Happiness Is a Warm Sun

Photograph by Kersti Kalberg , National Geographic Your Shot

"It was the first beautiful winter day in over a month, and the sun came out and everybody just stopped," says Kersti Kalberg , a member of our Your Shot community. "The world almost stood still, and the silent happiness just poured in."

Kalberg went for a walk to enjoy the day, as did many others, including the pony, Rainbow, found standing in the sunlight. "It looked like he was just feeling the sunlight and fresh air. I found it something remarkable, as if he were there for me to finally understand how similar people and animals sometimes are."
