I enjoy adding photos to WIKIPEDIA. I believe it adds to my personal goal of being a lifelong learner.
I also hope that it adds to the information available in the encyclopedia and somehow is a contribution to peace through education
and mutual understanding.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Some photos that I have put up.
