An update on the “Photo of the Month”
No “Photo of the Month” for December
If you’ve noticed, my November “Photo of the Month” has lingered a bit longer than it should have. That’s because I’m not posting a new photo for December. Instead, I’ve created a collage of photos that I’ve taken this year, although it is not inclusive of all of the transit adventures that I’ve embarked on.ContinueContinue reading “No “Photo of the Month” for December”
