Space

Digital photography has led to an explosion in photoblogs. "There's a much faster learning curve with digital photography. It's easier to become a better photographer," said Mr Nightingale.

"Photoblogs are very popular in the US, but they are beginning to catch on here," he added. "The beach was quite busy when I took this shot, yet this man was quite clearly lost in a world of his own."

Green Toronto

Sam Javanrouh is a Toronto-based photoblogger who takes daily pictures of his world.

"Photoblogging is a great creative challenge," he said. His pictures have a fascination for shapes, textures, shadows and architecture and give an insight into rarely seen aspects of a city.

This picture was shot through a window at a friend's house. "The surreal feel and the sudden darkness of the edge of horizon are intentional - maybe inspired by the War of the Worlds trailer!"

A poultry seller feeds ducks at a poultry market in Hanoi, Vietnam July 14, 2005. The bird flu virus that experts fear will jump from birds to humans seems to be mutating yet again, and may be able to hide in healthy-looking ducks, thus putting both other birds and people at risk, experts said on Monday. They said the H5N1 virus could kill some ducks after causing only mild symptoms -- which means it could lurk, undetected, in flocks while spreading silently. (Kham/Reuters)

Consolidating U.S. animal disease oversight under one high-level government czar may be the best way to protect consumers from mad cow disease, bird flu and other serious animal ailments that can jump species, a National Academy of Sciences panel said on Monday. The Academy's National Research Council, which advises the U.S. government on scientific and environmental matters, criticized the current animal health system as too convoluted at a time when new diseases are emerging and experts worry about bioterrorism targeted at the food supply.
