Images of the World

This morning, amidst all the violent news, I came across this year's winners of the World Press Photo awards. Yes, they too depict violence, inhuman acts, poverty, disaster - but they also show that humanity is everywhere. And even under the most humble and tragic circumstances, ordinary people manage the extraordinary: They live their lives.

My favourite may very well be David Guttenfelder's photo of boys playing football (soccer) in an empty swimming pool in Kabul.

Go to the website and take a look at these beautiful and horrifying, touching and appalling images from all around the world.
