Photo Of The Day By Christopher Mills

Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Katahdin Reflections” by Christopher Mills. Location: Baxter State Park, Piscataquis County, Maine.

“After spending a night in a tent at Roaring Brook Campground in Baxter State Park, I woke up at 4 a.m. and started hiking to Sandy Stream Pond,” explains Mills. “I got to the pond about 10 minutes before sunrise and made my way out to what they call ‘Big Rock’ and set up my camera and tripod and waited for the sun to rise. Mount Katahdin was being hugged by a few clouds left over from the thunderstorms of the day before. The pond was so still as the golden light from sunrise hit the mountain creating a perfect reflection. It was a perfect morning.”
