Photo Of The Day 10/19/2012
Colorado Sunrise by Kathleen Wasselle Croft
Kathleen Wasselle Croft’s photo from the San Juan Mountains in Colorado was sent in to the Cloudscapes Assignment and it’s today’s Photo Of The Day. She writes about getting this photograph, “The snowstorm that hung around for a few days finally decided to exit at sunrise unveiling a blanketed mountain range with exploding fall colors below. It was the perfect scenario to experience with the glowing yellow aspen, the vibrant red gamble oaks and the snow covered San Juan mountain range.”
The Cloudscapes Assignment is currently open for submissions.
Get your photos into the running for the Photo Of The Day by submitting the OP galleries. I select a Photo Of The Day everyday. Images come from Your Favorite Places, Assignments and the contest galleries. The Assignments and the Your Favorite Places sections of the website have been improved with larger photos and new functions. Take a look at the improvements. You can see more of my Photo Of The Day selections on the OP Blog.
