Some images are so seared into our brains that we can picture them with closed eyes. However, unless you’ve ever seen some of these places or things in person, you’ve only seen them from one particular angle. What happens when that camera gets turned, and you see something you know very well from a different viewpoint? It helps you learn more about the background story of these iconic images and places and lets you see the bigger picture. So come along as we look at iconic historical photos from a different angle.

In case you ever wondered, Bert and Ernie were completely human-powered! Even their hands were just human hands disguised as puppet hands. Notice how it took two puppeteers to operate Ernie!
