    Link NASA is your friend.

    I thought I’d add one of my favourite mapping sources in here. The real world!

    MODIS Rapid Response System

    MODIS (NASA) takes 2 full sets of satellite images of the earth every day. They are also nice enough to share with the world. So you can download any image you want and use it as long as you source them for the image.
    I regularly use them to create maps like this. (See attached)

    Just go to Gallery and write in your country of choice or go to real time, pick a day and see what was happing on that day.

    I also thought that some of the GIMP experts around could change some of the images into brushes. I’m just a beginner in GIMP so doing that is a bit beyond me.
