I’ve got a nice search form here, but sometimes I want to search for something I blogged a few weeks ago and having a simple list of posts would be useful.

Mapping A Rainy Day in Paris / / No Comments For day 2 of the #30DayMapChallenge I’ve created an animated Map of A Rainy Day in Paris. Obviously this one isn’t a map but it does use the Leaflet mapping library, GeoJSON and uses animated polylines. What you can see in my ‘map’ is a partial recreation of the painting Paris Street; Rainy Day by Gustave Caillebotte. You can see the painting itself on this instance of my Leaflet-IIIF-GeoJSON Maps Mania… more → Posted in: Interactive Maps Tagged with: Mapping, Paris, Rainy
