Photo By Christoph Stopka Today’s Photo of the Day is “Foggy Petit Manan Sunrise” by Christoph Stopka. Location: Steuben, Maine. “I shot this photo by drone because it was simply a foggy, soupy mess where I was standing (on the shore of the bay, eye level with the forest), but I figured that it would most likely look completely different from above,” explains Stopka. “I guessed right…what a beautiful scene suddenly opening up below the drone! I really love the way the trees are spreading their seemingly endless shadows through the fog.” Want to get your images in the running for a Photo of the Day feature?
