Ending 2024 with the Best Of-s

It seems that each year about this time, most media sources provide us with a review of the best of-s that serve as highlights from the previous year.  Since this is a photography blog, I would like to share a single photo that I feel is my best of 2024.

My process for doing this was to review those photos that I chose to frame and print this past year.  Like most photographers, I print only a very small percentage of my photos. 

The photo chosen for this week was taken on a subzero day this past January 2024.  January in northern Illinois is an austere period characterized by bleak landscapes which are bathed in grays and whites.  However, the warm sky colors in the background seemed to speak the promise of better days to come.   Better days to come is my wish for you in 2025.
