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.”
