This is the second installment of my 10 favorite photos of the year compilation. Here is the link to last year’s favorites in case you want to see them (again).
Apart from shooting in my backyard (San Francisco Bay Area), up and down the Pacific coast and in the Sierra Nevada (especially Yosemite), I traveled to Mongolia. This was a very exciting trip and I fell in love with this country. I tried to balance the locations of my favorite shots in order to provide some of variety.
In case you want to learn a bit more about the previously posted images, I included a link to the blog post where the it originally appeared.
I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did when I reviewed this year’s work. Have fun!
