It's coming to that time of year when we all start casting our minds back over the previous 12 months - take today's You Must Remember 2006 piece, for example.
But what about the world of pictures? My favourite was this photo of the international space station and space shuttle Atlantis passing in front of the sun - just stunning in its scope, scale - and timing.
What were your favourite pictures of 2006? Show us - whether they are your own, a friend's, or by a pro - by leaving URLs in the comments below so everyone can go to see them.
Also: I wanted to alert readers to a Flickr group for Guardian readers that I created last week. We've run Flickr groups before (the BlairWatchProject, for example) but I thought this one would be an opportunity to open up one without an agenda. Join if you're a reader of the Guardian on or offline, and ping interesting photos into the pool whenever you fancy. We'd be happy to have you.
