The visual style of director Wes Anderson is unique and distinctive.

If you've watched the film Grand Budapest Hotel, you'd probably have noticed the aesthetically pleasing pastel hues and its slightly retro quality. The muted colours also offer a whimsical perspective, suggesting childlike innocence.

And there are places in Singapore that could very well have made it into a Wes Anderson movie.

In an "Accidental Wes Anderson" subreddit forum, people are sharing photographs of different places in the world that look like they could be part of a Wes Anderson film.

 

Singapore's entry

Given its bubblegum-pink walls, Redhill MRT made its way to this subreddit.

These are the original images that were shared:

Nguan is a Singaporean photographer who gained a sizeable fan following on social media because of his trademark pastel-hued images of Singapore's urban landscape.

Here are some other photographs taken by him that we think would fit right in with the quirky Wes Anderson aesthetic:
