Reader Photo of the Day
The photo above was submitted to the Moon Travel Guides photo group on Flickr, and we loved it.
This vibrant picture was taken by Charlene Collins of Kingston, Jamaica. Here's what she had to say about the picture:
"This photo was taken at Frenchman's Bay in the Treasure Beach area. The owner of the house didn't want me to take the photo because some vandals had broken the window and the house wasn't presentable. After a little while she relented and I took one of my favorite photos."
Charlene will receive a free Moon guidebook of her choice for having her picture selected as our photo of the day.
