Hi Everyone! :D

In this week's Live Mapping session Ralf will create an overland map with the Black & White style from the 2008 Cartographer's Annual (Vol 2), while updating the style in the process.

This is an excellent opportunity to pick up useful information if you ever decide to duplicate and modify an existing style for yourself.

Come along and join in, or watch the recording later :)

Think I've got it now.

A reedbed isn't as dense as it looks from the side. You can see the mud between the stems in overhead photographs, which means I can use Symbols in Area and allow sufficient spacing to keep the number of symbols down just a bit.

And there will be burnt out buildings as well, if there is time.

This evening, though, I got distracted by the idea of reed beds for the marshy/boggy/swampy areas that were requested. Not quite there, but close, I think

I've turned it into a bonfire and made some other fires for other kinds of things.

There will be smoke as well - when I am happy with the look of it.

That's really interesting Calibre! It's nothing like the image I've been building in my own imagination.

I can see this is going to be quite a prolonged project.
