(13930) Kea
This kea (a native alpine parrot) was, unfortunately, munching on some human junk food when I photographed it in New Zealand's Southern Alps. (November 22, 2021. Nikon D7200, 1/250s @ f/4, 80mm, ISO 100.)

(11129) Fort Niagara, New York
My favorite drone photo this year was this photo of Fort Niagara, at the northwestern tip of New York state, on Lake Ontario. (August 6, 2022. DJI Mini 3 Pro, 1/1600s @ f/1.7, 24mm, ISO 120.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Niagara
(10903) Iguazu Falls, Brazil
This panorama (made by combining 4 separate photographs) begins to illustrate the breadth of the magnificent Iguazu Falls, on the border of Brazil and Argentina. (Brazil is in the foreground; Argentina is in the background.) Even this panorama, in fact, shows only a portion of the falls; the largest cataract lies beyond the left edge. (January 18, 2009. Olympus C-750 Ultra Zoom ('point-and-shoot'), panorama.)
