PHOTO OF THE MONTH BY VALERIA TOFANELLI

Photo of the month for October 2022 by Valeria Tofanelli, as voted by BME members.

Some words from Valeria about the photo:

“I took this photo the first day of a trip to Lanzarote. I was immediately fascinated by this island, where the landscape offers scenes so different from where I live. I was going to visit a museum when I saw a person walking on the edge of a wall. I don’t know exactly what he was doing, but it got me curious, so I followed the man for a few feet and took some pictures. In the end I chose this one because I think there is more ambiguity in the interpretation of the scene.”

For September 2022, 2 photos shared the first place for photo of the month, as voted by BME members. This is the first of the 2 photos, by Valeria Tofanelli.

Some words from Valeria about the photo:

“I was walking in the evening along the beach of Ostia the day after a violent storm had destroyed most of some bathing establishments. The landscape was surreal, especially if I think about how those places are in summer. Many workers had started to clean the area to rebuild the bathing establishments and towards the end of the day I saw this man who was still cleaning a restaurant from the debris brought by the sea. I took several photos to fix that moment, after which I greeted the man and continued on my way.”
