2011: the year in pictures

I am still amazed at what an eventful year 2011 was. So much happened that really changed the world, for better or worse.

Boston.com’s Big Picture series shows a lot of the historic (and not so historic) events.

They don’t have any photos of the local historic event, the Queensland floods. In any other year, the significance of Queensland’s disaster would not have been over-shadowed by the far more catastrophic natural disasters internationally.
