Marian curated today’s photo. In honor of the Democratic convention starting—and possibly ushering in a new political era—she presents this lovely sunrise taken from the road leading up to Mt. Baldy. I myself am not quite so sure of the whole new era business, but that’s what I get for spending 20 years of my life on this stuff and getting cynical about it. Still, it’s a pretty picture either way.
