In many of them the wider picture is far better.

Great perspectives, thanks for posting. Can't help but agree with Ken.
The ones of Mt Rushmore and the Brandenburg gate were the most interesting to me...the former as I've ever seen the wider context before (and it's terrific), the latter because it shows just what's around it

I've seen quite a few in real life too.
Yes, Mt Rushmore actually shows how large the carvings actually are!
As for the Brandenburg gate - it took a while to find it in the wider image!

A nice idea. The one that took me aback (because I haven't been there or seen the context in other photographs) was the view of the pyramids. But no worse, I suppose, than the A344 past Stonehenge -- though at least something has/is being done about that. Can't see an easy remedy for the Egyptian view...

Reminds me of when a friend showed me a photograph he had taken of Niagra falls - somewhere I have never visited. My first reaction was that it must be a spoof montage he had knocked together, but no, there really is a sprawling urban area in the background.

I worked for a week in Giza and never once glimpsed a pyramid, now you can see why
