Photo of the Day

April 8, 2017

By the Moonlight

"Seeking serenity, a young family decides to hike the mesquite dunes of Death Valley avoiding both the heat and the crowds of the day", said Your Shot photographer Sapna Reddy on her submission to the Minimalism assignment on Your Shot. "The tones and the textures of the shifting sand dunes under the moonlight, a silent testimony to the beauty of the barren; colors and complexity swept away under the blanket of darkness."
