2. Two sides of the same map

The posts that will chronicle the Eagle Vision story won't be a chronological unfolding of events. I'll just share as I remember or as I have time to record highlights of the day or week.

While I'm burning to tell about a few more wonderful people I have met on this journey I've been excited to share two snippets; I'll do so in this and the next post.

The current 7 designs available for purchase came after many trials and errors. Many. Some however had a great start in this that I found them in a stock photo library. Due to modifications on these designs and some that were started from scratch I unfortunately gave the designers a tough time. And yet I felt sorry for them for having to deal with someone like me with my sharp eye and anal ways. Initially the Namibian map was only going to have one side showing the Namibian flag colours. The other side was only going to have a solid colour. At first I was okay with the idea of the USB having only one "correct" side, but then the following idea struck me:

This would mean that the sun would always be shining from the left side. But boy did that give us trouble, especially with the animals. It went on and on and on until Ilana suggested we do both sides with the sun shining from the Opuwo area. In the photo of the left the sun shines from Opuwo, but in the photo on the right, the sun shines from the Caprivi. Doing it the "correct way" was however such a mess.

With the animals the sun would shine from the head and on the reverse side it would shine from the animal's butt! Thank you, Ilana for ending that nightmare for all of us involved.

At at the end of it all I can just say that it was an interesting detour.
