WONDERS of the world have been transformed into their mini-versions in a seven-year round the world adventure. From ancient wonders like the legendary Acropolis of Greece and the stone heads of Easter Island to modern icons such as the famous Brooklyn Bridge in New York and London’s Houses of Parliament – these are the mini-monuments that will dazzle you. 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.
