Politico Magazine published a photo essay called "The art of the interchange," which presents the aerial images captured by Peter Andrew of "the seductive triangle where megahighways meet."

The essay includes images of interchanges like the 1-105/1-110 Interchange in Los Angeles (Andrew says this is his "favorite interchange in the whole world), the I-40/Highway 87 Interchange in Amarillo, Texas (this interchange is an example of a "turbine interchange"), and a few examples from countries other than the United States.

Each image is accompanied by a short blurb explaining the significance of the interchange and the experience of getting the shot.
