Photo of the Day
Kari Brown is finishing her semester at University of Life Sciences in Norway. She took this photo of the Great Oak on her way to class. The beauty of the photo is one element, but the fact that it was taken in the early afternoon with the sun so low in the sky is one of the subtle adjustments to living in a Norway.
