I'm so excited to be in the messageboard again : )
I found a really interesting site, that maybe you have heard of. It's called PICTORY. It's organized in different themes. People submit a pic that matches the theme and a story behind it. For example, one of the themes is "The One Who Got Away". Here's one of my favourite pics of that theme:
Burma Beau
Though things didn’t work out for us long term, our time in Asia left me with the fondest memories of life and love. I was standing in line at a bank in Bangkok, absentmindedly humming a BeeGees tune, when a young man next to me started humming the tune with me. He noticed my US passport and asked me where I was from. When I answered “Glenwood Springs, Colorado,” he blinked and said “I live in Glenwood Springs.” We muttered to each other how weird that was, then discovered we were both getting money to book the same flight to Burma six days later. We fell in love during our month-long journey through Asia. Finally, Beau had to leave, and I followed not far behind. Back home, we were practically neighbors, and continued our relationship for almost two years before eventually drifting apart. But we know we were meant to meet — it was as if we had already lived a life together.
(sorry about the pic size but one of the requirements is that they have to be big :)
Do you have a pic with a (interesting/funny/serious/sad/ridiculous) story behind it?
Here's mine
Almost 2 months ago I traveled with two friends to the US. We were in NY and decided to travel to Philadelphia to see John Mayer play live. We arrived at midday and the concert was at 7 pm so we had a lot of time to chill out before it and just do nothing. It was sooo hot that day. We got to the National Constitution Center and sat on that beautiful grass and just lied down and rested. All of the sudden one of my friends took her camera out and started taking pics at us. We started to laugh so hard that it lasted minutes. Here's one of the pics that captured that moment.
