Emo or Goth? A map tour of special effects
Update: see an accidental X-ray effect in the last map of Ukraine prompted by a Russian invasion.
Two map styles stolen from John Nelson as requested 😊 highlight the snow caps and the sunset lighting of some of my favorite mountainous areas: page through them in this map tour...
01 / 06
1
Banff
Southern Canadian Rocky Mountains from Banff to Saskatchewan Crossing, south end of Columbia Icefields. Note the misting to the SW that's absent to the NE as it's almost mile-high in So. Can. Rocky Mtn. Foothills
2
Jones Sound
Canadian Arctic Islands glaciated terrain at a grand scale. Grinnell Pen. at far left, where I spent the summer that never was of 1986.
3
Pyrénées
SW France south of Béarn with Col du Somport gateway to Spain at bottom left.
4
French Alps
From Grenoble to Turin, Geneva just off top left corner, map angled to fit in print map.
5
Arusha
NE Tanzania field of volcanos incl. giant Kilimanjaro and Ngorongoro craters.
6
Ukraine
Early 2022 invasion by Russia prompted a Medium post for which this is the banner picture. The X-ray effect is accidental: after creating an Emo version of the region, this resulted from autocorrection in MS Picture Manager intended to remove a haze effect!
Note the Danube delta in Moldova at lower left, and the Don-Dniepr basin the large swathe near the centre.
The first images are made in Ice Mountain hill shade style, adding misting for effect.
Secondly, Sunrise Hack shows in fact sunsets lit from the West with dark valleys and mist.
