The above photo was taken on Lake Couchiching (off Lake Simcoe) with a DJI Mavic Mini.
Here is the before straight from the drone.

And here is the after with my Lightroom edits. I then cropped it to a 4x5 aspect ratio because wide landscape photos don't show well on Instagram.

For me, this scene is a reminder to remain bullish on cities. Take people out of the city. Put them on boats in the middle of a large lake. And they'll still find a way to cluster together.
Why? Because humans are social creatures.
Barcelona is one of the densest cities in Europe. And Márton Mogyorósy's recent photo series, called Barcelona from above, does an excellent job of demonstrating that. My favorite photo is this one here, showing La Barceloneta neighborhood adjacent to the beach:

None of the buildings are particularly tall (maybe 6 or 7 storeys at the most), but the streets are probably only about 6m wide, including sidewalks. This is one way that you can achieve density without height and it is a good example of what I was getting at in my post, European-style height, but not density.
