Change of Scenery

Swedish photographer Gus Petro, after a trip to the U.S., got the idea of seeing what it would look like if Manhattan were transported to the Grand Canyon. Thanks to photo software, we can have one vision of it, anyway.

Petro matched up pictures with similar lighting angles and then used the computer to stitch them together in the proper scale. Which means that even the mightiest collection of tall buildings and towers in the country fits inside what is essentially a really deep riverbed, to spare.

A perspective-inducing thought worth thinking.

(H/T Yeahright)
