A vast expanse of identical suburban houses stretches towards distant mountains under a clear sky. Numerous utility poles with wires crisscross the scene, emphasizing the uniformity of the development. Endless rows of small suburban homes, with mountains in the background. Feininger, Andreas. Changing America (New York: Crown Publishers, 1955), p. 138-139.
