Yesterday I posted a curt tutorial on creating animated movies using aerial imagery from Google Maps. Today soul was sort plenty to straight me towards Keith O’Faoláin's animated pic of the Irish Gaelic border, Oh Border Where Art Thou.
One effect of the UK's leave of absence from the EU could hold out the reintroduction of a hard edge betwixt the Republic of Republic of Ireland as well as Northern Ireland. Oh Border Where Art Thou is a swell visualization of how hard this chore would be. The animated pic scrolls along the electrical flow edge using Google Maps aerial imagery.
Watching the pic it is real apparent that the electrical flow edge is real 'soft'. There are real few hard geographical barriers betwixt the Republic as well as Northern Ireland. Mostly the edge only follows roads as well as fields. If a hard edge does accept to hold out created it volition essay real expensive as well as nosotros volition in all likelihood accept to inquire United Mexican U.S. of A. to pay for it.
You tin flaming explore the edge farther on the Irish Gaelic Times' Explore the Border. This interactive map highlights about of the vehement edge incidents which occurred during the Troubles. The map likewise shows Google Street View images of each mapped crossing on the border. This allows you lot to explore the edge for yourself as well as highlights how a hard edge would non alone hold out hard to implement but would hold out quite an ugly scar on what is a real beautiful country.
