A couple of years ago I watched a series of Suburgatory, a TV series that basically poked fun at the American suburbs. [Sidenote: I only recently realised that Elton from Clueless plays George Altman (the dad)!!! He looks so different] The opening credits had this perfectly green, manicured lawn which I think sums up people trying to take control of the countryside.
Back in the summer holidays I was thinking about 'the suburbs' a lot. Living in a town which is in an awkward limbo between the city and the countryside, I gotta say I find suburban problems (normally public transport related) pretty hilarious. These photos were a product of boredom and also the combined seriousness & peace that you get in a place full of commuters and miles of open grass.
