This is a Hold Up!

Are you familiar with the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Oh, you’re not? Well, let me describe it for you so you can get caught up.

It is a tower. It is in Pisa, Italy. It is leaning over.

The only other thing you need to know is that tourists freaking love to take pictures with it. In fact, they all like to take the exact same picture with it; a picture where they use the power of perspective to make it look like they are holding the tower up. Below are some fine examples of tourists holding up the leaning tower of pisa.

Not everyone chooses to hold up the tower with their hands however. Some tourists take advantage of leverage and their greater lower body strength and hold up the tower with their feet!

Not as cool from the wrong perspective

Perhaps the best part about dozens of tourists all taking the same picture at the same time every day is the crazy scene of everyone posing for their own cameras. At any moment you can see several people striking the hold up pose, and when you take a picture of them you get pure visual gold.
