Ruh-roh. Luks like sombodeez in twubble! Seriously, though? How nice is it to see a happy dog, rather than the usual developing-country stray, take off with one of those plastic stools I always eat my lunch on? True, this picture was taken in Guatemala, where I’ve never been, so maybe there are fewer stray dogs there than in Asia. Regardless, well-fed dogs make me happy. Thanks, Flickr user BaboMike, for sharing this photo with Gadling.

Have any photos from your travels that make you feel better about the state of dogs in developing countries? Or just any cool pics from your trip? Upload them to Gadling’s Flickr pool and we just might choose one for our Photo of the Day feature.

This grainy, black-and-white image of the Toronto City Hall by roxie88 makes Viljo Revell’s triumphant mid-1960s building look downright sultry, even mysterious. It’s easy to imagine well-trained double agents wandering the halls of this building with pilfered files in their briefcases. In real life, it’s more likely that city officials sit in these offices, hiding nothing more than their inappropriate browser histories.

Got an image that provides a new or suggestible context for an everyday object, place, or person? Upload it to Gadling’s Flickr pool. If you’re lucky, we’ll use it for our Photo of the Day.

Some of the best travel photos tell a story or capture a stranger in a private moment. This candid portrait of a woman in Tel Aviv, Israel reading in a window by Flavio@Flickr does both beautifully. What is she so absorbed in reading? It could be an alarming news story or a love poem, or she could just be catching up on the latest Lindsay Lohan antics. At any rate, her image tells an interesting story and invites the viewer to contemplate what could be going on inside the window.

Do your photos have a great story to tell? Upload them to Gadling’s Flickr group and we might use one for a future Photo of the Day.

If you subscribe to the theories of the spiritual world (whichever spirit you choose) you know there are certain aspects of architecture that are said to transport you to the next phase of your life. In Feng Shui, for example, we’re taught that by hanging ‘forward thinking’ pictures and photos in various rooms, we’ll inspire our future with the power of positive thinking and placement. But what, exactly, is a forward thinking photo?

See today’s Photo of the Day, by t3mujin. Archways are a symbol of new beginnings, new opportunities and new outcomes, and this particular photo has us wondering what’s on the other side of the bend…

Do you have a photo that inspires a forward-thinking movement? Upload your picture to the Gadling Flickr pool and we might choose your snapshot to feature as a Photo of the Day.

Holy mackerel! Er, more like holy scad! This thrilling moment under the sea was captured by Flickr user Ka wai punahele off the coast of Bonaire, an island in the southern chain of the Netherlands Antilles.

The photographer writes; “It’s an amazing experience to have a big shoal of fish come straight towards you and then suddenly change direction and swim around you – quite surreal.” Bonaire is world renowned for its excellent scuba diving and is consistently rated among the best diving locations in the world. Even Bonaire’s license plates carry the logo Diver’s Paradise!


If you have an incredible travel moment to share, upload it to Flickr and include it in our Gadling Flickr Pool; it could be our next Photo of the Day!
