du point d'origine considéré :
- Si l'on mesure par rapport au niveau de la mer : c'est le mont Everest🇳🇵(Népal)
- Si l'on mesure par rapport à la base de la montagne : c'est le mont Mauna Kea 🇺🇲 (États-Unis)
- Si l'on mesure par rapport au centre de la Terre : c'est le mont Chimborazo 🇪🇨 (Équateur)

Pro tip for anyone who happens to be looking for high resolution and data. Nasa's publicly available images top out at 3.6k pixels wide, which might not be enough for say a detailed 3D model. But if you go to the web page where they're available e.g. neo.gsfc.nasa.gov/view.php?dat and click one of the download links, it actually renders the data live. So if you hack the URL you can dial up any* resolution you want.
The URL for the bathymetry data for example ends with `&format=PNG&width=3600&height=1800`. If you want an image with say, 10 times the resolution, just add a zero to both dimensions.
*Not sure what the upper limit is, or what resolution the original data set is. Don't abuse it or it might get taken away.

Straight lines/Curved lines (a late contribution to !)

This is a at the Topographie des Terrors museum in : topographie.de/.

This complex houses an excellent exhibition about the ways in which Nazis developed control over Germany in the 1920s-30s-40s, as well as the aftermath of the Nazi era. It picks up on the very real of the buildings that are now part of everyday Berlin, but were once used in the -era for violence, persecution, and murder. I found it quite difficult to even think about making meaningful photographs here, but this window in the café, that looks into the other parts of the building (look at the website, it's the square in the middle), suggested something of the bleakness of the topics that were being addressed, and the ways in which things that are straight can be bent, much as clear truths can be bent to be deadly lies.
