Inspiring/ Interesting Images

I've started searching for sources online that will inspire me, and hopefully my students, into researching some new green technologies. Yesterday I came across this blog site called Web Urbanist, and thought, why not share this blog with my other blog?

The images can be thought provoking, and if nothing else, beautiful. We can use this site to find stimulating images to either start conversations, or as a resource for students who are examining urban systems and development. Another idea would be to have students use some "abandoned cities" photos and apply that to Canada's resource based economy. Possibly even tie that into the mining communities that have fallen away in B.C. Just brainstorming here....

It's rare to find such a variety of quality images, so take advantage!

Jill that website is sick (as in good). I especially enjoyed the abandoned architectural wonders. I would love to have pictures like these all around my class. I thought these types of images would work great in the Language Arts class too...maybe some free writes on certain images, stream of consciousness or in a poetry unit.
