Continuing my annual tradition of posting my favorite picture of the year, I am ending up with the same situation I was in last year. Last Year we were in Iceland and, since I wrote the post before leaving, I could not predict if my best picture would be one I took in Iceland. This year I once again am writing a post over a week before the end of the year and once again it is because of travel.
The Wife and I are spending the last week of 2019 (and a few days beyond) in
Chilean Patagonia.
Obviously I can't predict if my favorite picture of 2019 will be taken there so I will only consider photos taken upto Christmas Day. I will include Patagonia pictures when I select my best picture of 2020.
This year I am posting three pictures: My best picture, my best Iceland picture, and an honorable mention. My best picture of 2019, in my opinion, was a picture of snow on the Appalachian Trail outside of Franklin, NC. The trees and ground are white with snow except for the trail itself.

My favorite picture from Iceland shows waterfall Faxafoss with the sun low on the horizon. The river winds its way to the horizon chasing the sunset.

The last picture would have been my favorite picture of the year if I'd taken it. The picture was taken by an anonymous hiker who was kind enough to take my picture that day. The picture is me sitting on the edge on McAfee Knob. The day had started of cloudy but the skies cleared before I reached the overlook. A friendly hiker asked if I wanted my picture taken and I said yes.
