Photo of the Day
A Blaze From Afar
A young woman watches from the beach of Son Serra, Mallorca, as a firefighting plane flies above a wildfire, splashing cold water on what looks to be an otherwise scenic beach day. Your Shot photographer Sergej Chursyn captured this stark image as the fires ravaged the Spanish island during summer 2016, in part due to dry conditions and high winds.
