Happy New Year! In the City Daily Photo community, January 1st's theme is Best of 2011. As we scanned the GDP archives, we kept coming back to this shot of Fourth of July in Kirkwood. It shows a snapshot of a decades-old, homegrown neighborhood celebration. The inter-generational nature of the event makes it extra special. See the original post here.
As we reflect on 2011, our third year of this daily photo effort, we are most proud of the People of Greensboro Series. Through meeting all of these fine people in Greensboro, we saw just how the fabric of a community is woven. Greensboro is the warp yarn holding us together. The people are the weft, weaving through to create community: Fitting metaphor for this once-textile-dominant community. To all of the named and unnamed people, Greensboro is a fine community and we are honored to be a part of it. (See GDP's 2011 photo of the year here). Here's to a great 2012!

A great year on GDP. I, too, enjoyed most the Poople of Greensboro series. Keep them coming. Bonne Annee!

This is a super photo. Beautifully composed. Just perfect with the flag, the car loaded with people, the spectators and all in the perfect place. Really brings home the atmosphere of the day. Thanks for your visit. Happy New Year!

A good choice for photo of the year. It is colorful, full of action, and with a happy, positive attitude.
