Inspiring pictures

You may have noticed that until recently we had a St George's flag on the side of the blog, but this of course has now gone after events at the weekend (helpfully summarised in lego here). We wondered if there were any other suitable inspiring images that should go there - preferably on an HP theme! If you have any suggestions please send them in - if there are any interesting websites to link to that can be arranged to. The best suggestions will be posted and in the meantime, as an incentive to get you contributing, a picture of Glenn Beck (and links to his book reviews) will stand as a temporary replacement...

Dalai Lama in Bodh Gaya 2010.

The Dalai Lama recently visited to Bodh Gaya for discourses to Buddhist pilgrims at the Mahabodhi temple. The following, and above are all pictures taken during his visit to the site venerated by Buddhists as the place where Buddha realized enlightenment. I like the first three pictures and the last one most.~Peace to all beings~

For those wondering what I look like I've decided to reveal myself a bit more than I have before:
