I chose this photo as my 'Picture of the Year' because it captures the feeling and heat of Rome in my rather desolate neighborhood during summer. The air is still, while the child (my son) is in full motion.
This photo was also published on the online newspaper la Repubblica as part of a "Summer in the City" series.
Other contenders for best of the year were:
Specchio
Crepuscolo
Dolce far niente
Ponte Milvio
Signore che pranzano
Termini
Roma: epoche e stili
City Daily Photo has a theme day the first of every month. An impressive number of blogs participate in theme day. Click here to check out those that do.
I really like the feeling of this young kid riding into the future. Very hopeful.
