In 2012 there were so many lasting images that sought to capture the spirit, vitality and drama that is Portsmouth and choosing five of those photographs and labeling them the best is impossible.
But after much consideration and thought, these images taken over the course of the first seven months of Portsmouth Patch stand out for the stories they tell and the people they captured.
As Portsmouth turns the page on 2012 and welcomes 2013, please review these photos and let us know what you think.
