Since the advent of portable commercial cameras, people have taken quirky, fun and even horrifying photos with historical monuments. Tourists flock to the Taj, the Great Pyramids at Giza, as well as countless other temples and statues in order to recreate the scenes that they have seen on postcards and movies.
You won’t find many postcards that show a statue grasping the tail of a plane. This is not the welcome appeal that most cities strive for. Don’t forget the next time you fly with United Airlines to check the box for “statues coming to life”. It’s probably there for a good reason.
