Can you identify these famous landmarks from an unusual perspective?

Eiffel Tower -

Perhaps one of the most famous landmarks in the world, most pictures only show France’s Eiffel Tower from a distance, but here is a fascinating shot of the iconic structure from underneath.

Tower of London -

Among the many landmarks attributed to London, one of them is the Tower of London, a castle that was used as a prison for much of its history. While the outside is remarkable, the Romanesque Chapel of St John the Evangelist inside is equally so.

Burj Khalifa -

The tallest building in the world is certainly an incredible sight to behold. The structure is so tall that it juts out above the clouds when it rains, but if you were to climb to the top of the tower you might find that the view is just as incredible.

Lincoln Memorial -

The Lincoln Memorial can be found in Washington, D.C., and is one of the city’s (and the nation’s) most famous landmarks. But have you ever seen a picture of it while under construction?

Mont-Saint-Michel -

The island commune of Mont-Saint-Michel is well known for the tide that comes and goes, but its isolation becomes clearer once you see how truly far away it is from everything else.

Blue Mosque -

The Blue Mosque is the iconic grand mosque that overlooks the historical city of Istanbul in Turkey. The building is truly a part of the city’s skyline, and is a tourist attraction for thousands every day. But while the outside of it may be beautiful, we argue that the inside is grander.

Great Buddha of Kamakura -

The Great Buddha statue is truly a structure worth visiting at the Buddhist temple in Kamakura, Japan. But while the front of the bronze statue is magnificent, the back brings up more questions.

Table Mountain -

The iconic Table Mountain can be seen in the background of almost every picture taken in the South African city of Cape Town. The silhouette of the mountain is iconic, but hikers would surely agree that the view from the top is even more so.
