نشرت صحيفة «ديلي ميل» مجموعة صور التقطتها المخرجة لورين أونيل، عبر تطبيق خرائط جوجل، لمطارات حول العالم وأظهرت الصور البانورامية المطارات وكأنها هياكل عظمية ترتبط فيها العظام والعضلات والأعصاب وحتى الأسنان بشكل معقد.

وأوضحت الصحيفة أن «أونيل» قررت الاستعانة بتطبيق «جوجل مابس»، بعدما ألهمتها التصميمات المعقدة لمطارات مختلفة حول العالم حالفها الحظ بالمرور منها أو إليها، فقررت التقاط صور علوية لها باستخدام التطبيق الإلكتروني.

وشملت الصور، التي رصدها «جوجل مابس» مطارات مثل مطار هيثرو لندن، وزيوريخ، ومطار ويلينجتون، ومطار جون إف كينيدي الدولي، وجميعها أظهرت المطارات على شكل جسم بشري تتصل أجزاؤه وتتكامل وظائفها بشكل عال من التعقيد.

Elsewhere, the clinical look of Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport and planes, captured from above, resembles strips of veins and nerves. It is located seven miles (11 km) south of the central business district of Atlanta, Georgia and has been one of the world's busiest airports since 1998. Many of the one million flights that take off and land are domestic flights

The markings painted onto the runways of Wellington International Airport (pictured) resemble the lines drawn on cosmetic surgery patient's skin. Dotted white lines are cut through with solid yellow markings that show where planes park, turn around and take off from. Its close proximity to one of its car parks is visible in the top right-hand corner

Although many airports in the collection feature parallel and straight lines, Newark Liberty International Airport stands out because of its curved design. It straddles the municipal boundary between Newark and Elizabeth in New Jersey. As a result, the airport is owned by the city of Newark but operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey

The sparse nature of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is revealed in one image, where the shape of the runway and the airport resembles an elephant and its trunk. It covers only 6.6 square miles (17 sq km) and has just two runways and three helipads

John F. Kennedy International Airport (pictured) was originally called Idlewild Airport after the golf course it was built on. It was designed to relieve LaGuardia Airport in Queens, which was crowded soon after opening in 1939. Over seventy airlines operate out of JFK and it is the base for JetBlue Airways

Aerial shots of Logan International Airport (pictured) make it look more like an intersection on a road, than an airport. Its parallel runways resemble arm and leg bones, and the airport is situated next to the port in Boston, Massachusetts

The shape of the terminals at Denver airport look like planes themselves, with long stretching buildings, resembling the wings, and centre foyers that look like the cockpit. At 54 square miles (139 sq km), it is the largest airport in the U.S by total area, and runway 16R/34L is the longest public use runway in the country

O. R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg (pictured) is one of the darkest images in O'Neill's collection. It is also the only one to show clouds above the runways. The airport is one of the few in the world that has non-stop flights to six inhabited continents, others include Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Doha International Airport
