Photo of the Day (5.23.10)

Imagine coming across this fearsome Grizzly Bear in the woods. Pretty unnerving, right? Lucky for you, Flickr user mciccone640 got up-close-and-personal with this enormous animal so we don’t have to. The bear’s snarling jaws and immense bulk certainly quickened my pulse and got my blood pumping. What about you?

What is it with kids today? They always have their hair in their eyes, scowls on their faces and loud music blasting in their iPods. Why all the angst? And why do they all smell like they sprayed an entire bottle of Abercrombie & Fitch cologne on themselves? I blame the MTV. Or maybe it’s that Justin Bieber. Speaking of which, who the hell is Justin Bieber? Anyways, it’s nice to see that emo haircuts and forlorn looks have made their way to rural Thailand. Flickr user AlphaTangoBravo / Adam Baker found this hipster in a hill town in Chiang Dao. I’m guessing he loves Twilight.

Have a picture of a kid who hates his parents? Or maybe just some awesome travel photos? Upload them to our Flickr pool and we use one for a Photo of the Day.

I love photos that you can see yourself in, like this one from mikeyu1402, titled “1+2”. Taken on a beach in Asia (which is the only description I could find on the photo), the scene is perfect for anyone needing to escape a little reality in their day.

I love finding pictures of bicycles that have been loaded to their maximum capacity, like today’s Photo of the Day from andreakw.

The photo was snapped on the shores of Cuban resort town, Varadero – one of the largest resort areas in the Caribbean. Also known as Playa Azul, the town welcomes over 500,000 visitors per year with it’s white sand beaches, cays, caves, and water activities.

If you have a photo of a bicycle being used to its full potential, send it our way – submit to the Gadling Flickr Pool and it could be our next Photo of the Day!

Photo of the Day (05.17.10)

The best way to see a new place is to walk around. Wake up early, hit the streets and just wander. Through markets, up hills to scenic lookouts and through tiny neighborhoods that allow you to really see how people live. But all of that shopping, wandering, strolling and sightseeing can really wreak havoc on your feet. Sometimes you just need to sit your ass down, stay still for a while and let everyone else do the walking while you simply watch. That’s why, when you finally see a bench, it’s like a mirage in the desert. This photo by Flickr user flicts makes me so happy. There’s nothing like a well-placed bench after a day of being dragged around to shops, ruins and unforgiving cobblestone streets. Except for maybe a well-timed churro.

Seen any good spots to pop a squat? Why not add them to our Gadling group on Flickr? We might just pick one of yours as our Photo of the Day.
