Urban Earth Day

URBAN EARTH: DAY is a side project of urban earth. The idea is simple, text based and all going well will result in a 24 chapter book. The idea is to gather together a subjective view of our urban habitat through a series of simultaneous global walks. What we sense, feel and think will posted as twitters as we go, creating a spontaneous urban portrait of where we all are. The first walk will take place on a Sunday at 12:00(GMT)... but we will work around the clock. Two weeks later the walk will take place at 13:00(GMT).. until after 24 hours and 24 walks we have 24 chapters of a book... made up of our 140 character twittered thoughts. So you'll need an hour, a city and a mobile phone for this one. How to take part... 1. Set up a twitter account. Have a play. 2. Find a city or urban area. 3. At 12:00AM GMT on 24.05.09 go for a walk. .. If you are in the Solomon Islands, yes - walk at night! 4. Twitter as you go.. feelings, smells, thoughts, prices, ideas, colours, shop names, (ab)n

One of the chapters in the book, which is being worked on right now (available in Autumn) is on the Norfolk landscape. Here are some images I took yesterday around Ringstead.
