  42. Wow, I have some pictures of people doing this from when i lived in Italy. it's such a funny sight to see in person...and the pictures do look cool when they work. My room mates managed to get an amazing one of all of them.

    ReplyDelete

  44. Haha! I have to admit, I've done my fair share of posing like this :) I always wonder how many people are walking around in this world with a nice family pic ruined by me in the background...that too, me posed trying to make it seem like the fountain is coming out of my mouth!

    ReplyDelete

  45. I love those kind of pictures. You can see people acting similar to that at almost every sight/landmark. But usually you concentrate to get the best picture for yourself. Next time at a place like that - step back and watch the others =)
    SOOOO much fun!

    ReplyDelete

  46. Yep, I have one of these in my collection of photos from Pisa. You just can't not do it.

    ReplyDelete

  47. HAHAHAHAA! Everyone doing it.

    ReplyDelete

  48. HA! This is priceless. I kind of wonder what's up with that one random person facing the complete wrong direction...hooray for going against the flow:)

    ReplyDelete

  49. Haha! That is so awesome! I always told myself I would never pose like that but I know once I get there I'm going to have to.

    ReplyDelete

  50. I totally have a photo of myself doing that but it is really off so it makes it even better.

    ReplyDelete

  52. SO unpredictable! (NOT!) hahahahahaha!!!!!

    ReplyDelete

  53. Funny! Especially love the girl who's facing the wrong way...I can relate!

    ReplyDelete

  54. I adore this!!! I saw it on The Debonaire recently...

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  61. This just reminds me how lame mass tourism is and how lame people can be.

    ReplyDelete

  62. I had to comment! I have a picture just like this. When I was in Pisa a couple of years ago everyone was doing this and I didn't get why. Finally my husband explained. I had way more fun photographing everyone than I did photographing the tower!

    ReplyDelete

  63. I went to Pisa in the summer and I have to say I did exactly that - it can't be helped!

    ReplyDelete

  65. Silly tourists. I can't say I wouldn't do it if I got the chance to stand in front of it, though...

    ReplyDelete

  66. I laughed SO hard when I saw this. Then I showed it to husband and we laughed together even harder! This is priceless!

    ReplyDelete

  67. heehee. This is very funny! x
