Boston.com The Big Picture has put together a year in pictures, well worth a look. Its split into three parts, the third should be published today at some point.
Click here for part 1
Click here for part 2
(Part 3 coming soon)
My personal favourite from part 1 is the US Marine using his body as a shield to protect the Afghan man & his child. In part 2 the aerial view of the sinkhole is pretty insane :eek: There's some great photos there, some sad ones too

Seriously though, take the warning on #33 on page 2, that is gorey!
In the video

I can't work out if that guy by the blue car is either stunned or......meh....
Here's part 3
The capture of the female US luge (athlete/boarder ) was very good. #17
The ones of the Poles around the cross and the man walking over the dead bodies of the Haitians were very sad.
I liked the photo of the new year from London though.
I know I shouldn't lower the tone of the thread, but I couldn't help shouting THIS IS SPARTA out loud.
Cheers! Will add the link to the first post now
Or maybe not.. I didn't realise you can't edit posts after a certain time...
Karma in action
Even better was when I linked up to Russia in colour 100 years ago http://boston.com/bigpicture/2010/08/russia_in_color_a_century_ago.html
It does feel like you have stepped back in time, they look so 'now' at first I thought they were fake.:o
Those photos are amazing :eek: everything seems so peaceful..
The one with the army men shielding the man and child made me cry as did the old man saying goodbye to someone on the bus
And number 34 is the stuff of nightmares...
Part 2 number 7 kicking the ball is very evocative.
Part 2 number 13 - the moon - it looks like it's the size of a football! I think because the background isn't obviously Saturn.
Great Glasto image number 31 - off to post that on another forum.
and yep, wow to the sinkhole at 35! great use of scale and composition to show off how bizarre and big it was.
part 3
Gotta love the miners' message at number 3. Favourite story of the year, if not the decade.
the olives at number 13, is quirky but cool.
and the very recent number 31, policemen on Westminster Bridge, could end up being an iconic image of our time (slap to the copper on the right with his shield the wrong way up though, I'm sure Photoshop would have been too tempting for me if it was my photo)
some amazing pics!
The photos are stunning.
Memorable images noretheless.
The volcano is the first pic in collection 2. One of the best images in my opinion.
There's a video as well of it.. Truly shocking.. Hard to sympathise with him though :rolleyes:
