Favourite Photos of 2012

Whatever else it might have been, 2012 was pretty good to look at.
Here's a selection from last year's posts to ignore/comment on/make a calendar from/pick a favourite/whatever …

Goodwood 2012 - Jaguar hitting the gravel trap … hard!

Saint Paul's from the South Bank.

Saint Paul's from the churchyard.

The hotel at the south end of London Bridge.

Southwold beach.

Rocking horse in Cathedral Close.

Cherry blossom.

The Moon and Venus over Norwich.

Floating jelly-beans.

Stormtrooper dad.

Norwich Cathedral's mighty organ (as seen and heard in yesterday's post).

Lotus sculpture at the Festival of Speed.

The City financial district.

Mike, Pete and Orion.

Hostess trolley.

Tower of London.

Sing along with the Village People.

Angle-tangle.

Birch trees at Tate Modern.

Hope you enjoyed those. I wonder if 2013 will look as pretty.

Your pictures are beautiful, Dive. I particularly love the angles in the skyscraper photos. I also wish I could rock a pretty blue dress and pearls the way the Goodwood hostesses do. Oh well. *Sigh.*

dive said...

Thanks, mum, though there was very little work involved in most of these (Orion was tricky and the depth of field on the birch trees, but most of them were point and click, though I did have to lay on the ground for the orange flower shot).

Thank you, Speedway. A compliment from such an awesome photographer as you is worth grinning about.
I'm sure you could rock the dress, pearls, hat and heels look if you went for it. You'd look great swanning around the Indy track like that.

Speedway said...

Thank you, Dive, but if I were to appear at the Speedway dressed like that, I be decidedly out of place; only the Princesses, the crazies, or the absolutely clueless show up at a track in a dress and heels.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot, but the Queen of Research has sent a package to F&M/Norwich. Mailed 12/22. Be on the look-out.

I kinda like crazy, clueless princesses.

You sent something to the office? Yikes! I hope it's something that can be opened by Jill without scaring the crap out of her. I'll watch the post pile with trepidation.

Speedway said...

Absolutely innocent, middle of the road architecture related. No fear needed.

dive said...

Whew … Hee hee.

Ms M said...

Such excellent photos! I can't even choose a favorite -- they all rock! You've got such a good eye for photography and design.

Petrea Burchard said...

Fab photos, Dive. Of course my favorite is the Tower of London.

dive said...

You are too kind, Ms.M. I just had a lucky year in that I was standing in front of photogenic subjects more often than usual.

Hee hee, Petrea. Yay Camelot!
