21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The Blessed One
We were trekking gorillas in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda. We were obersving the Peace family when one of the young females ran by and patted me on the stomach. The guide said I was blessed to have been touched by a gorilla and helped me move in close to get this shot.
