Many viewers can agree that modern life, more especially for the city dwellers, is hectic, and these captures by Sarah Pannell find the stillness in this chaos.

The Street-View series of images by Californian photographer Sarah Pannell from San Jose is a collection of outdoor pictures of [city streets and landscapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-explorers), which allow viewers to see for themselves the common scenes that are an integral part of city life, which is often overlooked.

The Street-View album by Sarah Pannell features familiar cityscapes from [graffiti buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1), shop fronts and busy subways to clusters of office towers, [art museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photography-seoul-museum-of-art) and food carts by the streets, among others. The photos are all very natural, with none of the subjects seeming to acknowledge a camera is looking their way.
