This is the kick off post to a new experiment… Friday Freebie. Friday Freebie posts will feature an image to liven up your iPad display with images from my travels… all for free.

Fittingly the service is named Collagewall. To give you an idea of what they do see their website at Collagewall.com and the Collagewall Flickr photostream.
