    I like how most of turistic spots are just some big ass shit.

    Pyramids; big ass pyramid

    Crist Redeemer; big ass Jesus

    Liberty Statue; big ass woman

    Eifel Tower; big ass antena

      You’re not wrong, but photographs do not convey just how big ass some of this shit is and how awesome (literally) it can be to experience the scale in person. The first time I saw the Golden Gate Bridge I got it. I had never once in my life up until that point given a single solitary shit about it, but afterward… Wow. And what a monument to man’s ability to throw safety to the wind and build something fucking huge!

        Felt something simmilhar seeing the open sea for the first time.

        It’s like “holy shit man… I’m kinda small”
