I knew, that some traditions are very famous and they are very well known around the world.
The image is very simple, dark but at the same time full of feelings.
A young boy, around 7 or 8 years old, is waiting fot his moment. In few minutes he will be the protagonist of one of the most ancient traditions in my town. But I want to focus on the image. He is waiting, only a ray appears from the window that is in front of him. What about him? Probably he will be anxious, nervous, ..... The day is beginning to get light, and all will be different. It's Easter Sunday and the happiness is ready to burst. Not only in the religious contest but also in the way of life of people.
After his appearance in the main square, all people will go to celebrate the Resurrection, the spring, with their families, friends ...
But I see him, alone, in a small room, probably he will be watching the square full o people. Just in few seconds, his name will be history. He wants to jump, but it's not the time, he has to wait for few minutes, ....
Is he in isolation? I don't know, but he is alone, waiting for being our new hero.
But The Times, one of the most important magazines of the world, could take this picture. Really it's nice, how many feelings are in our head, a lot of stories to think ....
Now he can see the place. Everybody is eager to see him.
And just in this moment he will be part of our history.
Never would have I thought that one day I would see a picture taken in my village in the Times magazine.

*"Full of feelinG" is more commonly said.
**"Protagonist" is used only in formal literary analysis.

I like how you wove the pictures into the story.
Matt,
DeleteI can imagine the history, but the pictures were taken last Sunday.
The first onw apperared in The Times the rest I could take from / on (¿?) the net. But with the first one, knowing the tradition, I could image feelings or a lot of things, because it looks like if he is alone but not, there are a lot of people helping him or waiting for him out the rom.
It's another way to improve our writng skills Matt.
Thanks for your words Matt, I think I have improved with my posts. You are better than me. I wish I had the same fluency that you.
