Best of 2025

The images I like best, either because of the effort required or because I like the results, or both.

A steam locomotive from the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga, TN passing thrugh the Chckamauga Battlefield park in October.

A troll by Thomas Dambo, a Danish artist. One of five in the Raleigh, NC area and one of 168 in the US. Made of natural materials so they will eventually just decompose back into the earth.

Bald Cypress trees at George L Smith State Park in middle Georgia in late October.

Shortly after sunset at Hopi Point in the Grand Canyon National Park in September.

Sunrise at Lake Lanier. 2025 was not a great year for colorful sunrises, and I did not get out for sunrise as often as I have some years.

Nice light on a rock in the stream below Minnehaha Falls in northeast Georgia. This on a photography club trip in June.

A stream in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in April as the trees were getting their new growth.

And a flower. This an azalea bloom in the yard in April.
