Description Had this hidden on my computer and decided to share it. I super imposed Lowell's canal map of mars on the actual map and deepened the red tones.

I can't help but wonder what the ecology and functioning of such a world would be.  A world like Earth but mostly desert, but with canals and lakes. I can't seem to conceptualize the water cycling. Where does it come from and where does it go. I know that evaporation would happen, obviously but... there's so much to consider.

It's a compelling image though, a desert world come alive through a system of canals. Even if it isn't what Mars is, it's an interesting idea.

Interesting correspondence of the features. How did you choose how to position his map on the real one?

Well the easiest part was using Hellas as the bulls eye.

The hard part was re-drawing all the lines from a subpar jpg I found a long time ago.

I'm surprised you found this image. I found your comics a long time ago when I followed a picture link of one of your space craft. Thx for the visit.
