Hyde Daily Photo is one of more than 500 websites worldwide that post a daily picture of their home town or city. On the first of each month, many of them post a picture according to a selected theme. On 1st January 2009, the theme was "Photo of the Year". Now I couldn't decide myself which one I should use, so selected twelve contenders for the honour, and asked readers to vote for their favourites. Here are the original photographs in the order of number of votes recorded.The links on the left-hand side go to the original postings which carry explanatory text about the photos and any comments that have been made about them. The winning picture was posted at Hyde Daily Photo on the 1st January 2009. The runner-up and full details of the results appear on Ackworth born, gone West |
