Someone drew the Tube map on an aerial photo of London and it's totally mesmerising
When you take a photo from an airplane, the last thing you'd expect is for a complete and utter stranger to draw a load of squiggly lines over it. But, then again, the internet never fails to defy our expectations.
Twitter user @DJSantero uploaded an aerial shot of London to Imgur that he'd taken from a plane. To his delight, someone took his photo and transformed it into a 3D map of the London Underground by drawing Tube lines over it.
Here's a look at the original photos posted by Santero on Imgur.
