Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Monterey Bay” by Douglas Croft. Location: Monterey Bay, California.

“A humpback whale breaches spectacularly,” says Croft. “Monterey Bay is one of the best places in the world to see humpback whales. It was an overcast day with flat light, so the detail was incredible.”
