Whitechapel
December 30th, 2009 - Whitechapel, London, England
I could try to imbue this image with some sort of appropriate New Year's symbolism - say it represents a young man walking towards a brighter future, or something like that. Or I could just thank the photography gods for presenting me with the perfect Flickr-friendly combination of rain-glistening cobbles, a silhouette in a long coat and a vanishing point.
Happy reveling !! See you in 2010 !!
I think it's worth clicking here to view large on black.

Yeah that's the one.
To have more symbolism it would need goat entrails...
May 2010 be full of these photographic moments for us all.

I'm listening to Franz Schuberts Unfinished Symphony No.8 in B minor; as I'm wandering through your photostream. Its a perfect combination; it draws me to the image, making me wish I could pass into it and experience the moment wholly. Still, doing so vicariously is no small thing. Its an enviable record of an enviable moment. A tip of the hat to you for posting such a beautiful photo!

Such an awesome shot. Wet roads always make for great shots, cobblestone or asphalt, it always looks great after a fresh rain...or quick hose down before a shoot.
