This photo looks like it's a T.mobile tower. I believe there might be one of these in a shopping center that i can get access to.

National Geographic


It looks like the photo is taken by a shore but it looks like its a cliff and the water is deep. I think of it as a message that it means, that you can be on a safe ground and easily fall off if you don't look or check your surroundings.

I would take a picture of everyone as in all races coming together and holding hands, and them looking like they're enjoying everyones company.

40 Greatest Photos





















 I like this photo because i see two black men standing on the podium,and holding their fist in the air and even one of them got first place. Also, I like that the picture is in black and white. I believe the reason why this photo was one of the top best 40 pictures ever is because the picture shows that anyone can achieve their dreams.

I like this picture because you get the message of why the two people are hugging and look sad. I Also like how the photographer took the photo from a far. I think this photo is one of the best 40 pictures ever because of how the photographer got the message clear.



I really like this picture because you can tell they had a good friendship. In the first picture the have a picture of them when they were younger. Then on the other photo to the right, they took another picture in the same chairs, with the other two photos behind them. And that's why I think it's one of the best 40 pictures ever.
