Today’s Photo Of The Day is “First Light” by Kevin Russell. Location: Mount Rainier National Park, Washington.

“I hiked up on Mazama Ridge recently at Mt. Rainier to enjoy the wildflowers,” explains Russell. “The scenery was fantastic and getting there at first light was even better as there was nobody on the trails yet.”

Photo of the Day is chosen from various OP galleries, including Assignments, Galleries and the OP Contests. Assignments have weekly winners that are featured on the OP website homepage, Facebook and Twitter. To get your photos in the running, all you have to do is submit them.
