Haven't you had a day that has felt like this? ultraclay, who took this shot in Paris as part of a Honeymoon Set, didn't specify where this statue is located. Regardless, I'm intrigued by contrast between the soft, airy quality of the sky and the despair illustrated by the figure's stance. This photo is one example how to provide interest by the angle you choose. In this case, the statue looms and my emotions feel stirred.

If you have a shot that has stirred you, stir us and send it our way to the Gadling Flickr Photo Pool. It might be chosen as Photo of the Day.

Animal lovers, avert your eyes!

This photo from Theodore Scott shows a matador standing over a dying bull (in an admittedly lop-sided fight) at a stadium in Seville, Spain.

Many consider bullfights to be a rather grotesque spectacle, and I can't say I disagree entirely, but they're an integral part of many cultures worldwide, and seeing one, especially for the first time, is certainly an experience to remember.

I chose this picture as today's Photo of the Day for a few reasons. One is because Jeremy Baumgartner took it at Fisherman's Wharf at Monterey Harbor in California on New Year's Eve, January 1, 2008. Featuring it today seems symmetrical. In a year that has had so many ups and downs, symmetry feels fitting and the photo exudes a stillness and calm.

With the hoopla around New Year's Eve and the upset 2008 has brought, there's a need for calm and the time to consider the stars. If you look above the warm, friendly glow of the sailboats, you'll see Orion's Belt. It's one of the largest constellations and the one that everyone around the world can see. Part of the belt is the three close together vertical stars.
