MINI WONDERS OF THE WORLD

WONDERS of the world have been transformed into their mini-versions in a seven-year round the world adventure.

Other outstanding pictures include the Eiffel Tower made to look like a toy over the Paris, the jaw-dropping vista of Machu Picchu in Peru made tiny and while not technically a wonder the fun image of a dreamy landscape invaded by hot-air balloons has been included.By using a photo-processing method called tilt-shift, New York photographer Richard Silver, 51, spent £20K over seven-years to create the eye-popping visual feast from across the planet.
