America from above: Stunning aerial images give unique top-down view of LA and Miami

Forget a bird’s-eye view, this is a God’s-eye view of the stunning symmetry and architecture of man-made America.

The breathtaking images were captured by Jeffrey Milstein for the photo series, Fabricated Landscapes, which features a sky-high views of residential, city, waterside and industrial sites in the United States.
