A perfect last flight in 2014: New year’s eve in my 1959 Cessna 175 at 12’000 ft over the swiss alps (south of Bern). And in September a memorable flight to the most most beautiful peak in the alps, Mt. Cervin (Matterhorn).
Hazy winter day with lots of snow on the ground, right? Actually, sun glint off the Baltic Sea. There’s even a sail boat in the “snow” somewhere. 
Not quite from last year, but it was the year end flight postponed due to weather.
This is a high resolution panoramic shot at approximately SUBUS, at FL080 early this afternoon:
I’ve never seen such an ill defined cloud base as today, it just changed gradually from no visibility at 8500ft to okish visibility at 6000ft. But then there was no lapse rate in the lower atmosphere, it was around 0degC from takeoff up to FL080.
But the grass runway kept up very well, and the aircraft didn’t even get dirty:
A few of my favourite pictures from 2014 – the first is of an encounter with a glider over the Alps

this is a view of Innsbruck having left the Brenner and turned right into the Inntal.
Finally, most Brits will know this location…..

Fantastic, Chris! Love the one of Venice (Wasn’t ML a great fly-in?!)
Yes, really enjoyed ML. It was the first outing for ’OJ. Hoping to make a couple more fly-ins in 2015.
Amazing photos, though I wasn’t sure if Tom’s scenic IMC one was intentional 
Mali Losinj was a brilliant fly-in. It’s going to be very hard to improve on it. But, this year we have
