A short recommendation...

  About two months ago, I discovered a very interesting application on my android phone. It is called, "Flipboard". I am not sure whether have you heard about it but I really think it is an awesome application! It broadens my thoughts and views and brings lots of information around the world to me and make many things so much easier to access! Furthermore, the best part is of course it is FREE!!! ^^
  Anyway just a simple introduction, the application allows you to get different types of informations from news (such as New York Times, Economist etc.) to IT to Style to Food and to even photos around the world including disasters around the world too! So now you may ask, how does it relate to geography?
 
  Here it goes, I found this section named, "Amazing Things In The World". And oh my gosh! The photos inside are all so awesome! Its really so amazing and I love them so much! The photos include travel destinations, sceneries, animals and many more! Sometimes the photos are so beautiful to the extent that you will not believe it exist in the world. Below are some pictures that I could find on the website that are featured in the application.

  Alright, after viewing the above pictures, hope you feel amazed! In my opinion, they are related to geography because they are all the amazing things that happens in the world from natural formations to man-made sculpture to natural disaster to beautiful scenery to the unpredictable weather and to man-made park. Each and every one of those places have they own beauty and are made from the resources we have from the Earth. It is this wonderful and amazing that we have enjoy so much thanks to our mother Earth but question is, WHAT HAVE WE DONE FOR MOTHER EARTH??? Think Hard!
