while not near the quality or unique as most of the photos already shared this is probably my favorite from last year. Nothing beats relaxing in a tent in the middle of the Andes at 16,250' watching the sunset.

Great photos everyone! While I don't claim to be the best photographer, here are a few from Mexico this year that I thought came out well:

Here's my favorite from the year. Personal bias probably plays a role.

I didn't take this photo; someone else (Ben) who was also on the mountain did. This is Volcan Fuego as seen from Volcan Acantango (12 second exposure):

My daughter and I recently returned from climbing nine volcanoes in Guatemala/El Salvador, but this was the most spectacular.
I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

One of my favorites this year was this pano of the Wilson Group and Lizard Head, taken on a hike up Black Face during a week down in Telluride:
