A new landscape feature...

...with several prominent features...

The Giant Naked Lady of Cramlington (let's see if this blog post makes it past the filters...) is opening in October as part of an attraction called Northumberlandia...
A bold new landscape feature...

It has been created by the Land Trust. Admission is FREE.

There is a viewpoint where the feature will reveal itself to the visitor, and plenty of walks - it's difficult to see the whole feature and it will change as people walk through it...

Go to the website to download a rather nice MAP and LEAFLET in PDF format.

Might make a useful new tourism case study if you're in the area...
I'll definitely pop in the next time I'm passing....

Ideal scenery

Check out this Robert MacFarlane tweet, and the replies that follow for a whole host of ideas on different people's ideal landscapes... Some wonderful images and brief descriptions ideal for sharing... "Tramlines and slagheaps, pieces of machinery, That was, and still is, my ideal scenery." WH Auden Question: what is your "ideal scenery"? pic.twitter.com/8QLS0HRZt9 — Robert Macfarlane (@RobGMacfarlane) July 6, 2017

Glacier Melt Visualisation

This nice interactive infographic visualises the ice loss from Switzerland's glaciers. It is one of several from the VisQuill site , developed by Dr. Benjamin Niedermann.

Landscape in a Box - more student examples

Thanks to Jack Marsh for sending me some examples of 'landscapes in a box '. Landscapes in a box is one of the ideas that seems to have gone down the best of the things that I've shared over the years. The basic idea is to create a landscape within a box, perhaps a burger box (but could also be a shoe box) This was featured in 'Teaching Geography' in 2009. Jack used the activity with his groups, and has sent me three excellent images of contrasting images from the students: an Antarctic scene, New York's Central Park, and Paris... Outstanding work !! If you've used Landscape in a Box, why not share your students' work too...
