Thought this was worth sharing, if you've not already seen it.

I don't think they are ranked in any particular order. Great if you've got half an hour to kill.

Which would be YOUR number 1?

Yes... That was the big one. I thought the one with Truck 4 was tough for me, too.

The volcano or the blizzard were my two favs. I especially like the post apocalyptic feel of the snow.

Hey guys, you are most welcome. I've been through each one a few times today. Just thinking about the 'before/during/after' around each snapshot is very compelling and incredibly emotional.

Reminds me to be humble, gracious and grateful for what I've got.

And yep, the TWO doggie pics were the killers for me!

A couple of those make for great desktop wallpaper.

The soldiers dog was the most moving one for me. I thought someone proved the shot of the couple making out during the Vancouver riots was a set up?

The dog one was very touching.

The riot kiss was because she was knocked over and scared, as per an interview with them.

Some are powerful, some are "meh", and some are hilarious, like #34, where the guy looks like he's farting at the cops!
