Amazing pictures from the past to help expand the way you see history.

These pictures show the Eiffel Tower being created — despite the fact that some French elites hated it.

Dynamichrome teamed up with Wolfgang Wild to create "The Paper Time Machine," a book featuring digitally colored photographs with beautiful results.

These photos prove everything has always been prettier in Paris.

Adventure photographer Lucinda Grange has been scaling famous buildings and structures taking pictures from the top for the past six years.

These photographers have gone to insanely risky lengths to capture unbelievable photos of attractions around the world.

When we see old black and white photos we sometimes forget the actual moments were experienced the same way we do today.

Take a look at 20 of the world's most iconic landmarks decades before they became the famous destinations that they are today. These rare photographs give us awesome insights as to how these magnificent structures looked like as they were being constructed.

These vintage photos show what the world’s top tourist destinations looked like throughout the 1800s and 1900s.

Some 130 old images have been rendered in colour for a new book called The Paper Time Machine. They show landmarks like London's Tower Bridge and the Eiffel Tower being built.

Tour the Eiffel Tower with Google Earth (03:15) Make a virtual field trip to one of Europe’s most famous landmarks; the Eiffel Tower. You will be using Google Earth to watch an aerial tour of the iconic French structure. The product includes a document of 15 talking points and interesting facts about the famous tourist attraction. It provides a pdf that describes what you are seeing based on the corresponding minutes in the video. This is so you can pause the tour at the given time stamp and let the class know what they are looking at. For example the document says at, “2:36 – 2:49 – You are now looking directly at the monument from atop the Champ de Mars. You can see the tower’s three floors, which each house a restaurant. Believe it or not, a few pilots have actually flown planes through the lower arches. A famous WWII American pilot, named William Overstreet Jr., chased a Nazi pilot through the arches and shot him down as he was exiting the tower.” You will also receive a folder entitled “Spherical Panorama photos of the Eiffel Tower.” This folder contains files that will take you to real world panoramic “street view” photographs of the building and its surroundings. *These were not taken by me and are not to be considered a part of the product. They are only included to help you organize and view the site better. To watch, all you have to do is click on the file, Google Earth will open and you will be taken on a short trip to the World Heritage site. * Your computer must have Google Earth to watch these tours.
