Welcome to Photo of the Day. The POTD thread was started by iGary in May, 2006 and converted to a monthly thread in November 2007 by Arn. POTD is one of the most popular picture groups on MacRumors, often exceeding 500 posts and 20,000 views per month.
Photo of the Day is intended to be a showcase for your best pictures. There is no limit to your gear, just your imagination. P&S and film cameras are welcome along with DSLRs. There are no themes like the Weekly Contest, and no winners (or losers) either.
POTD Thread Policies

  • One Photo per Day - Don't post more than one photo each day. Diptychs, triptychs, etc. are OK.
  • All photos should be your own work unless special circumstances have been agreed.
  • Multi-Quote - To comment on several photos, click the "+ (Multi-Quote) button. This puts all your comments in one post. Multi-Quoting is required on all of the MacRumors forums.
  • Safe for Work (SFW) only - This is a site-wide rule. If you wouldn't show it in a public place, then it's NSFW (not safe for work). Think before you post.
  • Describe your photo - Tell what it is and where you took it. If you know the EXIF data of a photo, include it. The following EXIF fields are recommended: Camera, ISO, Focal Length, Shutter/Aperture and Lens.
  • Note: Anyone may start the Photo of the Day thread on the first of the month GMT. Please copy a quote of this post to maintain all the formatting.
  • Please don't alter or expand these policies - If you think they need improvement, use a separate thread to discuss.

View of Lake Smith in Alabama from one of my sister's deck. We all agreed it would be improved if they edited the trees a little. Got eaten alive by bugs—no-see-ums, I think—the last night there. 12 bites on the back of my right arm alone. Not real fun. I didn't have bug repellent on because we were sitting in front of a good fan that I thought would surely blow the mosquitos away. Sadly, the wind was only in the front and the no-see-ums attacked from the back.

iPhone 16e with a fews tweaks in Luminar Neo plug-in for Photos.

Culp-Valley-overlook_Anza-Borrego-SP.jpg


--29 June, 2025; 05:50:45; iPhone 13-mini; defaults; after a 30min climb....

I normally enjoy a stay at the Borrego Palm Campground.

Couldn't retrieve actual 'Reserved Campsites' on the ca.gov website, so I just had to get my f-flops on the ground!

(Came-from Oceanside), and traveled East on Montezuma Valley Rd. from the Henshaw depression; did the twisty-windy down from the Anza plateau, and into the Borrego Desert.

I drove-in to see if spots were open; but--most-importantly--I needed to decide if 45C was a Environment that I could occupy.

Unfortunately, it was not.

So, I drove-back-up 300m+ in elevation (it was about 20km-linear) and into to Culp Valley Campground where I stayed the Night.

There is 5-bar 5G in the Borrego Springs Valley, but no-signal up on the ridge.

It was a good choice.

My only regret was not waking earlier, that I could have experienced pre-sunrise.
