2012 Year in Review: Cedar Falls' Year in Pictures

Other journalists - people who have been doing this job far longer than I have - tell me they can't remember a year quite like this one.

Big, dramatic news seems to keep breaking here in the Cedar Valley. Every time I feel I'm starting to get a handle on one story, something else happens of equal or greater importance.

Looking back at the last year, I tried to pick one photo of note from each month. These photos are not necessarily the best photos on the site from that month, nor do they represent everything of importance that happened. For example, there are no photos to represent the breakdown of Peregrine Financial Group, simply because that's not a very photogenic story. These are simply 12 photos of 12 things that happened in a very eventful year.

For the last couple of weeks, I've been re-posting some of the year's biggest stories, in no particular order. See them all here: 2012 Year in Review.

For now, though, here is the year in photos. What do you think was the biggest story of the year? Tell us in the comments.
