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 Back Of The Mona Lisa Painting Photographed…
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. The shape prevents separation even over a lot of time or under stress. They're very efficient and have been used for centuries, but take a lot of precision and skill to execute properly. I suspect there must be a crack forming under that patch.

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.

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.

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.
