PlaneMad's Diary

#Spotted - 1

Posted by PlaneMad on 9 November 2015 in English.

While contributing fixes worldwide to OpenStreetMap 24 hours a day, the data team at Mapbox gets to see beautiful views of our planet on a large scale. We usually spot curiosities of human life and nature that we love to share with others in the team, but given that our earth deserves a wider audience, we’re going to start sharing these on our diaries too on a regular basis.

Feel free to guess what/where on earth:

Small recommendation: if you show images of non-urban areas for educative purposes it usually helps to include a scale bar.

Good suggestion imagico. In future we’ll keep the OSM scale bar.
