Check out yesterday's National Geographic's photo of the day - Misty Sunrise.

"Photographer and National Geographic Explorer Carlton Ward Jr. wanted to get close as close as possible to these Florida cracker cattle on the pastures of the state's Buck Island Ranch. Using a wide angle lens, Ward witnessed the ranchers herding the cattle on horseback before dawn. 'I was looking for the layering for the story,' he tells National Geographic.
