A 3d model of mountainous terrain showing a sinuous valley with its surrounding peaks. Titled: 'Val di Genova, Parco naturale dell'Adamello-Brenta' credits: 'by:tlohde / Copernicus Global DEM (ESA)' Labelled peaks are: Cima Presanella (3557 m), Monte Mandrone (3283 m), Cima Lancia (2318 m), Crozzon del Diavolo (3018 m), Corno di Lago Scuro (3164 m) & Cimon delle Gere (3016 m)
On the left-hand side is a 4 x 5 grid of circular maps showing the city centres of each of the twenty regional capitals of Italy. Only polygons of parks and gardens (green), buildings (white) and piazzas (red) are shown. Above each circle is the city title, with the region name below. On the right-hand side is a map of Italy, showing the regions (in red) and the regional capitals are labelled in green. The whole figure has a black background.
On a black background are many many, small wiggly lines, the lines are coloured by the direction in which they go, using a circular colour map. If you know that the lines depict where water would flow over a landscape, and that the colours correspond to the direction, one can see how this does resemble terrain, with lower elevations and river valleys depicted as empty space, and ridges are where the lines of different colours meet. It is messy and quite abstract
