People see cool and strange things daily. Thanks to the inventions of both the camera and the internet, we have a place to store and keep an unlimited supply of fascinating photos.

The world is a treasure chest of wonder just waiting to be opened. You just need to know where the treasure is hidden. Even in your daily travels, you may stumble across something new or that you haven't noticed before. All you have to do is keep your eyes open, your head on a swivel, and your camera (cell phone) on the ready.

So get comfy and browse through this collection of pics and photos of neat stuff people saw and just wanted to share with the rest of us.
