Looking Down on Public Places

Photographed from great height, our amazing parks and public places, both natural and human-made, look like colorful toys arranged on a bedroom floor or the intricate inner workings of some complicated machine. Some are easily recognizable; others, like a picture of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, require a little more effort. All appear first as abstracts before the brain connects their individual shapes and colors into a more tellurian whole. They are from the series Parks and Recreation by Jeffrey Milstein (pictures): http://www.theguardian.com/cities/gallery/2016/jan/07/parks-recreation-america-from-the-air-in-pictures?utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=GU+Today+USA+-+Version+CB+header&utm_term=148458&subid=15193625&CMP=ema_565b
