Hi guys, my better half who happens to be a budding photographer herself, has come up with a great idea. How about using the theme of 'English things abroad', so like here in Germany you can see everything from English products, signs and even a London red bus doing city tours. So what do you think?

Anyway guys have a fantastic new year.

Hello everyone,

As the poll shows most of our users prefer 'The place I live or work in' as their favorite photo theme. So let me start with a couple of pictures where you can see Mr Alexander Birnkammerer of The Agent Factory demonstrating a variety of cell phone applications that run on different phone models such as the iPhone or Android devices.

Please remember that the winner of the contest will receive a product package worth $166 as well as a 60 minute Skype coaching session with a trained native speaker!

To upload your photos simply click on the 'browse' button next to the 'Add photo: box', select the photo from your hard drive and click on the 'Add photo' button. Then you need to wait for a couple of seconds until the photo link appears in your forum post. Sounds a bit complicated but it's pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it.

I look forward to your postings! Good luck, Torsten

It was another beautiful morning with the most lucid sun beams that I can find nowhere except here-my loving backyard home.

Across the river, blue sky is filled with white and feathery clouds. That is an old bridge which is many years older than me because my mother once told me it was the place where my daddy first met her. One of the happiness of my growing -up years was having this place to do things on my own.

Here I am inspired to write some silly stories , paint some pictures and relaxed at the end of the day.
Here I can do everything in my way without being told it is right or wrong or simply I just close my eyes , let the mind wander and dream.
And I perch here after school enjoying the sunset or anything peacefully untill the hunger comes.To me, it is such an ordinary miracle to wallow myself in the quiet,loving and unhurried pleasure that I can feel whenever I am here , my home.
