Population density within 25 km of Lake Geneva (Lac Léman)

1. I made this in R using the rayshader package (code and original video [here](https://github.com/Pecners/rayshader_portraits)). Data from the [Kontur Population Dataset](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/kontur-population-dataset). This dataset estimates worldwide population in 400m hexagonal geometries using a combination of “GHSL, Facebook, Microsoft Buildings, Copernicus Global Land Service Land Cover, Land Information New Zealand, and OpenStreetMap data.” The map is presented at an angle to better illustrate heights.

   I also made a live-coding tutorial for how I make these maps, find the video [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgFXVhmKNbU).

   I’m more active posting this kind of stuff on Twitter, follow me there if you’re interested ([@MrPecners](https://twitter.com/MrPecners)).

   I’ve also posted other states on their respective subs, see my other maps on my profile: u/Pecners.

2. When the shadows are stationary, it looks like they are vertical extensions of the peaks. Only once they start turning did I get what was happening.

3. Please do one for Lake Constance

4. why’s it spinning tho

5. Whaaat the shadows are turning inconsistently

6. Nice maps, I checked out your twitter and particularly like the ones showing population along a river. Have you considered making a map showing the population within the [path of totality for a solar eclipse (Map)](https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/z09wpe/the_2024_solar_eclipse_is_fast_approaching_start/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)? I think that would be cool to see. Bucks in Six.
