December 2016 Photo of the Day Recap Gallery + Voting

January 5, 2017 • News

We didn’t quite know what to expect when we kicked off our new Photo of the Day feature on December 1st (with a barrel shot from Alabama no less!), but we immediately saw a fantastic response. Photographers up and down the East Coast and across the Gulf, Caribbean, and Great Lakes now submit their shots mere hours after they’re taken, adding a rad #liveaction component to our website and social media channels. And we’ve racked up thousands of hits and countless insights on the wide array of shots we picked each day. Which means we’re extra stoked to bless you with this gallery, which contains every single December 2016 #esmPOTD recap selected last month. These being heady Internet-driven times, we’ve also introduced an online voting poll at the bottom (live until 11:59 PM Sunday, January 15th) so that you can pick your favorite. Have a look, relive the excellent month of December, and then make your voice heard. Oh, and photographers — keep those sick shots coming!
