Friday Foto Flogging

Welcome to Friday Foto Flogging, a place to share your photos and photography news. We were inspired by the folks at European Tribune who post a regular Friday Photoblog series to try the same on this side of the virtual Atlantic. We also thought foto folks would enjoy seeing some other websites so each week we’ll introduce a different photo website.

This week’s theme is P

Website of the Week: Life Magazine Photo Archive on Google — millions of photographs from the LIFE photo archivefrom the 19th century to today, many of the photos never published and available for the first time.

olivia's Friday Not Random Three — Joni Mitchell Edition


And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all
