Sanctuary and the Modern Metropolis | David Maisel’s Aerial Photographs of Sprawl

I’m infatuated with David Maisel’s aerial photographs of sprawl in the Los Angeles metro area. I included one of them in a recent post about infrastructure spending and sprawl, and I’m including a link here for Maisel’s collection, ‘Oblivion’. Will someone tell me why these are so mesmerizing?
