It’s easy to burn out and get frustrated. Use RNG to pick two themes and try to explain the link between the two.Ī gentle reminder: The time limit of these types of challenges can get to your head sometimes. Tico600 suggested a great idea yesterday. If you’re gonna post your work on social media you can use the hashtag “ #talecember “ Added a fixed one in the second slide in case you need it.
Saw so many good ones go unnoticed because of the number of comments. Do me a favor and sort by new when you share your work and read some of the entries. I’ll make a master post each day for everyone to share their work. You can work in any medium or style you like. Any other interpretation is welcome too :) You can use this to flesh out the everyday life of your world. Weekends represent the regular leisure days a culture has. I had to sacrifice responding to every comment to be able to read everything posted. First of all, Thank you so much for participating in yesterday’s challenge. The mounds may be responsible for the aerial pattern of scattered circles, though Sparavigna says on-the-ground confirmation is needed.Day 2 of the Worldbuilding challenge - weekend 11, 2016 (opens in new tab) - the paper has yet to be peer-reviewed. Sparavigna discusses her theory in a scientific paper posted online on Jan.
These pesky critters can create nesting mounds spanning some 47 inches (120 centimeters) across and are typically surrounded by bare ground up to 108 square feet (10 square meters), according to physicist Amelia Carolina Sparavigna, a specialist in image processing and satellite imagery analysis at the Politecnico of Torino in Ital. Turns out, the desert around the Grand Canyon is home to red harvester ants (Pogonomyrmex barbatus).

This weird polka-dot pattern in the vegetation near a volcano on the rim of the Grand Canyon could be the work of red harvester ants. The site was once equipped with missiles in the open air, with embankments between paired launch sites. Here, one of those sites, the Oahu Defense Area in Hawaii, is shown in 1968. His plan is to build a geo-referenced database so that anyone can research the Nike missile sites through Google Earth. Those missiles became obsolete with the advent of long-range intercontinental ballistic missiles (opens in new tab) (ICBMs).ĭavid Tewksbury, a GIS (geographic information system) specialist at Hamilton College in New York, aimed to preserve a visual record of the abandoned Nike missile launch sites before they vanish - either as a result of being reclaimed by nature, repurposed by the military or redeveloped. Some of those missiles even carried nuclear warheads. Nike missiles, which were supersonic surface-to-air missiles, sat ready to launch at nearly 300 sites across the United States during a period of the Cold War, from 1954 to the 1970s.
