A cool new (or new-ish) blog at the Boston Globe website is "The Big Picture" -- each day, a single dramatic photo that tells a story. Below are a couple that stood out to me. Be sure to click on the pictures to see them full size (for maximum effect).

Ok... so I have to admit that I got all excited when I saw the first picture of the tribe people on the bus... I was like "how cool...up close pictures of the uncontacted tribe people... now wait, how did they get them on a bus!" (mom moment) and then... I read your caption. still cool, but not as cool as having uncontact (but now contacted) tribe people on a bus. how weird would that be for them...
