Let’s take a look back with the best photos of 2019.The 2019 German Grand Prix (formally known as the Formula 1 Mercedes-Benz Grosser Preis von Deutschland 2019) was a Formula One motor race which was held on 28 July 2019 at the Hockenheimring in Germany. This year has been filled with beauty, adventure, laughs, and wanderlust. Scroll down to see the wondrous 12 months we’ve all shared via these photographers’ images. Majestic undersea worlds, the pure unencumbered joy of children at play, the iridescent wings of a hummingbird, phenomenal meteorological conditions, macro and micro views of our galaxy, hidden figures found in shadows, heartwarming mother-and-child portraits, and more have made the list this year. From the poignant portrait of a teenager leading a generation of climate activists to the silly snapshot of a cub playfully pouncing at a “ball,” this year has ran the gamut of emotion in photographs. There is a great deal of beauty to reminisce about and cherish. To end this year (and this decade), we want to make sure we remember the good in the world. With emotions as heightened as they are today, polarizing people from all walks of life, it’s just as powerful to be able to unify people with a funny photo. Though this year has had its fair share of emotionally charged events that have been documented, published, and shared amongst the masses-politically mobilizing and dividing people around the world-there have also been serene moments of zen captured that have allowed people to simply smile.
