Photo Of The Day By Laura Zirino

Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Zion Sunrise” by Laura Zirino. Location: Zion National Park, Utah.

This was the last day of a 10-day photography trip across Utah,” explains Zirino. “The sunrise didn’t look like much when I woke up, so I went to breakfast instead. About halfway through I looked out the window and saw dark clouds building behind the Tower of the Virgin. I hightailed it out of there, headed to the first spot I could find, and the sky suddenly lit on fire. I gasped—I’ve never seen anything like this. I started shooting with the equipment I had from the night before because there wasn’t any time to change it.”
