When I was a little girl, I just loved getting lost in the amazing photos in Life Magazine. In 2007, the print magazine went out of business for the third time in 70 years but the new Life.com website makes it possible to reunite with some of your favorite photos and discover new ones. "Your world in pictures" is the very appropriate tagline for this online treasure chest of millions of photos that can be browsed for FREE!
Life.com is a partnership with Getty Images and more than 3,000 new photos are added everyday. The site is divided into five sections; news, celebrity, travel, animals and sports. You can also search for your favorite pictures. I typed "Barcelona" into the search box and the site retrieved an impressive 16,394 results. The site also features collections of photos and in the travel section you can peruse Chile: Naturally Beautiful, World's Most Expensive Cities, Charles and Camilla's South America and many others.
You can share your favorite pictures with your friends on Facebook, MySpace and other social networking sites. Some images are also available for purchase.
So if you are sitting at your desk and daydreaming about taking a vacation, take a virtual getaway with the photos at Life.com.
