I downloaded all the 1m dsm composite data from the Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales and used C#, System.Drawing.Graphics and hefty server from AWS EC2 to render 2 million png files, which I then moved onto a Scaleway C1 bare-metal ARM server, to produce this slippy lidar map of England and Wales: https://houseprices.io/lab/lidar/map

Incredible and you can even see ripples on the sea. I was wondering (as I live by the coast) what the deal was with the sea but I see that because they did multiple passes over the area, the tide is at different heights.
