24 Mar, 2014

Most of us have seen the stock photo versions of these great wonders of the world and majestic landmarks. Hopefully few of you may have traveled to these renowned places but looking at them few hundred feet back, or up can completely change your perspective than what you see on the tourist brochures.

All these images below are pair of the same object but a change in perspective can change the whole view. The Brandenburg gate and Taj Mahal look majestic in books and on postcards but they look totally ordinary when they aren’t the main focus of the photograph. So here is Postcard vs. Reality version of some of the world’s famous landmarks. Have a look!
