THE BEST OF 2021
This year was spent living in Ireland, and we enjoyed a three-month escape from the winter in Spain on the Costa Blanca. I very much enjoyed living near the sea.
Many of this year’s photo highlights were made on adventures in the great outdoors, mostly a short drive from home. Hiking is a lovely way to see the scenery, and finding a hill and making your way to the top is the best way to take in the scenic views. With the pandemic ending, photos made outdoors and away from people dominate this year's top list.
