“What the f* wast that? Wooooah”

Ryder couldn’t handle the Giro yesterday, quite sad about that.

i’m on that opinion every true cycling champion (the clean ones, only these days, not before) has to take a break after a very successful year (GT-victory or dozens of stage and one-day victories) and it lasts for a year. look Cadel, he has a lower year in 2012, Nibali couldn’t score a victory for a year after his GT win, and it is the thing with Wiggins and Hesjedal too.

just be patient, pedal hard and believe in cycling! :)

climateadaptation:

From Michael Marten’s series, Sea Change, which explores rising sea levels from regular tides and also climate change. His statement:

‘Sea Change’ is a study of the tides round the coast of Britain. The views in each diptych are taken from identical positions at low tide and high tide, usually 6 or 18 hours apart.

I am interested in showing how landscape changes over time through natural processes and cycles. The camera that observes low and high tide side by side enables us to observe simultaneously two moments in time, two states of nature.

Recent landscape photography often focuses on human shaping (and reshaping) of the environment - urbanisation, globalisation, pollution. Even when critical and committed, this approach can emphasise, even glamorise, humankind’s power over nature. I’m interested in rediscovering nature’s own powers: the elemental forces and processes that underlie and shape the planet.

The tides are one of these great natural cycles. I hope these photographs will stimulate people’s awareness of natural change, of landscape as dynamic process rather than static image. Attending to earth’s rhythms can help us to reconnect with the fundamentals of our planet, which we ignore at our peril.

‘Sea Change’ also comments on climate change. The tide floods in and quickly recedes again, but rising sea levels will flood our shores and not recede for thousands or millions of years. Many of the views in these pictures may have disappeared in 100 years’ time.

davidsparvero:

These are some maps I created in my senior year of college for Advanced Cartography.

There are so many little things wrong with these guys but I still love them. And making them was a great way to break me into Adobe Illustrator.

I’m just dying to make some new maps. This stuff is over 3 years old now. Eventually I will make some new maps; probably maps that I really wanted to make in college- Big Foot sighting correlated with ethnic diversity, or UFO sightings correlated with employment diversity. These ideas and various others were turned down by my instructor.

Long live cartography and geography!
