Not the result of road closures, the apocalypse, a zombie scare, or a massive increase in the price of petroleum, this series of car-less highways are the brainchild of photographer Tom Baker . Curious as to what a traffic-less Los Angeles would look like, Baker went ahead and created it. The result is a series of images that are eerily calming.
