Iconic places and moments immortalized in photographs often remain that way in our memories. When we think of The Mona Lisa painting, we often imagine it hanging in The Louvre. Our first association with Christ The Redeemer is probably a picture taken from the ground or up in the air, not from the statue's shoulder.
But we here at Bored Panda like to show you things from a different perspective. That's why we've collected some pics of iconic places and things that have been taken from unusual angles. Get ready to see famous landmarks, celestial bodies, and simple everyday things like you've never seen them before!

The Moon Passed Between Nasa's Deep Space Climate Observatory And The Earth Allowing This Rare Pic Showing The Dark Side Of The Moon
Robert Beveridge 7 months ago
Funny, I was really expecting all that you touch, and all that you see, all that you taste, all you feel...
We're used to seeing airplanes with seats, so the picture of the inside of a plane without them seems somewhat strange. There are currently no seatless commercial airplanes (those exist only in April Fool's jokes), but plane seat sizes are definitely shrinking.
One aviation expert has calculated just how much seat space has shrunk over the years. Since the 1980s, America's biggest domestic carriers have lost from 2 to 5 inches in legroom space. Seat width has also shrunk by 2 inches. When the Federal Aviation Administration asked consumers for feedback in 2022, many described flying as "t*****e."

My little town, has a population of 2,291. There's no way I could live in such a crowded place... Just going to our capital, Charleston, drives me crazy driving through it.
The "dark side of the moon" is another thing we don't usually see. Although it definitely seems dark in pictures, it's not actually dark. Scientists call it the farside, and the side that we can see – the nearside. Although today, we know what the farside looks like, we will never see it from Earth.
Why is that exactly? As John Keller, deputy project scientist for NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter project, explains, "The moon is tidally locked to Earth." It goes around the Earth at the same speed as it rotates around its axis. So, the same side is always turned toward us.

The backpack that we see open in the picture contains oxygen, a fan that moves the oxygen around the suit, a carbon dioxide removal system, a water tank to cool the astronaut, and an electrical system that powers everything.
Some suits also have a thruster pack that astronauts may need to use to fly back to the space station in case of an emergency during a space walk.

Where's Winter? I don't see any snow. And this looks like something out of Doctor Strange, ngl. Kinda cool, except for Winter not having any snow.
The picture taken on the arm of Christ the Redeemer sure looks cool, but it's hard to capture. Not everyone can just walk up to the statue and climb it. Unless you know someone who works there, the chances to get to the very top of the statue's head are slim.
Inside, there are 12 flights of very fragile stairs that can lead you to the arms of the statue. You can exit through two openings that construction workers use when they have to make repairs.
Still, to make this climb, you'd need the permission from the Guardian of the Sanctuary and the Bishop. Since the Christ statue is a sanctuary, you'd probably have to know someone inside the Church.

That's called a bow tie joint, or a butterfly joint. It's partially inlayed wood that spans cracks or joints in boards to keep them together.

Fire Alarms Are Just Normal Toggle Switches
G A 7 months ago
Well yes. It's just the bar or button is bigger to press in a panic or reduced visibility, and not be turned back off.

Local systems can be turned off. Had one in my apartment that had lots of clumsy visitors. It most certainly could be turned back off, if you can get at the physical toggle. That's how I found out my fire alarm wasn't networked to emergency services.

Our school had dye packs installed in them so they could identify if someone pulled it as a prank.

This is interesting. Where I live they are visible toggle switches behind an etched glass shield. I'd always assumed that US ones were different... more complex, or something like that. Fire-alarm...19e110.jpg

The first time I got to pull that lever (during a fire test) was probably one of the biggest letdowns of my life (no, I haven't led a hard life). I was expecting something more substantial, and it was just like... click. Lame.

You want it to be like one of those old fashioned films where it has a satisfying 'chonk' sound when you push it right over....

The Sphere Up Close

Went to an Eagles concert there - it was AMAZING! No matter where you sat, the sound and visuals surrounded you - such an immersive experience. It's the only reason I'd go to Vegas again.

My company was supposed to do our yearly retreat in Vegas this year! Alas we are Canadian and due to current events we’ve decided to keep our tourist money in Canada. I was really looking forward to seeing the dome but maybe in about 4 years it will be ok to go again :)

Inside The Leaning Tower Of Pisa
Brian Leahy 7 months ago
Apparently, the public are free to enter it and climb it. I visited in 2013 but did not have time to climb to the top.

Went there back in the 70's, climbed to the top. It's a very strange sensation climbing those steps. You really feel the angle of the lean. I was amazed that there are no safety barriers. You can climb right up into the bell tower - or you could nback then.

5.5 degrees in the Nineties, now 3.97. If they keep up with this nonsense there'll be no reason to visit.

I’ve read that there’s little point in going to Pisa since the only thing is the tower.

The Other Side Of A Fast Food Soda Fountain

I used to hate changing these! Just a sticky mess. And, I worked at a Dairy Queen, and I can promise you that the other side of the "ice cream" is a lot worse.

and anyone who has worked foods service knows what a pain in the a$$ it is to change these things out - you would think they would come up with a better system

When I worked fast food, back in the mid 80's. We didn't have these boxes, we had these extremely,tall, and heavy metal cylinders to change out. It took two -three people to change them. I wish we had these.

These things were cake in comparison to the old figals which you hooked up the syrup on the tap and the carbonation on the other tap. Where I worked, this was setup downstairs. We got our truck twice a week. Having those slide down one chute to the inside guy and then the poor b*****d at the bottom of the stairs who was catching the figals coming down a steep chute. We normally got about 40 or so on each truck. Your arms and shoulders were absolute jello by the time you were done. The figals were about the same height as a keg, but it was skinnier. I tried to find the weight online, but my guess would be around 50lbs each. I worked there for just over four years back in the mid ‘90’s. We switched to the bag in a box during my last year there. It was much easier and cleaner to work with. The figals were always sticky as hell and extremely cumbersome.

I was just there in January and definately drove over it, so maybe they opened it up again. Lots of security, though.

"Tiny Desk Concerts" is a podcast by US radio network NPR, where musicians play acoustic concerts at the desk of the podcast moderator, Bob Boilen. The requirement is that the equipment and instruments have to fit behind the desk.

It's in a dry lake bed in northern Nevada, USA. People go to see works of art, experience camping in the desert, meet and interact with people from all over the world. Many people go for the all night Raves and Electronic dance music. Others for the interactive theme camps that give away anything from morning coffee and pancakes, to beer, liquor or art/crafts that you make. The only thing that is sold is ice. There is so much more than i can put in a small reply.
