Photo of the Day (8.8.09)


At first glance, this cliff looks precarious and tall, but when you look even more closely, you can see just how precarious the dwellings that sit atop it truly are. While I’ve always wondered what it would be like to live atop a cliff, I don’t think I’d ever be so daring as to do it.

This shot was taken on the lovely island of Corsica in France by mikegoldstein, whose photographs span nearly half the globe — from southeast Asia to the warm beaches of Europe. I’m in awe of the contrast between light and dark and the medium tones of the water that balance this photo so perfectly.

If you have some great travel shots you’d like to share, be sure to upload them to the Gadling pool on Flickr. We might just pick one as our Photo of the Day!

Photo of the Day (5.17.09)

When you think of fishing, it’s usually in the context of a leisurely afternoon. An old man crouched on a dock or boat, trapped in his own thoughts and the sounds of the sea. This fisherman capture, taken by Flickr user Michael JosephGoldst…etc near Sagres in Portugal, seems to perfectly embody that iconic visual. That’s to say nothing of the unique setting for the photo, fishing off the edge of a huge cliff – look out below!

For me, this photo by Temujin Photo represents for loneliness, and that feeling was only heightened when I read the caption: ‘Cabo de Roca. The place where Europe ends…’

Truth is, I’ve never been Cabo da Roca, and if this photo wasn’t quite so, well, blue, we’d probably see it as a charming seaside place instead of an expansive, isolated viewpoint. Kudos to the photographer for capturing an emotion so perfectly in a lens.
