Hi Lars, that is a great idea! I don't know if it's suitable for a photo competition aiming at the general public like WLM, but it's at least a great project for a group of photographers!

While adding images to monuments lists and looking through old pictures of monuments, I noticed that this happens quite often "by accident": There seem to be certain views people prefer above all others when it comes to depicting a certain monument (even unknown and small ones). Just one really great example: The first two pictures in the gallery at the bottom of https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alte_Lahnbr%C3%BCcke_(Limburg) were created about 150 years apart and show the same scenery from almost the same angle. I think I will try to reproduce the view of the painting more precisely this summer, thanks for the idea!
