Best of 2017: Mecca Seen From Above and a Refreshing Dust Bath

GUIDED BY THE LIGHT

The lights from the boats attract the Shirasu eel at night in Tokushima, Japan. Your Shot photo editor Matt Adams published this photo in the Daily Dozen saying, “This image felt very out of this world and sci-fi and I just love this scene. What a cool thing to witness and then to capture with your camera.”
