Picture Book

When I was a kid I looked forward to Life magazine being delivered because it was full of pictures that gave me a wonderful window on the world.

The Internet is so much better. And one of my favourite "windows" is the photo blog The Big Picture: News Stories in Photographs by Alan Taylor that appeara on the Boston Globe newspaper's web site. It beats Life magazine ten times over.

Here's their spread on China's celebration of the 60th anniversary of the revolution.

Of if you prefer a glimpse at Oktoberfest in Germany.

Or a commemoration of Sept 11.

This site is a jewel.
