I like the featured image and then May and September. Happy New Year!
Thank you – Happy New Year to you as well!
Ahh, I missed Patti’s challenge. I did my 2018 calendar post month by month and it fits so I might link to her. Your photos are just amazing. And I’m glad you saw Neretva.
Manja – Neretva and its beautiful colours – loved it! Please send us a link!
I did in a comment to her post. It’s my most recent post.
Thanks for your review, Ann-Christine: your July image of ”The Sun Voyager” from Iceland makes me want to go on an ocean-side voyage (in a Viking boat, or on the QE2). It almost looks like the boat sculpture is about to get up on its own legs and walk off into the ocean; the sculpture reminds me of similar objects in the movie ”Beetlejuice.” 😅
Thank you, Henry! I loved Beetlejuice – but don’t remember the Sunvoyager lookalikes…
Your photos are gorgeous. The woods in January is incredible. But my favorite is your feature photo of the flower and dew. So amazing!
So glad you enjoyed them! Waiting for snow this year now – but I really don’t know if there will be any. Thank you for a happy comment!
Your selections are so intriguing. I love the compositions, textures, and pops of color. Seeing peeks of your gardens made me smile. It was fun to see how your garden changes throughout the year. I look forward to seeing what 2020 photos you’ll share!! That first dewdrop photo is so beautiful!!
Thank you, Shelley – and I look forward to following your 2020 too!
Fantastiska bilder! Så många platser och en sån variation. Den översta med blomman är underbar och jag faller för Concert Hall i Stettin liksom spindelnätet som är outstanding.
Tack Anita för så fina ord! Så glad jag blir!
The colors in your photographs always grab my attention. Each one of these is no exception. If I had to choose one favorite, it would be the interior shot from March. Such interesting details and warm colors. It makes me want to visit!!
Thank you for a lovely comment – and Umeå is worth a visit! It hosted the World Art some years ago. A very impressive city alive with art and artists!
You’re welcome. It sounds wonderful!
Very Nice pics ! Love the minimalism of the Concert Hall
A lucky shot – I looked up – and there she was!

These are all marvelous A-C, I loved them all. For me the nature shots of Sweden and the red-dressed figure on the steps are outstanding but I always love all of your work and sincerely appreciate your participation in and commitment to our little team. Here’s to an outstanding 2020 my friend
Thank you for much love and positivity, Tina! Cheers!
I have so many favs … but the absolute best is the fortress! 👏👏 Happy new Year!
Ah, thanks, and that fortress had a soul that touched me deeply. Happy New Year, Julie!
WOW – COLORFUL AND ELEGANT AND BEAUTIFUL. LOVE EACH ONE FOR DIFFEERENT REASONS
YAY!
Incredible photos. Loved them all and what a beautiful story they tell of your monthly trails.
Thank you ever so much for a lovely comment!
My favorite of these is February. Thanks very much for being a host of this challenge. All the best to you for 2020!

Thanks and cheers, Amy! Wish you a wonderful new year!
These are all beautiful Ann-Christine. I have so enjoyed seeing your work this year, and am looking forward to more in 2020. All the best for the new year.
Su – talk about enjoying – I marvel at your work every time, and I look forward to more from you in 2020. Happy New Year!
I like your shots of the forest in February and May. Lovely lines.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed them – I belong in the forest.
What a fabulous collection of photos. So many that caught my eye and I thought ”this will be my favorite” But then I would see another and love it too! Happy New Year and i look forward to more of your photos in 2020.
Anne – thank you for all inspiration and warmth from you this year, and let’s hope for a wonderful New Year!
Indeed. Onwards into the new decade!
A great year, packed with truly wonderful photos, Ann Christine. 🙂 🙂 Health and happiness in the year to come!
Thank you, dearest Jo, wishing you the very same!
A beautiful collection Ann-Christine.
Thank you, dearest Mary! I wish you and yours a healthy and happy New Year!
Best wishes for a wonderful new year!
♥
Fabulous images to end the year. Hope 2020 brings you all things good.
Thank you for all your visits and lovely comments, MM! I also wish you everything good for 2020 – but I am not a natural at being positive about a new year. Trying though!
Keep trying. Happy New year
♥
I can’t choose, A-C. These are all stunning and all speak to my heart. Thanks for all the beauty you’ve shared this year and I look forward to more in 2020!
janet
Thank you for the same, Janet! Looking forward to see more of your new home too!
Du visar så fina och stämningsfulla bilder. Gott nytt år.
Tack så mycket! Gott Nytt År till dig och de dina!
WOW!!! These are all very impressive photos. You are amazing 😀
Cee, you are always so positive and uplifting! Thank you!
Such beautiful shots, it’s hard to pick favorites. I’ll try. March, Umeå, Sweden, May, spring forest, Sweden, and December, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Neretva River and Stari Most (Old Bridge). I also very much like May, Söderto fortress, Sweden, and Iceland. All of them are a pleasure to view.
Thank you for a lovely comment – so glad you enjoyed them!
A fabulous selection Ann-Christine, I especially love the images in nature through the seasons. Thank you too for hosting these lovely challenges and all good wishes to you and your family for a healthy and joyous New Year! xxx
So happy you enjoyed them, Xenia! All the best for the new year to you and your family!
Thank you Ann-Christine! 💜 xxx
All are stunning! What a beautiful year you had! Happy New Year!
Beautiful photos! Happy New Year to you and yours!
Oh, and Happy New Year!!
To you as well, dear friend!
Thank you!
You’ve got some great images her, A C…the forests, that stunning spider web, the concert hall…wow!
Glad you enjoyed them, Sue!
They’re great, and I’m sure you’ll be doing more of the same this year!
Fantastic photos! My favorite ”March, Umeå, Sweden”
Happy New Year!!!
Thank you, Ana! I loved that hotel in Umeå – so special. It had a seafarer theme to its rooms. Happy New Year!
Wow. Great photos. More so because most are so unique from all the others. Superb.
John, you are always positive and kind – thank you!
Beautiful collection, glad I started following you! Happy New Year🎉
Happy New Year, Carolyn! Thank you for a lovely comment and for the follow.
I love your 2019 favorite gallery, AC! Absolutely beautiful! The Concert Hall is stunning. Happy New Year to you and yours! 🎉
Thank you, dear Amy – and I wish you and yours the same – Happy New Year!
Hi, Ann-Christine. Your collection is gorgeous. I am lingering over your 2 May shots. They are especially beautiful. I also want to send you a virtual hug and thanks for being such a wonderful person to collaborate with on these challenges. Wishing you lots of joy, good health, and satisfaction in the new year.
So glad you enjoyed my gallery – it is difficult to choose…some are for the image, some for the experienced moment. But that is just as it should be. You know, the medieval Mostar Bridge is something I have wanted to see for at least 30 years! It has been bombed, it has been going down in earthquakes – but now it is rebuilt again. A dream come true. The feeling!
I thank you for great co-work, Patti – we do work well together, and also we have great fun. A very good combo. Wishing you a satisfying 2020!
Thank you so much, Ann-Christine. I feel the same way. 🙂
Your photos are lovely. Happy/Healthy 2020! Here’s my contribution: http://chava61photography.photo.blog/2019/12/28/lens-artists-photo-challenge-77-favorite-photos-of-2019/
Thank you, Chava! I wish you the same!
Dear Leya – What wonderful photos! I started with January and decided that was my favorite, but then I saw the warm and inviting March and that became my favoritr, but then as i scrolled through, each new month became my favorite. Finally, the Old Bridge won. All of your photos aremexcellent.
I am tardy with my own submission, forgive me: https://babsjeheron.wordpress.com/2020/01/19/favorite-great-blue-herons-in-black-and-white/
Best, Babsje.
So glad you joined in, Babsje! And happy you liked my selections for last year. The old bridge was fantastic to see, thank you!
Hi Leya. You’re welcome. The vantage point from which you captured the Old Bridge looks as though you could have been in a boat on the water beneath it. Lovely photo! I’m looking forward a year to see what your 2020 round-up brings. Best, Babsje
Haha, well, there was a landing for boats where I could stand. And first we must survive 2020…
😎
Beautiful selection, Ann Christine. I love each one, but the spider web is my favourite. Happy New Year. 😘
Thank you so much – glad you enjoyed them, Sylvia! I wish you a very Happy New Year as well!
I decided to pick all of the photos A-C I really like the forest ones of course and the Concert Hall is superb 🙂
Glad you enjoyed them, Brian – yes, I wish for snow, but nothing is on the way. (I guess no rain with you yet?) And that concert hall – how lucky can you be having a lady in red walking down those stairs!
Oh yes Ann-Christine there has been rain
