Re: Favorite Images from 2014
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.

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

Never a shortage of fine photographic efforts in the Forum. Thanks to all contributors. Keep 'em coming.

Re: Favorite Images from 2014
some more Colorado gems from this summer.
I believe this is Castle. Followed by Conundrum. And I think Antero.

Wow, the one near Willow Lake is gorgeous, kemper_simpich! Herdbull's in the Andes is really cool too! They are all so beautiful though!
Re: Favorite Images from 2014
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:
