Photo By Gene Putney Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Shoshoni Peak” by Gene Putney. Location: Indian Peaks Wilderness Area, Colorado. “In the month of August, just before sunrise, I arrived at the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area to initially look for moose to photograph,” says Putney. “As I waited for the light to get brighter, I saw this dramatic landscape scene develop and took advantage of photographing it as the sun broke through the clouds, highlighting Shoshoni Peak.
