The sunrise illuminated the face of the statue of Ramesses II in Egypt’s Abu Simbel temple on Thursday, something which happens only twice a year. Hundreds of tourists from different parts of the world came to witness the event.

    The more I travel the more I realize that people travel for different reasons and a lot do it as a thing to check off the list and show off to the people back home.

      Sure seems that way.

      The last time I visited MOMA there was a crowd taking pictures and videos with their phones in front of Starry Night, and I honestly wanted to ninja kick every one of them.

        When I went to The Louvre, I took a picture of the Mona Lisa, with my phone, through the viewfinder of another person’s camera.

        Tbh I’m kinda proud of that shot, even if I can’t find it anymore.
