The picture on the front page of
http://www.infotopia.info changes almost
every day. If you “hover” over “About Photo”
at the bottom of the screen, you will see a
description of each photo. Also, if you “click”
on the words “About Photo,” you will go to a
video or web site about the photo. What is
today’s photo? Did you recognize it without
reading about it? What is your favorite photo?
Share ideas for future photos. We love to hear
from you! Send us an email or contact us via
