Top 12 Hampton, North Hampton Photos of 2012

Without passionate, community-focused readers, Hampton-North Hampton Patch would be a souless, homogenous jumble of words and community announcements.

It's because of all of you that Hampton-North Hampton Patch has become what it has — a living online entity that helps connect thousands of locals with information and content they truly care about.

It's also because of you there's a diverse mix of images — nay, artwork — to help better illustrate what it means to live on the Seacoast. I'm so very grateful for all of your support (and of course, readership) in this venture, and as a way to commemorate just one of the countless ways you've enriched Hampton-North Hampton Patch, I present you with an image gallery that pays tribute to the many talented shooters and artists who have graced our humble corner of the interwebz.

I give you, the Top 12 Photos of 2012.

These are all plucked from our widely-popular Photo of the Day series, as well as blog posts submitted by our readers. It's not quite the end of the year yet, but since everything's absolutley-without-a-doubt going to implode on Friday (excuse me while I go clean out that bunker I used to weather the apocalypse that destroyed mankind on Y2K), here are some of the glorious images I've been thrilled to have been able to showcase this year.

What do you think? Is there a photo not represented here (but has appeared on Patch in 2012) that you feel needs to be mentioned as a part of our 2012 remembrance coverage?

Let us know in the comments and we can put together a separate gallery for our readers' favorite photos! Also be sure to tell us in the comments which of the photos above is your favorite!
