The Big Picture

Some of you may know this site since many of you are coming out of Boston. But if not...pull your heads out of the sand children, for it is time to see the world through Boston.com's photographic collections of Worldly happenings!! I love this site because they cover so many events around the world with some amazing high quality images. Topics include, The King of Tonga, the Conflict in Georgia, a Royal Funeral in Bali, and previously uncontacted Brazilian Tribes! Check it out to get your daily dose of Worldliness!! A warning though. Some of these images can be a little grim, and even a bit depressing. I just enjoy them, because it adds so much to the bigger story. Often times when I read the news, I get a small image, or no image at all with the article.

Now unfortunately, they only archive a few months back. That or its new. If it is not new, than these links may be dead after a few months. Even still, new content will surely be added. So enjoy them now when you can! Here are some of my favorites.
