Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of escaping your hometown, and I decided to see what happened when I escaped inside the depths of a suburb instead. I found the following eerie and fascinating places, where the symmetry is almost too perfect, the streets are still and silent, and the wide open spaces can make a person feel totally insignificant. Thanks to Zachary Trevitt for assisting and modeling.

Whoa the ENTIRE photo set is just solo cool. I especially love the idea of symmetry plus the wicked contrast of colors pic 6! Thank you, Beth
Oh my god! the symmetry in these pictures is so perfect. I think the description is quite fitting. It reminds me of Arcade Fire’s album The Suburbs.
Wow it looks like a Wes Anderson movie!
Which city is this?
Hey this is Beth Dunne here, this place is like a weird miniature town in Worcester Park in South West London!!!
