We’ve all got a mental image of the world’s most famous places and moments in history. Usually the same ones that we’ve seen on postcards, travel blogs, and our aunt’s Facebook from that one time she went to Europe and really found herself. But what if we told you there’s a whole other side to these iconic spots?
Turns out, a different angle can totally change the way you see things. Whether it’s the not-so-glamorous side of a famous monument, a behind-the-scenes peek at legendary art, or just a weirdly unexpected view of something insanely familiar, these pics kind of mess with your brain in the best way.
Scroll on and get ready to never look at the Statue of Liberty (or an airplane, for that matter) the same way again.
