Photo of the Day (1/17/08)

Appropriately titled "Smiley," this wonderful shot by Fiznatty perfectly captures that spontaneous grin that occasionally greets travelers in remote lands where simply catching sight of a foreigner is enough to trigger a child's irrepressible smile.

What makes this shot even more amazing is that it was taken in northern Rwanda--a place more commonly associated with horror than with our smiley friend above. It's certainly a testament that no matter how bad a place might be, a child's resiliency will always shine through.
