Now granted, the example I gave might have been extreme but I stumbled across this link last week prior to leaving for a three day conference in San Diego - Tough life, I know - Here is the link:

For this article Yahoo cherry-picked some of the best examples shared in a blog; the link to which I have also copy-pasted below - But be forewarned, it is entirely in Russian - So like men read 'Playboy' just for the articles, you might have to read this blog just for the pictures:

Here is one of my favorite images from the Blog:
... Playing Devil's Advocate a bit one might say that photos can easily be framed to reflect a specific political agenda or point of view...Or simply just plain be taken out of context - And, I have to be honest, those statements can be completely true - BUT - That does not change the fact that these images are really pretty interesting; especially juxtaposed with those I shared a few weeks back of what remains in Sarajevo - AND - Even more so interesting when one considers that the 2014 Winter Olympics (the XXII Olympic Winter Games or the Games of the XXII Olympiad) ended a little over a month ago - The closing ceremonies were on February 23, 2014 to be exact.
In situations such as these my Sister often says, "not saying, just saying."
