The ExploreNorth Blog
Best images of each month from The ExploreNorth Blog
Dateline: January 8, 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.
My brain injury from August 2019 and the arrival of COVID-19 restrictions in March 2020 caused major problems and I only posted 29 times this year, with 693 photos, but there was at least one post each month. The longest 2 posts had 39 photos each - the first of them was "I really needed a Mountain Day", added on June 13th.
January 2020
After 10 days of deep cold, on January 20th I posted 32 photos of very cold places I'd been, including the Lewes River Dam - see "A look at our 10 days of deep cold (-40s)".
February 2020
On February 25th, I posted 29 photos from a drive to Kluane Lake and back - see "I'm back - my first good road trip in 6 months".
March 2020
My only post in March has 16 photos from a drive to Skagway and Dyea - see "A final drive into Alaska, and now we wait it out...".
