Photo of the Day (7.10.10)

One of my favorite things about traveling in Asia is seeing the way waterways are incorporated into daily life: laundry, travel, bathing, dishes, playing and, in India, releasing the dead. This photo, taken by Flickr user Michael Joesph Goldst… etc in Burma (Myanmar), captures almost all of those activities while also giving a sense of the heat of the day. The stupa in the background adds a gentle reminder that we are in Asia.

This image jumps vividly, something that may have to do with how many impressions it casts simultaneously. It speaks immediately to the promise of a road trip and the lure of the open road. Its vibrant, humid greens place it in a tropical region, as does the bright sky, which looks downright mercurial. It may have been (mostly) blue at the moment of capture, but an afternoon rain looks like a safe bet.

Adal-Honduras snapped this beautiful photo in Nicaragua.

Got an image that suggests a thrilling road trip or that plays with tropical colors? Upload it to the Gadling Flickr pool and we might feature it as a Photo of the Day.

Delays happen. Sometimes there are mechanical issues. Other times, weather plays a role in the form of ash clouds or blizzards. And other times, your flight crew just needs to sample every flavor of Jelly Babies, the UK equivalent of Gummy Bears.

This Flickr shot from OurManWhere captures a moment in Bangkok in the Golden Age of Air Travel (at least for the crew) when travel is still an exciting and sweet time. So what if you are stuck in the airport when you could be enjoying a “Bigheart” treat? Add some local tabloid reading and a quick airport massage, and you could have a rather pleasant layover.

Catch any flight attendants on a sugar high or find a way to make the most of your flight delay? Submit your images to Gadling’s Flickr group right now and we might use it for a future Photo of the Day.

Love is, quite literally, in the air in Tzukik. A snapshot from Flavio@Flickr, this photo captures the hearts of onlookers everywhere. Seems the Tzukik sent their heartfelt love to everyone during their last appearance as the official jet of the Israeli Aerobatic Display Team.

Thanks, Flavio@Flickr for sharing!

This week I went aboard Virgin America’s inaugural flight from San Francisco to Toronto; and having visited Toronto only once before when I was young, I didn’t have very high expectations for Canada’s largest city. On this visit, I took the time to explore some of the outlying neighborhoods (Kensington Market) and cultural districts that really give Toronto a sense of flavor and diversity, and saw a different side that I can’t wait to visit again.

Flickr user PDPhotography has an incredible collection of photographs from Toronto that really capture the vibrance & quirks of the city. This shot was captured at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto, which takes place next month from August 20th to September 6th.
