As I review some of my photographs from the past 12 months, I can't help but notice the number of bridges, pathways and reflections. Perhaps some part of me was drawn to these subjects, as this was a year of transitions within our family: our two wonderful sons are growing into young men and they are a continuing source of joy and pride, our older son (Alex) graduated high school and started college, and my 91-year-old father passed away this past July (my parents had been married 66 happy years). In retrospect, the bridges connect us to our past and future, while the pathways and reflections are indicative of a period of introspection and appreciation.
All of the images below were taken in either Pennsylvania, New Jersey or New York. The majority of them are within 45 minutes of our home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. From the thousands of photographs I have taken during the past 12 months I have chosen 27 favorites (thanks to my wife Cynthia for her much appreciated help in narrowing down the field). I am curious which images other folks like best. These and many more of my photographs can be seen at my online ETSY shop. As we cross the bridge into 2016, I wish you all a year filled with peace, fulfillment and happiness.

These are beautiful - you've captured our area (and others) so well. As always I continue to be impressed/jealous of amazing photographers! Can't wait to check out the rest of the site.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for your nice feedback. I really appreciate it.
DeleteThey are so beautiful, it's hard to choose! But I'm going with Fonthill Castle. Can't wait to see what you come up with in the New Year.
