  2. New Years

New Years 2020-21

Some of my favorite photos from 2020. We lived in Zürich (Switzerland) for the first half of the year, and at home in New Hampshire for the second half. I/we traveled to Finland, Sweden, and Germany as well as many parts of Switzerland; did a lot of great skiing and hiking; built a new pizza oven at home; installed solar power at home; enjoyed fall colors and a winter snowstorm before celebrating Christmas at home for the first time in over 20 years. See my many blog posts from 2020 at https://davidkotz.org.
