When I first saw this photo, I thought it was amazing! There weren't many photos coming out of Myanmar and this one took the cake. In interviews, the photographer, Adrees Latif says, "For me, as a journalist, the highest honor is that the world will remember this story long after it disappeared from the headlines."

Oil seems to be the precious commodity now, but I wonder where water will be on the world's priority list in years to come. Some think it will be the next great cause of conflicts. Georgia wants to redraw its border with Tennessee in hopes of tapping into the Tennessee River to alleviate its drought crisis, which is sure to ruffle feathers. In less than a month, this region in Spain will start having water shipped in. If there isn't any gas you can bike to work, walk, or even ride a horse, but if there is no water? Not good. How many of you have lakes or rivers near in your area that look like this?

I'm a sucker for falling into the tourist trap and taking pictures similar to this while on vacation. I have pictures of friends holding up the leaning tower of Pisa and my husband appearing to be scrunched in a tiny room at a Puzzling World in New Zealand. What is your favorite spot for making a silly tourist picture?

A photo professor I had in college generally hated pictures of people in front of murals and signs. He'd say, "It's a guy in front of a painted wall. Who cares?" Every time I see an image along those lines, I hear those words in my head. However, I can't help but be drawn to the resemblance this picture has to a Salvador Dali or M.C. Escher piece of work.

I would love to visit Dubai at some point in my life if for nothing else just to see some of the structures that are built over there. Some of the images that come to mind that I've seen from Dubai include man-made palm-shaped islands, indoor snow parks, and an incredible roof-top tennis court that hung over the edge of a building. If they imagine it, they build it and money seems to be no object.

The Obama campaign has forced the country to once again look at ourselves through the prism of race relations. As I read stories and editorials and also listen to people on radio and TV, I cant help but wonder if the idea of President Barack Obama would put the whole issue to rest. If an African-American can ascend to the highest office in the land then does it make the discussion unnecessary? Probably not, but what do you think?

I like to think that events like this make a difference, but the realist in me wonders if it does. It all seems like nothing more than a PR stunt. Did you participate? Do you think we should do more than turn off the lights for an hour? Would you turn off your lights once-a-month for a whole day? Would you do it once-a-week for a year?

I perceive that some of what politics is about is image control. Keeping the candidate and their support networks on message seems vital to success. So, I was surprised when I saw this picture. It seems a little odd that a Clinton supporter would own a Hillary Nutcracker much less think its funny.

When my coworker showed me this, I couldn't help but think about the last scene in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", where the police are arresting the English knights outside the castle.
