Re: Favorite Images from 2014
while not near the quality or unique as most of the photos already shared this is probably my favorite from last year. Nothing beats relaxing in a tent in the middle of the Andes at 16,250' watching the sunset.

Great photos everyone! While I don't claim to be the best photographer, here are a few from Mexico this year that I thought came out well:

Here's my favorite from the year. Personal bias probably plays a role.

some more Colorado gems from this summer.
I believe this is Castle. Followed by Conundrum. And I think Antero.

Re: Favorite Images from 2014

I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.
