Take a look...

March 24th

Everyday I check out a couple of photoblogs. The first is Daily Dose of Imagery; a Toronto based photographer who always has incredible shots and often times they're of Toronto scenes. The other is The Big Picture; it's a compilation of pictures taken from various sources and are always fantastic. Below are some of the most striking pictures I've seen in the past few weeks. Enjoy!

Hi Jason!
Thanks for your note at our blogspot! Well done - to find us there! :-)
How are you?! Well, guess we could just read your blog to find out!:-)
Life in Iringa is good... Lots of rain these days so everything is green and wonderful! This week is Africa-week at The Danish School, so we cook ugali & beans etc., learn about the culture, the continent and so on! It's quite interesting! :-) Bless you! - Inge :-)
