Misty Mandalay

Photograph by Toshi Miyamoto , National Geographic Your Shot

It was freezing cold for southern California, writes Your Shot member Toshi Miyamoto , who attempted to keep his triplets entertained while awaiting the inevitable beauty of sunset over a beach shrouded in mist. He had been driving with his wife and children along Mandalay Beach in Oxnard when he saw the scene s potential. I knew that day s sunset was going to be a special one. We had an amazing time playing there.

Miyamoto's picture recently appeared in Your Shot's Daily Dozen .
