15+ Pics Worthy of the “Book of Wow”

The interjection “Wow!”, used to describe surprise and admiration, has Scottish origins and it can be traced all the way back to the 1500s. Hundreds of years later, we still use the same word whenever we see something amazing and we can’t find another way to describe what we’ve just experienced.
