At first glance, these images look like artworks adorned with striking patterns. But they are actually airport runways around the world, captured by US designer Lauren O’Neil using Google Earth.
From Barcelona to Washington, O’Neil’s photographs offer a new perspective on runways, which are places usually perceived as quite mundane.
“I’ve found even the most humdrum cities or outdated terminals can have beautiful compositions from bird’s-eye,” O’Neil said. “Even Cleveland rocks!”
The intriguing series of images have been posted to O’Neil’s Tumblr page, called Holding Pattern.
