16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Albanian optimist

We wanted to hike in the Albanian Alps. Since the road is not well marked, we had to take a guide. The morning we'd start the hike, this 75 years old man appeared. He led us through the misty, beautiful Albanian Alps, with an optimistic smile on his face. After a hike of 7 hours, he walked home, the same way back.
