myPics: Old and New
I was reading a Budget Travel article, 25 Most Photographed Places on Earth, that sites the work of Cornell researchers who "analyzed 35 million Flickr photos and discovered that we all shoot the same places—from the same angles."
In reading the piece, I quickly learned that Dublin was on the list, but surprisingly I had a new - and not clichéd - angle for Ireland's most photographed place.
Budget Travel counts down the top 25 locations and give tips from the magazine's photo editors for ways to shake up things in taking the world's most photodocumented sites.

I caught a good tip once from the Economist about visiting Paris. Many tourists wait in the long lines to go up into the Eiffel Tower, but of course you can't photograph the thing FROM there. They suggested going instead to Montparnasse Tower, an ugly modern building not far away, which has a roof observatory with great views of classical Paris:

Bonus: You can't photograph Montparnasse Tower from on top of it. :-)
I love tips like that - doing things that aren't the usual to show people where you were and the moment that you were in.
Plus, you got yourself a great picture of the Tour Eiffel without the eyesore of the Tour Montparnasse in the way.
Bravo! And thanks for sharing.
