Normally I stick to saving interesting sites I find to del.icio.us. You can see the latest finds at the bottom of the column to the right. This site merits a special mention however. It's The Big Picture, a photo blog from The Boston Globe's news site. It collects the best photography from key events happening around the globe with each image comfortably sized to fill your browser window at standard resolutions. Apart from a caption to give a little context there is no story with the photographs, the images are left to speak for themselves. A brilliant idea and one bound to become very popular very quickly due to the quality of the photographs chosen. Check out these images from the Chaiten Volcano erupting in Chile:

Daylife offers something similar to explore, but without the careful choice of a range of pictures, although this one caught my attention.

Thanks, I’ve been meaning to track down a decent sized version of that volcano pic. Or more specifically this one: http://cache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/chaiten_06_0... which I saw in the paper. Awesome shot.
