2012 Favorite Photos

So this is the time of year that I collect my favorite photographs that I have taken for the year and put them all together in one place.  I really don't know what makes them my favorites...a new place, a new angle of an old place...a view that I've never noticed before...etc.  Color, light, angles, and subject matter all play a part in my liking these.
