    The shadows from the buildings really gives the city some exciting depth. Even the small trees really pop out at the viewer.

    I would like to point out though that in maps the normal convention is to have the sun in the north-west corner of the map so the shadows travel from from top-left to bottom-right. Unless the map is meant to represent a specific time of day most cartographers use the standard convention.

    Still a really nice and colorful map.

    I know! Thing is, I'm a bit of a stubborn idiot, so I go for the north-east corner instead, not just here but in several of my maps. It's either complete foolishness or "my style". Probably the former
