On my way back home from Shenandoah, I made a stop at Great Falls in McLean VA. I had never heard of it before I began planning the trip, but once I found out about it, I knew I had to visit. The place did not disappoint. The Potomac River rushing through the gorge makes for some wonderful waterfalls. After trying several compositions, including some close ups of some of the falls, I decided that my favorite was this shot, showing how the river tumbles through.

And, that’s it. Those are my Top 10 for the year. However, I do have three more shots that I wanted to share — not because they were particularly great photographs, but because they have special meaning.
