Walking around towns and taking photos of their places of interest you may not see the whole picture: the view from the ground doesn't permit you to fully appreciate the scale and geometry if architectural memorials.

The Russian AirPano team of photographers rises to the sky to show you different places of our planet from above.

It's incredibly dramatic up close and just as dramatic in the landscape. It's such a standout compared to its Lego neighborhood.

Imagine Napoleon coming down Champs-Élysées through the Arc de Triomphe (a wooden mock-up then). Beautiful layout.

It might look beautiful, but the thought behind the design of the Parisian avenues was pretty sinister. They were built so that a small military force easily could control large parts of the city from a single point. Think how difficult it would be for a large mob of angry Parisians to move anywhere without soldiers getting a clean shot at them from a position at the Arc de Triomphe.

The Arc de Triomphe is nowhere near the center of Paris... The Parisian avenues have their current look due to Haussmann who enlarged a lot of places, namely to fight against insalubrity and diseases.

Amsterdam has many more charming neighborhood. I'm intrigued that the artist chose this orderly albeit industrial-like neighborhood.

I live in Budapest and in my opinion this is the ugliest things-to-visit-as-a-tourist place. It's called heroes' square but it's just stone on top of stone
