Whipped weasel

Oh, man, have I had a couple of days of it. Nothing bad, but lots and lots of walking. I’ve discovered I’ve gotten out of the habit of doing things I don’t want to do. Huh.

So I shall leave you with this cool toy. It’s a lidar map of Britain. Given all the ancient earthworks here, there are some fascinating anomalies. You can do neat things like adjust the apparent angle of the sun, or the false colors to read the terrain better.

Try starting here, at Stonehenge. Don’t get excited – the obvious earthwork is the visitors’ center. Look south of there for some apparent round barrows.

Have you ever wanted to stake out a square of ground in your own back garden and start digging?

(oooo! you have a website?)


Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
