World images

Sometimes, pictures are simply amazing. Today, I want to share a few very good images with you. Shockingly beautiful and astonishingly surprising.

London by night by Jason Hawkes, brought to us by the excellent Boston.com “The Big Picture” (news stories in pictures). I try to track daily the exceptionally good photos there.
