This print showcases a satellite image of Cologne, Germany, providing a stunning aerial view of this vibrant European city and its surrounding area. The city itself is prominently located in the center of the image, with the majestic River Rhine gracefully flowing through it from top to bottom. The contrasting colors beautifully depict different land uses: dark green represents lush forested areas, lighter shades of green and brown symbolize agricultural fields, while urban areas are depicted in grey.
