This Month in Photo of the Day: Your Photos
In the wild territories of south Kyrgyzstan, not far from the legendary high-altitude Torugart Pass, lies the Tash Rabat Caravanserai. A true reminder of the glorious Silk Road history of travels pictured here on a clear morning sunlight.

What Makes This a Photo of the Day? I like to have a few strong landscapes in the mix every month. The location itself is of course beautiful, but the photograph also conveys the beauty of the Tash Rabat Caravanserai nestled among the velvety brown hills. —Alexa Keefe, Photo of the Day editor
