You know you've found a popular tourist attraction when you see a statue with a shiny spot. From
Ireland's
Blarney Stone to
Istanbul's "weeping" column in
Hagia Sophia, visitors love any place that has brought luck to others. Today's Photo of the Day, by Flickr user
Kumukulanui, is from
Paris' Montmartre, and of
Jean Marais' sculpture "The Man Who Could Walk Through Walls." Based on a short story, it's believed that if you touch his left hand, you might be able to pass through some walls yourself, or at least take some zany pictures giving him a high five.
Add your lucky travel photos to the
Gadling Flickr Pool and we'll choose the shiniest for a future
Photo of the Day.
