The ExploreNorth Blog

Best images of each month from The ExploreNorth Blog

Dateline: January 12, 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 2016, 90 posts were added to the blog, with a total of 2,109 photos. The longest post, with 65 photos, was "RIP Monty, the most incredible dog I've ever known", added on March 4th.
