“Northeast quadrant” appears to usually refer to a section of Washington, D.C. Here I mean the northeastern part of the contiguous U.S. (if one were to fold of map of it in half twice, the upper-right part, more or less).

This was generated using data from NASA’s [Shuttle Radar Topography Mission][srtm]. The actual tiles come from [CGIAR-SCI][cgiar]. I used gdalwarp to reproject and combine the tiles:

Shown is Lake Superior and the surrounding terrain, using data from NASA’s Shuttle Radar Topography Mission and [bathymetry data from NOAA][noaa].

The two images are layered using a clipping path of the lake, from Natural Earth’s 10m vector lake dataset.

Hill relief, as usual, was generated using the gdal utility suite.

Faisal bin Turki brought a newspaper to the desk.

"Boulenger, listen to this.

"It says here that an Englishman, Thomas Stevens, has circled the world on a bicycle. Did you hear me, Boulenger? A bicycle! Of course, he had to walk through Wyoming. And he took a steamer from Calcutta to China."

Boulenger nodded. "Not surprising, Faisal! C'est l'exception qui confirme la régle. Most geckos can't fly, after all.

"Now, Faisal, help me with my Christmas card. What should I write?"

Faisal bin Turki sipped from his cup.

"Ah! Boulenger, you must try this! It's like your coffee, but with cardamom and clove. It beats anything you can get in Belgium."

Boulenger tapped his pen. "No hot drinks for me, Faisal! Celui que est lent à manger est lent à travailler. Geckos like to eat their insects in one bite.

"And Faisal, could you help with this Christmas card? I can't think of what to write!"

But Faisal was dreaming of a tree adorned with snow and pink flowers.

Faisal bin Turki prodded the fire with an iron.

"Boulenger, tell me this. If a king is universally acknowledged an excellent statesman, but is eagerly overythown by his own people, is he really all that good?"

Boulenger chuckled. "Faisal, you are thinking of my friend Dom Pedro II."

"Yes."

Faisal bin Turki looked out over the Gulf.

"Boulenger, have you seen anything like our dhows sailing in the evening? I know of a carpenter here who builds them purely from his head. He does not measure. You only tell him it must have a capacity for so-and-so many packages of dates. Yet his are the most beautiful!"

Boulenger was scribbling. "Nature passe nourriture. Faisal, if I told you a lizard was 2.75 inches from snout to vent, with no fifth
