"I got this animal globe for my niece a while ago to improve her geographical knowledge and learn about animals across the planet. It's a good source of info and great fun.
In this image I lit part of the globe with a blue LED light in an effort to show the freezing weather we have been having across Europe and many other parts of the world". Taken by Sogs Karim
"In this picture you can see the west coast of Senja where the island meets the Norwegian Sea and next piece of land is Greenland. The waves can be massive if the wind come from the right (wrong?) direction. The mountain on the left is called 'Teisten'". Taken by Thomas
"Grangärde, Bysjön: On Christmas day my friend and I went for a walk on the lake not far from our homes in the Central part of Sweden. The day was silent and a low cloud hung over the centre of the lake. Already the track has been prepared for the Lake Race which will take place in the first days of February. The track is marked out by planting branches in the ice as it freezes. Hundreds of us will race on skis around the ten kilometre track. There will be a lot of akvavit drinking too to keep us going".

If Italy becomes one's compulsion, one could be compelled to travel at the pace set by the locals, (gli abitanti locali). They know how to set the pace of life. Here in Cortona once more, an early morning stroll will reveal a little of the culture we have all forgotten. Everything one sees has a smell. Smells rest in the brain and remind us of past pleasures. Cypress, horses, morning air, Italian pretty girls, endless memories.......Italia...". Taken and smelled by M. Benaut
"Big Ben in London when we visited in the summer of 2005. No matter how many times you click pictures of the Big Ben... it looks better each time. The day was overcast, the weather very British, typically sunny and showery... and the Big Ben... Majestic!". Taken by Deeba/Passionate Baker

"There is no city on earth quite like it. To wander the streets and round every corner find a breathtaking view is an everyday occurrence here. Early one evening just as the sun was setting I walked across the Rialto Bridge and looking down the Grand Canal was bustling with water traffic. Truly this is the 'Serenissima' - the most serene city in the world". Taken by Mike
