I was in Orvieto, Italy looking at the many colorful sights when I saw this bicycle leaning against the wall. It blended well with the scene and even seemed like a decorative object.

Hi Meg,
That’s a beautiful shot! My sister and I stayed in Orvieto, using it as a home base to explore the area, and it was very lovely. I loved the bumble bee stripes on the Cathedral there!

This picture speaks to me. I have a fondness for bicycles, and I like how this one is built for practicality, with two carriers. Bicycles are personally very nostalgic, as they remind me of my Dad, and the European setting here reinforces that.

You certainly have an eye for photographing the typical and making it look like a work of art. Just as if it was telling its own story.

I do like this photo very much. Typically you show a lot of color and I gravitate towards bright colors, but these, muted and blending into one another, really create a lovely effect. Ordinary objects, but a really nice photo, not to be overlooked!
