Among the ways to tell the year that is ending and take stock of how things went, al Post we are fond of collecting the remarkable photos we have seen on photo agencies. The choice of the photos of the year requires a not always easy balance between the selection of those that show news and those that are more simply very beautiful. Sometimes these two qualities overlap, others don’t, but in both cases they deserved to end up in the collection of photos of 2021, because they tell a piece of the world, international events, conflicts, crises, the normality of everyday life and of the new habits brought about by the coronavirus pandemic. Each is accompanied by a short caption that explains it, and if necessary by a link to deepen, discover or just remember.
