From a past Theme Day, one of my favorite images of the last year: the statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi by the sculptor Augusto Rivalta.
I may like this photo because it somewhat reminds me of one of my favorite paintings, the “Wanderer above the Sea of Fog” by Caspar David Friedrich.See also: Garibaldi
Happy New Year to Everyone!

What a wonderful photos and post. Thanks. Please take a moment to check out the special New Year's Eve post at Portland Oregon Daily Photo.
Very nice choice indeed. I love the painting too.
How incredible. Yes the photo and the painting are so similar. I love the grandeur of the photo, that sky frames Garibaldi so wonderfully. A superb shot. Great choice.
Happy New Year to you and your loved ones xxx
Yes, I see the similarities, and I think that each man cuts quite a handsome figure. Bravo!
Buon anno 2011!
Beautiful shot for the theme(s).
