It is a personal calendar I do for family and friends. I have just finalised it for this year.

Edit: if you want I could bore you all stiff and upload each of the photos we have selected... but only if enough people say yes - I don't want to 'over do' the thread with my photos.

Yes, please I'd love to see them.

OK... part 1of 3...

We usually aim for the photo used to be taken in the month it represents, but this year it has been a touch more difficult than normal (I've had a bad year health wise so haven't been out much since May). Photos also tend to be personal to us, rather than anything else and I have left off the cover photo which was taken on our tour. I tend to not really put many photos of ourselves on the internet, but family like to see at least one of us in the calendar. family also know that my photogrpahy is mostly landscape photography...

January - Bauchille Etive Mor, Scotland (February 2007). This one is an old shot, a number of other versions have been used in previous calendars, so this is probably not the best shot from that day, but it is one I have not previously used.

February - Kaklik Caves, Turkey (February 2012). The mineral deposits in the water turn the water blue naturally.

March - Loch Rannoch, Scotland (March 2013). Already featured here on CC in the members travelogues from my very cold cycling holiday to Loch Rannoch last easter. - think -11C before the wind chill was taken into account... this was one of the warmer days!

April - Wood Sorrell, UK (September 2007)

Part 2 of 3.

May - Tulip fields in the Netherlands (May 2011)

June - I have once again forgotten the name of the lake, but the place we stayed at was Hoverberg in Sweden. (June 2011)

July - Midnight sun, Flakstadd, Lofoten Islands, Norway (July 2011)

August - Vestertana, Tanafjorden, Norway (August 2011)

All of the above photos were taken on tour.

And finally (part 3 of 3)

September - Ben Hope & Loch Eriboll, Scotland (September 2013). We went without the fence in the end mostly due to the feedback in the chat forum.

October - Autumn Leaves, Loch Rannoch, Scotland, (October 2010). I like 'abstract' landscapes and often zoon in on features & specific details.

November - Krasnabrod, Poland (November 2011). again on tour (and posted simply for completeness)

December - Inveroran, Scotland (February 2007). It went down to -11C whilst I was there, camping wild, alone. This was where I was getting my drinking water from!

Fantastic stuff.
You could make a great calender out of those. Feb, May & Dec my faves.

amazing pics love no. 1 and 4

my favourite of the sequence that number 1 was shot in is here http://aramok.co.uk/photo_3357640.html#photos_id=2413209 in this link. tis my photography website, though it is not complete. I need to do some work on it, but also need to find the motivation and deal with a few family issues. (My step father's temporary hip replacement broke this morning and he is now back in hospital and I am back to some very long commutes several times a week!)

Taken at Heathrow in July - only had my Nikon compact with me but loved the light and couldn't resist!

@BigonaBianchi you might like this one which also did not make it into the calendar. It is however, my wallpaper on my laptop.
I find it very calming. also taken in Scotland, Loch Rannoch, October 2010.
