Five 75mm Howitzers. Concert, 1812 Overture. West Point, New York. August 31, 1991.
My favorite image for August 31 comes from the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York.
I was at West Point over Labor Day weekend and they had a Saturday night concert. I was listening to the 1812 Overture and when they got to the place in the music for the canons to fire, I heard a loud boom from on top of the hill to the right of the audience. I ran up the hill with a tripod and camera bag.
A row of howitzers was providing the canon fire for the overture. I put my camera on the tripod and locked open the shutter long enough to capture the firing of several howitzers.
Denali Sunrise, Reflection Pond. Denali National Park, Alaska. August 31, 2000.
My second place choice for favorite image of the day comes from Alaska. It was sunrise and I was at Reflection Pond in Denali National Park. The light on Denali was amazing.
Denali National Park is an amazing place. I high recommend you stay at Camp Denali which is near the end of the park road. Every cabin at Camp Denali has a view of Denali (Mt. McKinley).
Anoush Anou, Worthington, Ohio. August 31, 2018.
Anoush and I have been planning for months to do a photo shoot at this stream. We needed a day without too much sunlight and that kept happening when one or the other of us was on the road. We finally found a workable day that we were both in town. This is my third favorite image for August 31.
