Happy Thursday!
Second-time Photo of the Day contributor Tracey Hawryluk submitted two shots taken during an evening at Mowat Bay near the end of June. We couldn’t pick a favourite between the two, so both are part of today’s feature.
To submit a picture for Photo of the Day consideration, send it via email to [email protected] with the subject line “Photo of the Day.” Remember to include where and when you took the picture, what it is and your name (we want to give you credit). Horizontal photos are preferred.
