EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Max Rossi, a seagull takes center stage as it stands gracefully on a fountain in Saint Peters Square at the Vatican. The image, taken on January 1,2018, showcases the bird's elegant silhouette against the backdrop of the iconic square. The seagull appears to be enjoying its moment of solitude and refreshment amidst the hustle and bustle of one of Rome's most famous landmarks. Its black feathers glisten under the sunlight while droplets from the splashing water create an enchanting scene around it. This photograph beautifully captures nature's creative use of water as foam forms around the base of the fountain. The seagull's side view allows us to appreciate its slender beak and delicate features that make these birds so unique. With no people in sight, this image invites us to contemplate serenity and find solace in simple moments like watching a bird finding respite in an unexpected place. It serves as a reminder that even within busy cityscapes, there are opportunities for tranquility if we take a moment to observe our surroundings. Max Rossi has skillfully immortalized this fleeting instant where nature meets architecture through his lens. This photograph is not only visually stunning but also evokes feelings of calmness and appreciation for both natural beauty and man-made wonders.
