About...

Hundreds of pictures pass over the screen every week at the Echo picture desk from every corner of the world. This is an opportunity to share some of the offbeat pix that newspapers just do not have the space to present to you - some funny .. some sad ... great faces ... personalities and showbiz glitter, and great animal pictures. Welcome to the World of Pictures.
