Little Boxes - images arranged in a grid


This is a sequence of related images arranged on a grid. It is an alternative way of displaying a sequence of images and has some merits over a slideshow or a video, as I shall discuss in a later post

This image is created to characterize the uniformity of houses on an estate, such as the one where I live. The title is a reference to the uniformity of American suburbia satirized by Malvina Reynolds in her 1962 song "Little Boxes". Hear it sung by Peter Seeger in 1963 on youtube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-sQSp5jbSQ .
