The Boston Globe has published some incredible photographs of
Expo 2010, drawing out the theme of "Better City, Better Life".
The Big Picture is a project by the Boston Globe's digital site "inspired by publications like Life Magazine (of old), National Geographic... The Big Picture is intended to highlight high-quality, amazing imagery - with a focus on current events, , lesser-known stories and, well, just about anything that comes across the wire that looks really interesting."
They've captured an amazing array of shots from the Expo, a few which I've reproduced here in completely unflattering size, so be sure to check out the full
album of 37 shots here.
