With a late surge, the Verde Canyon Railroad pulled into the station as the winner of our 2011 Photo-remedy Photo of the Year. The photograph of the fabulous Sedona-area train was followed closely by our Angry Cat and Boxer Rush pictures.

Thanks to everyone for making this such an enjoyable contest. You can see additional train photos, along with shots from the surrounding Verde Valley in my publicly-accessible Facebook photo album at: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150334029875781.392830.684865780&type=1.

Most of the slides in the Facebook album feature brief descriptions of the Railroad’s colorful history and of the many great attributes–like a growing wine industry and the ever-picturesque red rocks–found within a short drive of the train’s Clarkdale depot.

All the best to you and yours in 2012. For our increasing number of readers who are turning to Photo-remedy for inspiration, we hope you all will remember to ‘Keep Fighting with a Smile’ in the year to come.
