As an activity during the conference we will provide a collection of digital postcards you can easily remix / customize as well as share everywhere. These have been created for us by the amazing @VisualThinkery and the Visual Thinkery Remix Machine.
OEG Postcard 1: A View of Your Local Streets
Share a view of your local area. Yes, we can find tourist imagery of most places in the world, but what does a local street look like (aside from Google Streetview)? Show us a view you know well.
I live in a very small town and the local roads are not paved! But the skies are stunning.
Create your own postcards as a remix of mine- You can upload your own photograph to replace mine, as well as a different image for the stamp. Change the message, the location, the addressee, the sender and remix it as your own postcard.
When done you can Save and Share your postcard (publish to the remixer, send on twitter and/or download to post here as a reply).
The photo was clicked during the times of the Lockdown when the busy streets suddenly became eerie but serene. This click taken from the lobby is almost surreal. The stamp is also from the same location but a beautiful evening sky!
At a time when travel is limited it is wonderful to see these personal postcards from around the world. We can travel in our minds. Here is my postcard from Vancouver Canada.
I live in a small village Malden, close to the city of Nijmegen in the eastern part of The Netherlands. The picture was taken some months ago. This view is not distracting me from working at home, but instead helps me to relax when this is necessary in some cases.
