    I’ve spent some summers in Europe over the past few years. Americans don’t know what you are missing:

    Greece:

    Italy:

    Spain:

        Stock photos because I didn’t photograph getting around from the airport into the cities.

        But many of my actual city photos are shockingly similar all over Europe. Outside of a few streets it’s mostly fake styling. Like in Zurich where the building might look older but then you walk close and it’s poured concrete to look like stone and the store itself is a Starbucks or Sephora.

        Edit for the downvoter:

        This is a view very close the the Acropolis that I walked past several times. (Again not my photo because I photo the “interesting”, not the realistic.)

        But no one shares these photos, it’s always the glamour shots.
