THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: YOUR BEST PHOTO IN 2017
For the last Thursday’s Special in 2017 I am offering you a challenge that IS NOT, and yet it might be the most challenging one so far 😀
I would like you to post again what you consider to be your best shot posted this year.
The end of this year has been a bit more stressful than usual for me, but I am hopeful that things will get better eventually. I would like to thank all my friends here for constant support and positive wishes.
Love and best wishes for 2018!

No problem. I did not make any updates since it was published at night. Maybe it wasn’t shown on the phone if it was checked out on a phone :I.

My best shot was the one that got away: late evening light on a row of houses reflected in the lake from my brother’s deck. I saw it, I loved it, I lost it. However, I can always enjoy the superior exquisiteness of your photo and feel nourished. Best of good wishes for you and your people in 2018 – good health, energy and peacefulness, and anything else you want to add. Say hello to Zagreb for me.

That was really a hard one, Paula. As I wrote in my post: my pick tonight might be different from my pick tomorrow. But I picked one. Your photo of Rovinj, that play of light, is quite stunning – if I didn’t say it then I am doing so now. I hope you have a great start for the new year.

My favorites I posted from places I visited. .I hope your 2018 is a wonderful and peaceful new year. I look forward to your new challenges.
