Your Imagery Work Break – 2023 Denver Nuggets Celebration Parade

We love maps.

We love imagery.

We love work breaks.

We hope you like them as well!

In 2023, the Denver Nuggets prevailed and won the NBA Championship. Their hometown held a celebration parade for the team, which can be seen in the 50-cm WorldView image shown here. Hundreds of thousands of fans flocked to Civic Center Park to catch a glimpse of the team and celebrate with them. Paradegoer Doug Garcia, of Wheat Ridge, told the Colorado Sun that he’d been waiting for that special day since 1976, the year he was born and the year the Nuggets joined the league.

The parade ended with a victory rally outside Civic Center to celebrate the history-making championship, their first in the team’s 47-year existence. A two-hour parade kicked off at 9AM outside Union Station, as kids danced in the fountain while their parents watched, decked out in jerseys, championship tees and chains. Denver’s mayor at the time, Michael Hancock, estimated the crowd at 700,000 to 1 million people.

For this month’s Imagery Work Break, we feature a WorldView-2 50-cm color enhanced photo from June 15, 2023. It was taken over Civic Center Park in Denver, Colorado where you can see a mass of people in the park, watching the Denver Nuggets celebration parade.

Have a great rest of your workday! 😊
