I also don't agree with the author during the first half of the article. If anything captcha photos have an overwhelmingly suburban feel, probably because (I assume) they're taken from Google's street view. The six points listed are all the same: they're photos taken from a car. While aesthetically that's dull, monochrome, and ordinary I can't call it depressing without calling every drive to the grocery store equally depressing.
- egypturnash 5y agoI live in a walkable part of a city and to be quite honest every time I go out into suburbs it’s kind of depressing. Local architecture shaped by tradition and climate is replaced by giant samey boxes. Everyone is isolated in a car, streets are largely empty of anything at a human scale. Greyness and concrete.
