As the year comes to an end, people reminisce over what happened over the past 12 months. People smile over joyous events, regret the bad events, and try to forget the even worse events. While some websites put together top 10 (insert word) of the 2009 and best of 2009 lists, The Big Picture goes about it in a different way. They compile their top photos from the year that best depict events and feelings from the past year. If you don’t really care what happened, you will at least enjoy some really cool photos (aside from my photos, of course). Here are just some of my favorite.
