SO EXCITED!!!

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Ok, so I didn't tell many, but I sent some pictures to the Wiki Love Monuments USA contest that was held in September. More than 2.000 photographers partecipated and more than 22.000 photos were submitted; now 500 were selected for the next phase and... 7 are mine!!! I'm so, so excited, even if I don't win, even if neither of my 7 will be selected in the final 10, for me this is already a success. So please, enjoy the 7 finalists:


Cape Neddick Light, York, Maine


The Mall, Washington DC


Nottoway Plantation, Louisiana


Old Louisiana State Capitol, Baton Rouge


Old Louisiana State Capitol, Baton Rouge


Houmas House, Louisiana


The Lake, Central Park, New York City

Here are all 500 finalists:

There are some beautiful pictures, so I'm pretty sure I will not arrive in the final 10, but as I said, I'm so happy some of mine were selected :-)
