Photo By Wendy Gedack

Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Explore Every Moment” by Wendy Gedack. Location: San Juan Mountains, Colorado.

“This image was taken of Mt. Sneffels in the San Juan Mountain area outside of Ridgway, Colorado, as the dramatic clouds moved into the area and danced around this majestic mountain,” explains Gedack. “I’m motivated every year to return to this area to view and photograph the amazing light and colors of fall. Its ever-changing atmosphere draws me to this place in hopes of capturing the essence of this place.”
