Palladium Boots has a cool series called “Uneven Terrain” that explores some of the man-made odd-modern landscapes, that are simultaneously strange yet interesting from an anthropological standpoint. The scars of the industrial revolution to be navigated by today’s explorers. Recently, they went in search of oil underneath Los Angeles, which is already pretty “meta” if you live here.

“Twenty billion barrels of oil sit beneath Los Angeles. Hidden in plain sight, thousands of wells pump day and night all over the city covered by hollow office buildings, camouflaged next to high schools, and concealed behind shopping malls. We put on our boots and went exploring.”
