Certain spots, monuments, or TV sets are so iconic that they’re ingrained in our brains, and we can conjure their image with our eyes closed. We’re thinking the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Statue of Liberty, or the set of Friends. But have you ever wondered what these iconic places look like from a different angle? These photos show some popular spots and items in pop culture from a new angle you may not have recognized without some context.

#21: Behind the Wheel

The Price Is Right is the longest-running game show on television. Even if you don’t regularly watch the show, you must be familiar with the premise and its iconic wheel. Many people would be thrilled to have the opportunity to stand next to the giant wheel and, even more so, to have the chance to give it a spin!
However, here’s what the glamorous set piece looks like from behind. Hmm, it’s pretty disappointing to see it this way. It’s good that most contestants stay in front of the wheel; otherwise, they may get disillusioned with the process. Although, if they won a cruise around the world, we doubt anything could disappoint them!

#3: Star Wars Opening Crawl

Star Wars is a massively influential movie today, so it can be difficult to recall when it was first made. It was just like any other untested studio movie. It, too, had a budget to stick to and did not have massive special effects. (Yes, today is a very different story!)
So, the filmmakers needed to resort to some fancy footwork to achieve the now-iconic opening crawl of text. Rather than some digital screen work, visual effects photographer Richard Edlund used a tilted hand camera rather than some digital screen work to pan down the introduction slowly. It is a simple way to achieve the shot, but we would have never expected it from such a futuristic movie!

#4: Inside The Leaning Tower of Pisa

#21: Behind the Wheel, #3: Star Wars Opening Crawl, #4: Inside The Leaning Tower of Pisa, #6: Partial Washington Monument, #7: Overhead Image of The Statue of Liberty, #9: The MGM Lion, #10: Lunch on a Skyscraper Beam, #12: Aerial View of the Sydney Opera House, Australia, #13: Full View of The Taj Mahal, #15: Outside It’s Sewer Tunnels, #16: Backstage View, #18: Bright City Lights, #19: The Moment the Iconic Photo Was Taken, #21: The Set of Seinfeld, #22: The Beatles Rooftop Concert, London, 1969, #24: Giza Pyramids, #25: The Cliff from the Chocolate Bar

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is an ornate ,freestanding bell tower constructed between the 12th and 14th centuries. It is such an impressive and gorgeous work of architecture that we suspect it would have been a tourist attraction even if it stood like a regular tower. Unfortunately, its foundation was not solid, so it began sinking, causing it to lean sideways.
Looking at its very decorative exterior, it’s tempting to imagine that the inside is just as beautiful. But check out the inside photo! Unfortunately, the interior is nothing but a plain tube; it’s very dull and disappointing if you ask us. If you want to experience the whole Tower, you can buy a ticket to climb inside the building. That would be a neat experience!

#6: Partial Washington Monument

#21: Behind the Wheel, #3: Star Wars Opening Crawl, #4: Inside The Leaning Tower of Pisa, #6: Partial Washington Monument, #7: Overhead Image of The Statue of Liberty, #9: The MGM Lion, #10: Lunch on a Skyscraper Beam, #12: Aerial View of the Sydney Opera House, Australia, #13: Full View of The Taj Mahal, #15: Outside It’s Sewer Tunnels, #16: Backstage View, #18: Bright City Lights, #19: The Moment the Iconic Photo Was Taken, #21: The Set of Seinfeld, #22: The Beatles Rooftop Concert, London, 1969, #24: Giza Pyramids, #25: The Cliff from the Chocolate Bar

Today, the Washington Monument graces the National Mall in Washington, DC, towering over the city at 555 feet in tribute to our first president, George Washington. It’s in the shape of an Egyptian obelisk, a traditional way of honoring deceased leaders. The monument was proposed after Washington died in 1799 but was blocked by the opposing political party.
The monument was finally approved in 1848, and enslaved people began the building process. However, the money for the project ran out in 1854, so it stood there only partially built for 23 years. The construction relied on donations for supplies, and those donations ran out until interest was revived in 1877. Fortunately, the building could proceed this time without the help of slave labor.

#7: Overhead Image of The Statue of Liberty

Lady Liberty was finally constructed in New York Harbor in 1876, one hundred years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It took a lot of work to make each component of this enormous sculpture and then ship each part across the ocean from France. Then she needed to be put together!
It must have been breathtaking to behold the Statue of Liberty for the first time as she towered over the entrance to the new home of so many immigrants. We are betting many people shed tears when they first saw her on Ellis Island. However, they weren’t as lucky as we are to be able to see this rare view of her from overhead!

#9: The MGM Lion

#21: Behind the Wheel, #3: Star Wars Opening Crawl, #4: Inside The Leaning Tower of Pisa, #6: Partial Washington Monument, #7: Overhead Image of The Statue of Liberty, #9: The MGM Lion, #10: Lunch on a Skyscraper Beam, #12: Aerial View of the Sydney Opera House, Australia, #13: Full View of The Taj Mahal, #15: Outside It’s Sewer Tunnels, #16: Backstage View, #18: Bright City Lights, #19: The Moment the Iconic Photo Was Taken, #21: The Set of Seinfeld, #22: The Beatles Rooftop Concert, London, 1969, #24: Giza Pyramids, #25: The Cliff from the Chocolate Bar

The film was beginning to take off in the late 1920s. Hollywood’s first talkie (a movie with sound) premiered in 1927, and all studios eagerly jumped on board. MGM Studios even wanted to add sound to their intros, and they wanted it to be spectacular. So, naturally, that would involve a live lion roaring at the camera.
Nearly a century later, MGM Studios still features a roaring lion in their introduction. But have you ever wondered how they captured that iconic clip? This picture shows that moment in 1928; these two technicians are trying to film and record a lion roaring. He looks like just another cooperative actor; we hope they were able to keep him happy during the shoot.

#10: Lunch on a Skyscraper Beam

Do you recall that famous photo of construction workers eating lunch on a large metal beam suspended high over the city? It seems such a dangerous way to eat a meal that most people probably assume it’s just designed to look like they’re above the city. But they are!
In 1938, this daring photographer named Charles Ebbets scaled the construction site of the future Rockefeller Center and captured some of the workers on their lunch break. They sure look comfortable on that beam, and Charles looks quite at home, too. We wonder if he knew that he was about to take such an iconic image.

#12: Aerial View of the Sydney Opera House, Australia

#21: Behind the Wheel, #3: Star Wars Opening Crawl, #4: Inside The Leaning Tower of Pisa, #6: Partial Washington Monument, #7: Overhead Image of The Statue of Liberty, #9: The MGM Lion, #10: Lunch on a Skyscraper Beam, #12: Aerial View of the Sydney Opera House, Australia, #13: Full View of The Taj Mahal, #15: Outside It’s Sewer Tunnels, #16: Backstage View, #18: Bright City Lights, #19: The Moment the Iconic Photo Was Taken, #21: The Set of Seinfeld, #22: The Beatles Rooftop Concert, London, 1969, #24: Giza Pyramids, #25: The Cliff from the Chocolate Bar

The Sydney Opera House is a performing arts center located on the shore of Sydney Harbor. It hosts many world-class theatrical performances, but that isn’t what it’s best known for. Instead, the Sydney Opera House is known worldwide thanks to its masterful and unique modern architectural design.
However, looking at this iconic building from overhead, we would have never guessed what building we were looking at. This photo hardly resembles the classy structure we often associate with Australian culture. Now, we can’t help but wonder what many other famous structures look like from unusual angles!

#13: Full View of The Taj Mahal

#21: Behind the Wheel, #3: Star Wars Opening Crawl, #4: Inside The Leaning Tower of Pisa, #6: Partial Washington Monument, #7: Overhead Image of The Statue of Liberty, #9: The MGM Lion, #10: Lunch on a Skyscraper Beam, #12: Aerial View of the Sydney Opera House, Australia, #13: Full View of The Taj Mahal, #15: Outside It’s Sewer Tunnels, #16: Backstage View, #18: Bright City Lights, #19: The Moment the Iconic Photo Was Taken, #21: The Set of Seinfeld, #22: The Beatles Rooftop Concert, London, 1969, #24: Giza Pyramids, #25: The Cliff from the Chocolate Bar

Most people have never been lucky enough to visit the Taj Mahal, but we’ve all seen photos of its beautiful grandeur. It looks like a building out of a fairy tale. Where else would you see a beautifully carved ivory marble building ideally situated at the head of the most magnificent reflecting pool?
The pictures don’t often show us much outside that popular view, so most people assume that the rest of the area around the Taj Mahal is just as sculpted and clean-looking. Unfortunately, however, that isn’t true. The city it’s located in is called Agra, and it is rather primitive with little infrastructure.

#15: Outside It’s Sewer Tunnels

#21: Behind the Wheel, #3: Star Wars Opening Crawl, #4: Inside The Leaning Tower of Pisa, #6: Partial Washington Monument, #7: Overhead Image of The Statue of Liberty, #9: The MGM Lion, #10: Lunch on a Skyscraper Beam, #12: Aerial View of the Sydney Opera House, Australia, #13: Full View of The Taj Mahal, #15: Outside It’s Sewer Tunnels, #16: Backstage View, #18: Bright City Lights, #19: The Moment the Iconic Photo Was Taken, #21: The Set of Seinfeld, #22: The Beatles Rooftop Concert, London, 1969, #24: Giza Pyramids, #25: The Cliff from the Chocolate Bar

Stephen King has been terrifying audiences for decades through his books and films. His story It was published in 1986 and is still capturing the imagination of horror fans. A few movies have been made about his creepy clown killer, Pennywise, and constantly attracts new readers and viewers.
The story’s climax takes place in the sewers under the cursed city. However, the film studio constructed their own rather than hauling actors and crew into actual sewers. We’re impressed with the size and complexity of the design! We suspect the cast and crew were grateful not to be forced to muck about in actual sewer sludge.

#16: Backstage View

Most of us spend our lives as a TV audience instead of being the ones in front of the cameras. However, that means we don’t get to see the bigger picture of what the setting of these television shows looks like. Things are rarely as glamorous as we think they are from the other side of the screen.
We aren’t sure what stage this is, but it looks like something fancy. Perhaps they held a glitzy awards show here. Of course, you would expect the backstage of the Academy Awards to be just as posh as the front of the theater, but we suppose it makes sense that the back is pretty bare. Most people don’t get to see it, so why make it fancy?

#18: Bright City Lights

#21: Behind the Wheel, #3: Star Wars Opening Crawl, #4: Inside The Leaning Tower of Pisa, #6: Partial Washington Monument, #7: Overhead Image of The Statue of Liberty, #9: The MGM Lion, #10: Lunch on a Skyscraper Beam, #12: Aerial View of the Sydney Opera House, Australia, #13: Full View of The Taj Mahal, #15: Outside It’s Sewer Tunnels, #16: Backstage View, #18: Bright City Lights, #19: The Moment the Iconic Photo Was Taken, #21: The Set of Seinfeld, #22: The Beatles Rooftop Concert, London, 1969, #24: Giza Pyramids, #25: The Cliff from the Chocolate Bar

We know that neon lights can be quite bright; they even joked about it in one Seinfeld episode, where Jerry and Kramer want to take Kenny Rogers Roasters out of business because its red light is making them lose sleep. If you have no idea what we’re talking about, you better go watch that episode now.
But, back to this photo, which shows us the two sides of a neon sign. The photo shows a giant Pepsi sign in Gantry Park in Queens, NYC. They really weren’t kidding with that episode; we had no idea neon signs could be this bright. How is this even legal?

#19: The Moment the Iconic Photo Was Taken

#21: Behind the Wheel, #3: Star Wars Opening Crawl, #4: Inside The Leaning Tower of Pisa, #6: Partial Washington Monument, #7: Overhead Image of The Statue of Liberty, #9: The MGM Lion, #10: Lunch on a Skyscraper Beam, #12: Aerial View of the Sydney Opera House, Australia, #13: Full View of The Taj Mahal, #15: Outside It’s Sewer Tunnels, #16: Backstage View, #18: Bright City Lights, #19: The Moment the Iconic Photo Was Taken, #21: The Set of Seinfeld, #22: The Beatles Rooftop Concert, London, 1969, #24: Giza Pyramids, #25: The Cliff from the Chocolate Bar

This is probably the most iconic photo of the world-famous Theoretical physicist Albert Einstein and probably one of the most iconic press photographs of any famous figure in the 20th century. We’re not exaggerating—the tongue photo really is one heck of a famous picture!
Well, this side-by-side picture shows us what happened moments before the iconic tongue photo was taken. It was taken on Einstein’s 72nd birthday on March 14, 1951, when he was leaving his birthday party at Princeton University with two colleagues. As you can tell by the first image, he was quite tired and not in the mood for the paparazzi, and when they wouldn’t leave him alone, he stuck out his tongue out of spite.

#21: The Set of Seinfeld

#21: Behind the Wheel, #3: Star Wars Opening Crawl, #4: Inside The Leaning Tower of Pisa, #6: Partial Washington Monument, #7: Overhead Image of The Statue of Liberty, #9: The MGM Lion, #10: Lunch on a Skyscraper Beam, #12: Aerial View of the Sydney Opera House, Australia, #13: Full View of The Taj Mahal, #15: Outside It’s Sewer Tunnels, #16: Backstage View, #18: Bright City Lights, #19: The Moment the Iconic Photo Was Taken, #21: The Set of Seinfeld, #22: The Beatles Rooftop Concert, London, 1969, #24: Giza Pyramids, #25: The Cliff from the Chocolate Bar

Any Seinfeld fan could tell the set from a mile away. But what if it has been taken from a different angle? The iconic show began filming in 1989 at CBS Studio Center in Studio City, LA, and has been a fan-favorite for decades.
Did you ever think you would see Jerry Seinfeld’s world from the other side? While it is cool and even eye-opening to see the set from this angle, there is also something slightly anti-climactic about seeing the set of your favorite show from the inside and realizing it is just a set.

#22: The Beatles Rooftop Concert, London, 1969

#21: Behind the Wheel, #3: Star Wars Opening Crawl, #4: Inside The Leaning Tower of Pisa, #6: Partial Washington Monument, #7: Overhead Image of The Statue of Liberty, #9: The MGM Lion, #10: Lunch on a Skyscraper Beam, #12: Aerial View of the Sydney Opera House, Australia, #13: Full View of The Taj Mahal, #15: Outside It’s Sewer Tunnels, #16: Backstage View, #18: Bright City Lights, #19: The Moment the Iconic Photo Was Taken, #21: The Set of Seinfeld, #22: The Beatles Rooftop Concert, London, 1969, #24: Giza Pyramids, #25: The Cliff from the Chocolate Bar

Perhaps one of the most significant moments in pop culture and music history, the Beatles’ rooftop concert in London, is famous and influential for many reasons. This memorable concert was held illegally without the necessary permits at the top of a building on Saville Row in London.
However, we have only seen the rooftop concert from a specific angle. Still, this new image has allowed us to see it from a different perspective, and there’s nothing we love more than rediscovering history.

#24: Giza Pyramids

#21: Behind the Wheel, #3: Star Wars Opening Crawl, #4: Inside The Leaning Tower of Pisa, #6: Partial Washington Monument, #7: Overhead Image of The Statue of Liberty, #9: The MGM Lion, #10: Lunch on a Skyscraper Beam, #12: Aerial View of the Sydney Opera House, Australia, #13: Full View of The Taj Mahal, #15: Outside It’s Sewer Tunnels, #16: Backstage View, #18: Bright City Lights, #19: The Moment the Iconic Photo Was Taken, #21: The Set of Seinfeld, #22: The Beatles Rooftop Concert, London, 1969, #24: Giza Pyramids, #25: The Cliff from the Chocolate Bar

We’re all familiar with the Pyramids of Giza, which consist of three impressive pyramids built in Egypt and are considered one of the oldest Seven Wonders of the World. This image shows us the pyramids from a different perspective. It may be hard to guess at first glance, but this is one of the pyramids exactly from above.

#25: The Cliff from the Chocolate Bar

#21: Behind the Wheel, #3: Star Wars Opening Crawl, #4: Inside The Leaning Tower of Pisa, #6: Partial Washington Monument, #7: Overhead Image of The Statue of Liberty, #9: The MGM Lion, #10: Lunch on a Skyscraper Beam, #12: Aerial View of the Sydney Opera House, Australia, #13: Full View of The Taj Mahal, #15: Outside It’s Sewer Tunnels, #16: Backstage View, #18: Bright City Lights, #19: The Moment the Iconic Photo Was Taken, #21: The Set of Seinfeld, #22: The Beatles Rooftop Concert, London, 1969, #24: Giza Pyramids, #25: The Cliff from the Chocolate Bar

This may seem like any other large cliff, but this hiker thought it looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out, they had found the cliff pictured on the Cliff chocolate bar. And they happened to be equipped with the chocolate bar when they made this discovery! We’re not sure how they made that realization, but they must be right; the cliff on the candy bar and the cliff in real life look exactly the same.
