I have been going through all my parents old National Geographics just to see what there was. It is always nice to just browse and read and look at all the amazing pictures.I got the idea when I finished "Portrait of the Planet" Time magazines "Living Wonders; The marvels and mysteries of life on Earth"

Have to agree with tony... a picture's worth a thousand."100 Photographs that Changed the World" by the editors of LIFE.( I remember viewing them in the original, back when content ruled,instead of... ads. )
