My Favorite Images of 2012

I spent time today trying to remember all the great photo opportunities that 2012 brought and looking between these images for my 10 most favorites of 2012. Here is my conclusion, but if I look at them all tomorrow I am sure I will choose others 😉

Green Glow and Meteor – Faint northern lights and a meteor crossing the Alaskan skies on the night of November, 19.  ©2012, Dora Miller

Solitude – I shot this image just before Christmas in Palmer, AK.
The sun peeking through the heavy clouded sky, the perfect light touching the Matanuska pic and a solitary person walking up the street. Unique, a full story of solitude!       ©2012, Dora Miller
