Berlin Wall, A Data Visualization

Album photos Collection N#354 When we think about the Berlin Wall, despite having an idea of how its length, we can’t easily envisage its real size. With this question in my mind, I decided to create a computer generated 3D model of the wall compiled together in a single frame. Berlin Wall, A Data Visualization - Image N#1 The “fourth-generation wall” (Grenzmauer 75) , known officially as “Stützwandelement UL 12.11″ , was the final and most sophisticated version of the  Berlin Wall. Begun in 1975 and completed about 1980, it was constructed from 45.000 separate sections of reinforced concrete, each 3.6 metres high and 1.2 metres wide. The concrete provisions added to this version of the Wall were done so as to prevent escapees from driving their cars through the barricades (“L” shape structure).

Amazing artworks, Creativity of Skip's layout is the Arcadia and Betsie River RR

Album photos Collection N#291 Skip's layout is the Arcadia and Betsie River RR. Skip's layout you are greeted by this dramatic gorge scene. Going around the gorge is the second aisle. After crossing the upper trestle, some looping occurs - and the train appears on the bottom trestle. And as all layout visits have to end, I leave you with the Shay's train circling over the gorge. And directly above, a small log loading crane in what I believe is Hill Camp. And here is Skip holding the fully lit roof. And the top deck logging site. And then my ADHD kicked in and I got distracted by a backwoods engine house. And then the end of the layout in two photos (bottom deck lumber mill). Back to the Heisler. Heisler geared locomotive pulls a manifest freight. Here is another view of the lumber mill at the end of the line in Arcadia. ...
