Listography – Top 5 Photos of 2011

I love this week’s Listography!  Narrowing it down to 5 photos is a lot trickier than it sounds, but reflecting on some of the wonderful moments of 2011 has got to be a good way to end the year!

5.  I’ve been friends with Jakke for years now, but it wasn’t until I visited Helsinki earlier this year that I was actually able to meet him – definitely a highlight of the trip.

4. As they live in Dundee, I don’t get to see these gorgeous ladies anywhere near enough.

3.

My lovely friend Stacey’s Wicked Hen Do – a day out in London including ice-cream at Harrods, afternoon tea at the Dorchester and Wicked was one of the best days of 2011.  The random interloper on the right of this photo still makes me smile.

2.I have so many amazing photos of my Uganda Project that it’s literally impossible to chose a favourite, but I’ve settled on this one.  It shows me playing rather than working, but it shows the gorgeous smiles of the children we saw, and captures the fun we and they had playing.

1. I do have a photo of me, Mum & Dad in front of this church, but as so often happens when you hand your camera to a random stranger, the framing is utterly appalling and it drives me to distraction!  This is the Church on Spilled Blood in St Petersburg, and is easily the most beautiful building I have ever seen.
