It’s the end of 2013.  Looking back, I have taken so many photos, particularly on my 72-day national park road trip plus my year end Yosemite National Park road trip.  I saw Jim Goldstein’s Best Photos of 2013 invitation on Google Plus, and think it’s a wonderful idea.  So here’s my top 10 picks of national park photos, selected from the 10,000+ photos I took.  It’s a hard job but well worth it.
