It's such a lovely photo. It really conveys a sense of happiness...
And this photo has travelled quite far (thanks to Wikipedia, I guess): for instance, the London School of Economics' students' newspaper is called "The Beaver" and the ad in which the editors ask people to contribute to the paper uses your photo. :-)
(Unfortunately, I do no longer have a copy of the paper to show as proof. I might have another one in October, but then I don't know if they will still use the photo.)
