I’ve made similar Droste<\/a>-like maps before that are multi-scalar<\/a>, but this is the first to follow “rules” involved in creating the Droste Effect<\/a>. To achieve this effect I cut out an octagon out of the center of the map and pasted a 34% reduced duplicate of the map within the octagon. This recursive<\/a> process allows for multiple internal repetitions because the source map is very large in size (216 megapixels). <\/p>\n

Because of the Droste Effect, the two zooms above, which normally look vastly different, look almost identical. <\/p>\n
