Times Square,
New York.

History was written and I was part of it and got to witness it first hand. Smiles, joy and some tears for an excellent outcome! I love this spontaneous passion in response of that happiness!

Please check these two photos, taken 77 days after this one, for an amazing story:

Enhorabona per aquesta foto!!!! Casi com la de Robert Doisneau ;) Supòs que per allà heu tengut una nit mogudeta. Per aquí també hem tengut unes hores d'expectació. En el meu cas mai havia seguit unes eleccions USA amb expectació ni tampoc recordava tants programes especials de matinada seguint els resultats de l'altre costat de l'Atlàntic.
