Witty and ironic geophotos

We are starting a page of images that can be used to get pupils to think and also allow you to assess whether the irony helps stimulate theorising and explaining in geography. 

Anyone who has images that they own the copyright to can send them in. Weblinks to witty images please let me have them too. If we have infringed copyright in anyway here please let us know so that we can put it right.

If any one else would like to contribute a picture story like these about anywhere in the world then e-mail kate.russell@ataffordshire.gov.uk

All photographs can be used in any teaching and learning context in a school but cannot be used for any other purposes without prior permission of kate.russell@ataffordshire.gov.uk
