Yesterday, I downloaded the National Land Cover Data for 2016. I had some older data but I hadn't updated it in years, but soon realized I could make some very interesting maps and graphics with this data. The Finger Lakes are kind of interesting to look at in particular as you can see the Northern Finger Lakes have a lot of cultivated lands -- mostly corn and soybeans -- for feeding dairy cattle, while the more upland and rocky lands in the Southern Finger Lakes are either wooded or pasture.
With the addition of the SSD drive to my laptop, I am able to process large digital elevation model files much quicker, so I've been playing more with hillshades of mountain ranges and making colorful pictures of the terrain below. This image shows some of the terrain in the lands west of Dannemora in Clinton County mountain country.
