Another November, come and gone. And, even more pictures to love from Newscom! This month we’ve rounded up some of the best pictures we’ve seen, from news and sports, to weird, creative, and travel pictures — all of which you can find on Newscom.
This November in the news, the Virgin Galactic Space Ship Two crashed, pushing back an already delayed space tourism hope for Richard Branson. Hong Kong continues to see protests, with seemingly no progress. And fortunately, some window washers were very lucky as they were rescued from the side of the brand new One World Trade Center. Also just in the past week, Ferguson Missouri erupted in protests, as a Grand Jury decided not to indict Darren Wilson in the shooting of Michael Brown. Newscom has many pictures from Ferguson, so be sure to check them out.
In sports, we got some great pictures of marathons — as November is a great month, apparently, to run 26.2 miles. Football has been in full swing, and some incredible plays have been made. Which of course, makes for some excellent photography!
As always, Newscom sees gorgeous photos from our fantastic travel and creative partners, every month. So be sure to see some great pictures from this month below, and don’t miss many more back at Newsom, in our November Pictures of the Month lightbox!
