British photographer Oliver Curtis captured the reverse side of popular tourist attractions.
Remember, most recently we considered an "expository" collection of pictures about what tour operators show us in the brochures and what we actually see when we get there? So ... We have a new portion of truth!
The British photographer Oliver Curtis, like many other millions of tourists, went to travel to the most important tourist points on the map, expecting to take pictures of all the wonders of the world and the most iconic world sights. Well, and, of course, all his attempts ended in failures, which we warned about. Only Oliver did not stop it, and he found another way to avoid getting into the crowd - to shoot photos from the perspective "opposite".
His project "Volte-face" turned out to be creative and informative, but are we going on a trip to see this ??

3. Oh, yes, until we left Paris, let's see what you will see while you are photographed against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower ...
4. Although the review opened by the Christ-Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro is no less exciting and majestic!
5. Are you ready to see the "reverse side of the medal" - the Parthenon at the Athenian Acropolis?
6. But the view from St. Mark's Square in Venice seems to have come down from Impressionist paintings!

17. Another disappointment - that's what the landscape looks like on the side of the inscription "Hollywood" (Los Angeles, USA)
18. Whatever you say, we did not expect to see this from the side of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican ...

20. While we are admiring the view of Buckingham Palace, the soldiers of the Guards infantry are watching this from their side ...
21. But now you just can not guess where we are ... The Path of the Dead has taken us very far, to the city of Teotihuacan, to the most grandiose construction, erected around 200 - the pyramid of the Sun! What, not impressed?
