In no particular order, here are a dozen of my favorite photos from 2012.

Though Diversions closed and a new bar Next is in the space along Kavanugh, earlier in the year captured the shadow on an inside ledge.

Leaves floating in a fountain.

Shadows on the Tower Building.

The historic Woodruff house.

Falling snow in Hillcrest looks more like a scifi attack.

Back stairwell at LR City Hall.

One of LR’s newest hotspots, RJ Tao’s bar top features lights and colors.

Warwick and Jessica Sabin sharing a quiet moment at their wedding.

At height of autum, a maple tree in MacArthur Park.

An early morning look at the west facade of the Clinton Presidential Center.

The Capital Hotel and vehicles provided holiday lights.
