Today’s Photo of the Day was submitted to the Your Favorite Places Gallery by Kirk Nix.
“This shot was taken at the Red Rock National Recreation Area after a series of storms passed through the area. This was a great sunrise, it had to be seen to be believed. We are finally getting the much needed rain,” says Nix who used a Pentax K5 and Pentax DA* 16-50mm F2.8 lens to get the shot.
