Day 3 - Polygons
The parks of Glasgow, a city known locally as 'the dear green place'.
I'm fond of this minimalist style.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 1 - Points
I've seen a lot of high quality, professional maps already, but instead I am here to lower the tone. 😇
It's just after 5pm on a Friday. That means it's Beer O'Clock, so here's my map to represent this concept.
A map of places licensed to sell alcohol in Stirling, Scotland with an appropriate background... Cheers! 🍻

@npub1g0t…tvm4 I remember reading an article a while back that tried to justify skinny models by saying designers preferred them because 'the clothes hang better'.
This never made sense to me. Are designers admitting that their clothes are going to look inferior on everyone who isn't model-thin (which is the majority of people)? What kind of sales tactic is that?

The lighthouse and breakwater in Berwick.
This was a 'practice' edit where I tried to give the image a slightly dreamy feel. Edited in #darktable with a little bit of #gimp

Loved this bit of the cycle track yesterday. The hedgerow was bursting with wild flowers with nature at its most vibrant. And, best of all, couldn't hear any traffic!

Wee pic I took in #Dunkeld the other day. It's a lovely village with some great walks in the surrounding area.

This tree is *desperate* to be a ship's figurehead.
You gotta have goals...!

Had a fantastic walk near Dunblane today. The forecast predicted some showers but we got lucky!
I live for country walks like this ♥️
