January 2025 brought together an interesting group of pics as Colorado, Massachusetts and Vermont were my choices for sports photography and just pure fun.

Europe featured heavily with returns to Barcelona and Paris, and new excursions to Pairi Daiza in Belgium and black sand in Iceland. Sports are still a passion and skiing has stayed a constant.

Looking at the image, with the incongruity of the roadway of the Brooklyn Bridge above it, was striking.
