Happy New Year! Today's the first of the year, but it's also the first of the month, which means it's City Daily Photo theme day! This month's theme is, of course, Photo of the Year 2010. I had a hard time narrowing it down. In the end I chose 15 favorites from the images that I blogged last year. My absolute favorite is the one above, take in Cañon City on Easter. I like the silhouette of the dinosaur and the way the late afternoon sun flares through the sign behind him. I think there is just enough negative space in the image. It's well-balanced, has a nice rhythm and a dynamic diagonal composition. But mostly it makes me smile -- there's something very funny about a life-sized dinosaur, built by prison inmates, standing there watching the traffic go by while everyone ignores him!
The rest of my 2010 favorites are below, in chronological order by date. Most of them were taken in Colorado Springs or the surrounding area, one was taken near Vail, and three others were taken in California on vacation. Enjoy, and happy New Year!
