A very fun—and dare I say, personally inspiring?—slideshow in the Telegraph by freelance photographer Michael Hughes puts a unique twist on the overdone we’re-holding-up-the-leaning-Tower-of-Pisa travel photo. Hughes creates optical illusions featuring souvenir replicas of major landmarks, and the landmarks themselves. My top picks include Abbey Road (the street and the album cover) and the Acropolis.

Novices planning to try the technique themselves, beware. Hughes says, “Thankfully it’s actually very difficult to do it properly so nobody can copy me, though they do try.”
