Photo Of The Day By Beth Young

Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Sutter Buttes Mustard Sunset” by Beth Young. Location: Yuba City, California.

“A late afternoon drive to Sutter County with the intention of photographing the blooming almond orchards resulted instead in this composition of a vibrant sunset overlooking a massive field of mustard and the unique Sutter Buttes in the distance,” describes Young. The Buttes are referred to as the world’s smallest mountain range, just a tiny 2,000-foot tall outcropping of volcanic lava domes in the otherwise pancake flatness of California’s Central Valley.”

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. Exposure: 1.6 sec., f/14, ISO 200, 27mm.
