Cologne is the fourth most populous city in Germany, with just over a million inhabitants. Situated on the Rhine River, the city is known for its Cologne Cathedral and numerous institutions of higher education, including the University of Cologne — one of Europe’s oldest and largest universities. Green areas cover more than a quarter of Cologne, which equates to roughly 800 square feet (75 square meters) of public green space per inhabitant.
Cádiz is an ancient port city surrounded by the sea in southwest Spain. Because the city was constructed upon a spit of land that cannot support high-rises, its skyline has not substantially changed since medieval times. A portion of the “Old City,” an area characterized by narrow winding alleys connecting large plazas and markets, is seen in this Overview.
An amazing array of hills and valleys surrounds the small community of Ridgeway in Winona County, Minnesota. Located in the southeastern corner of the state, Winona County is part of the Driftless Area — a swath of North America that escaped all three phases of the Wisconsonian Glaciation. As a result, the terrain here is much different than the rest of Minnesota, which averages out to be the fifth-flattest state in the USA. Interstate 90 can be seen in this Overview, passing through Ridgeway on its 3,200-mile (5,150-km) route from coast to coast.
Here’s a selection of a few images that will be on display at our virtual exhibition for Nearmap NAVIG8 2021! Which one is your favorite?
