Photo By Jeremy Janus Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Standley Lake Sunset” by Jeremy Janus. Location: Colorado. “Early in the afternoon I saw the clouds forming and sky splitting, so I knew it was going to be an amazing sunset,” says Janus. “I drove out about a half-hour from Denver to one of my favorite lakes to capture the occasion.

That’s it. No leading, no tracking, and if you type more than a few words you can’t even see them inside the text field. It. Just....
