A Palestinian farrier was photographed recently while he was working on a horse's foot at the Abu Mahmud cart repair shop in Gaza City. Horse and donkey carts, called "araba" in Arabic, are a very popular means of transportation in the impoverished coastal strip known as the Palestinian Territory. Let's hope everyone there has a peaceful weekend. And a peaceful future, in general. Photo credit: Marco Longari/AFP/Getty Images, blogged courtesy of fOTOGLIF
