This has gotten me thinking about the art of photographing well-known and iconic monuments. I remember returning from Paris with 100+ boring photos of the Eiffel Tower and immediately chucking any that didn't have my friends in the foreground.
I decided to pour through JPG to find some of new takes on the famous tower. Here are some of the unique images I found:

And what about other monuments? Mathieu Asselin has written a great story about capturing various views of the Statue of Liberty. Here are two of his photos:
Let me know if you've seen any other great shots of famous monuments!
