The Christchurch Rebuild

Though we travelled over a lot of South Island, I really liked the penensula and the area around Akaroa.

Great country and people!

Pity this I did not post this earlier , we could have had a stop and a chat and a dinner , Akaroa is another little town that requires a little TLC unfortunately not in the photo yet , heading through to that spot is Little River , a little town and from the hills above a brother who hang glides from there .
 
Here are a few screen shots of the current WIP that covers 4800 square miles.

Looking good :cool:, I have an area which was AGN years ago , Davis Monthan AF base and city .. no record off who did the autogen still looking :mixedsmi: for that chap :icon_lol:

I did a version of DM as part of the Tucson/Pima County scenery a few years ago. My office was just east of the base...a great place to watch the air show without fighting the crowds :) The scenery covers about 70 miles x 90 miles at the widest parts.

This is how my DM looks. The base photo was done at 2m with the airports at 1m.

The photo mayhave been a little old seem to be washed out a little , but well placed AGN and the base made up for that , huge 1.2 gig file . Obviously your like myself and striving to get your hands on a good hi res photo .
 
That's the one. It was the USGS 2005 +/- Pima County orthoimagery.

Color correction can be tricky. I did one of the White Mountains area of Arizona with a 1m USGS Arizona that was basically green and white. The color was awful. I managed to manipulate it into something reasonably decent and was able to get some good photos at KSOW so the buildings at the airport were pretty good.
 
When we went through Little River the wind was blowing about 30 knots straight down the lake! Yes we drove right by Lincoln University heading over to the Banks Penensula from Arthurs Pass.
