Photo of the Day
Stars and Sand
"This is not a snow-capped mountain," says Your Shot photographer Hu Qing. Rather, the wind has whipped sand dunes in and around China's Pamir Mountains, feats of nature that are constantly changing. To capture this image at night, Hu used a long exposure of two minutes. This photo was submitted to Your Shot, our photo community on Instagram.
