As 2008 slowly comes to an end, I reflect on the personal and global events that have occurred during this past year. I think it’s safe to say that we have and will continue to experience both triumphs and struggles in the next few years. It will definitely make for a great story to tell future generations. A segment of The Boston Globe focuses on current events through explicit, raw, breathtaking photos.  If you would like to visually recap the events of 2008, check out their photo blog The Big Picture. It is simply amazing!  Here are some shots that I’ve extracted from their latest three-part feature, “2008 in Photos”.  The following images were just a few that caught my eye.  You can view the rest of the photos here.
