give me the aerial photography

This started out as a travelogue that was mostly pictures of landscapes and my truck, or just pictures of other peoples trucks. Now, I post my own photos and blog about my life as a rambler, mapper, activist and strategic researcher. Since I mostly work with ArcMap, QGIS or other geographic information systems software in my research I post a lot of images of maps some of which are original and some from other blogs.

I am moving to Charleston, WV in June 2012.

Isle Royale National Park

“The last glacier receded from this area about 10,000 years ago. As the glaciers melted, they formed a huge lake which permanently separated Isle Royale from the mainland. Today, the coolness of the big lake (Lake Superior) creates a climate in which artic plant species grow.”
