What in me is dark
Illumin, what is low raise and support;
That to the highth of this great Argument
I may assert Eternal Providence,
And justifie the wayes of God to men.
John Milton

High School Writing 2: More Photos

Welcome back, photography description gurus!

Here's the link for today's options:

National Geographic Photo Galleries

Choose a photo you can describe in vivid, stylish language, as we discussed in class. Be sure to print out the photo to hand in... or send me the link to the gallery you chose and tell me which photo you described! Either way, remember that I need to see it.

Have a great week,

~Mrs. Stewart
