Off to see DC .... as an artiste!

I was fortunate enough to be invited to Washington, by Prof. David Lapola and the AmazonFACE team, to show some of our images and data from the September 2016 trip to the Manaus plots.
Not a tree.
The meeting was hosted by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and I was there primarily as part of the 'cultural', outreach aspect of the project, using our TLS data to show the forest in a new light, to other project partners, policy-makers and the public more generally. Matheus put together the lidar data, and we generated some animations and images which formed part of an installation in the IDB foyer. I was blown away to see the trees in the large banner formats, and in such grand surroundings. The pictures seemed to be very popular - I definitely wasn't the only one taking selfies, honest!
Some fool.

The 4 piece banner and the fly-through Matheus and Phil produced.

It was also nice to be able to get out and about in DC on the last afternoon, to take advantage of the sun and the DC bikeshare scheme (same bikes as London!) to see some bits of DC I've not seen before. I stopped in the leafy quad of Georgetown University - there's always time for a good tree pic.

  3. Super easy, super healthy. You can either juice wheatgrass by itself as a shot, which is typical, in which case you will want a tray per shot per day you plan to consume. I would say roughly 1 tray = 1 shot.
