Old Havana is a warren of ambling streets and alleys. It is here where you will find the ?real? Cuba and the one removed from the tourist sites. Old folks sit behind wide-open doors and windows and peer out upon the street-scenes. Boys coo, in that typical latin fashion, at girls and women that pass by. Kids, shirtless and shoeless, run amok kicking rocks and cans up and down the street. Baseball, all the rage on this island, is played in the streets with fashioned bats and balls. Framed by old and dilapidated art deco structures and beat-up antiquated American cars, this is the ?real? Cuba. Photo taken by Steven Greaves (États-Unis) - Travel/Vacation

This picture is my son braving the sea at Perranporth Beach, Cornwall, July 2008. He turned round and shouted, "it's freezing," while laughing at the same time and I just snapped it. I love this picture with the sea all rough and the blue sky makes it perfect. Photo taken by Tracey Cordt (Royaume-Uni) - Holidays/Events

Paris is called the city of lights for a reason. By day, the French capital is one of the most beautiful in Europe. By dusk, that beauty is awash in light and makes for some pretty spectacular photography. On one such night, I walked the banks of the Seine and took it all in. Sitting along the banks of the Seine is the sprawling Louvre complex. The Louvre is one of Europe's finest museums and houses the art-world's most famous piece- Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. I.M. Pei's controversial Pyramid forms the entrance to this former palace and stands in stark contrast to the classical architecture of the original buildings.

This photo was captured in July of 2008. It was taken at our friends lake house in Ossipee, NH. My husband Craig and daughter Brooke were coloring together at this little school desk and the natural light coming in was just beautiful so I though what a perfect Kodak moment. This photo is particularly special to me because quality time with your kids so sooo important and my husband always seems to prove that in such special ways.
