Here's an exquisitely compelling photo project that is also cleverly thought-provoking. It's a project created by Simon Hogsberg and it is called "We're all Gonna Die - 100 meters of existence." Hogsberg took the photos making up this long collage on a Berlin bridge over a 20-day period in 2007. I found myself moving the cursor slightly off-center so that I could sit back and slowly pan from left to right, a bittersweet journey of several minutes.
More than 190 countries are displaying their culture and architecture at the Expo 2010 in Shanghai, China. The Expo will run until October 31, 2010. My brother-in-law, Dan Jay (who is an architect in St. Louis at Christner, Inc.) kindly allowed me to publish some of his many photos of the pavilions of participating nations; he returned from the Expo only a few days ago. Click on the photos for expanded views.

This exhibit is designed to be a call from the UK to protect our natural species.
