From surf competitions to an airshow to the preparations for a new art museum, Orange County was busy with events in September.

The bright shots from the sky had photographers scrambling to capture images of the rare event.

It was a day of indelible images — apocalyptic, surreal, violent, ghostly, both monumental and profoundly personal. Wrenching to remember. Impossible to forget.

Cameras quickly appeared, with people snapping photos from the pier and on the sand, to mark the odd moment that friends will surely not believe unless they have evidence: A goat surfing waves in San Clemente.

We saw empty freeways, barren beaches and deserted theme parks. But we also saw people coming together for their neighbors and getting creative to solve problems.

We asked our photographers to choose their favorite photos from 2020, and here are some of the amazing images they selected.

In Seal Beach, M&M Surf School founder Michael Pless continued his three-decades-long tradition of riding waves in a Santa costume on the north side of the pier, something he’s been doing since the early ’90s.

If the glamorous-looking mandarin duck were a person and walked into a crowded room, all conversations would stop and heads would turn. It has been called by many the world’s most beautiful duck, and it certainly looks that way when floating on a local pond with other ducks.

The glamorous-looking mandarin duck stands out from the rest of the waterfowl floating on local ponds.

Surf was even bigger at stand-out spots like the Wedge in Newport Beach, where some waves hit upward of 10 feet, drawing a crowd who watched as surfers, bodyboarders and bodysurfers raced down wild waves.

A swell brought waves up to 10 feet at the Wedge on Wednesday, while a heat advisory warns of temps near 100 degrees inland.

For the past six months, almost every facet of our lives has changed – covered faces, empty shelves, remote learning and drive-thru everything.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues, so did our coverage of how people in the county are dealing with the health crisis.

As the pandemic continues, and we see changes in society, we also saw bits of normalcy; fireworks on Independence Day, beach-goers in the sun and people getting married.

An epic swell with no crowds out in the water and no one on the sand watching the magnificent sight.

With beaches shut down over the holiday weekend, the Wedge was largely on lock down — but we got pictures to show the monster waves that showed up.

As the county came out of its total quarantine, we watched kids play in reopened-pools and families gather at churches.

From graduation car parades to crowds demanding an end to police brutality — our photographers were there.
