On January 1 each year, City Daily Photo participants show their Photo of the Year. My self-imposed rule is that it has to be where I live, not where I travel. As a snowbird with homes in Connecticut and Florida, this year I have chosen one from each hometown.
It is humbling to review a year's worth of photos. Many are fine or I wouldn't have shown them, but are any special enough to be "Photo of the Year"? Maybe not. But, here goes.
House wrens. June 26. This bird house is in front of my house in Ridgefield, Connecticut. I enjoyed watching the parents caring for the hatchlings until they all departed a few weeks later.
Cormorant. November 21. My Florida house is in a community that is an Audubon Certified Sanctuary (meaning that lots of land has been left undeveloped). I spend plenty of time photographing wildlife, of which very little is shown on my blog. This cormorant took off in the bay, an inlet of the Gulf of Mexico.
Boston Public Library. August 27. From my 2024 travels in the United States, this was a favorite nighttime photo in Boston's Copley Square.
Shanghai. September 30. In 2024 the international travels were to Apulia (Puglia), Italy, and China. At night the skyline of Shanghai is stunning, so the city gets the credit, not me.

Jack, I can see you had a hard time choosing photos of the year. I remember seeing some spectacular bird photos taken in Florida. I think you choose well. Your Shanghai photo is terrific, but I'm always a fan of urban night reflection photos, and Shanghai holds a special place for me.
A good mix. I think the Shanghai skyline is my favorite.
