Yesterday I posted a curt tutorial on creating animated movies using aerial imagery from Google Maps. Today mortal was form plenty to straight me towards Keith O’Faoláin's animated pic of the Irish Gaelic border, Oh Border Where Art Thou.

One number of the UK's piece of employment out from the EU could move the reintroduction of a hard edge betwixt the Republic of Republic of Ireland together with Northern Ireland. Oh Border Where Art Thou is a groovy visualization of how hard this chore would be. The animated pic scrolls along the electrical current edge using Google Maps aerial imagery.

Watching the pic it is rattling apparent that the electrical current edge is rattling 'soft'. There are rattling few hard geographical barriers betwixt the Republic together with Northern Ireland. Mostly the edge merely follows roads together with fields. If a hard edge does bring to move created it volition examine rattling expensive together with nosotros volition likely bring to inquire United Mexican U.S. to pay for it.

You tin explore the edge farther on the Irish Gaelic Times' Explore the Border. This interactive map highlights unopen to 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 together with highlights how a hard edge would non alone move hard to implement but would move quite an ugly scar on what is a rattling beautiful country.
