The Unbearable Lightness of Being in Rome

            Hello everyone!  It has been awhile and I hope you are all well!  Last night, I flew back to Chicago after a whopping 18 day trip through five cities, starting in Paris then Zürich, Milan, Florence, and flying out of Rome.  As it was a very long vacation and I am Obsessive Compulsive, I have over 20,000 photos to look through.  (This is actually an improvement for me when I used to take more like 2,000-3,000 photos a day on vacation.)  In any case, this is one of the last photos I took in Rome.  After a few days of 100 degree Fahrenheit/37 degrees Celsius, there were a lot of people lined up for gelato and these two friends were laughing and having their best life. 

At my very best, I see the  merciless beauty in all humans and our highest potential.  That is when I like to take street photos.
