My best images from The ExploreNorth Blog in 2007

by Murray Lundberg


The ExploreNorth Blog

Best images of each month from The ExploreNorth Blog


Dateline: January 7, 2024.

    It's common this time of year to look back at what happened during the previous year. For me, the photos on my blog are a good way of doing that, so I decided to pick out the best photo posted each month. "Best" doesn't mean photographically - images that I'd submit to a contest - merely images that I like because they show what we were up to, and that I connect with in various ways.

    In 2007, 99 posts were added to the blog, with a total of 183 photos. The longest post, with 16 photos, was "Spring road trip on the Alaska Highway", added on March 26th.
