Marine biologists at NOVA have confirmed that seals are among some of the smartest mammals in the sea. This photo not only makes a statement, but shows the true intelligence of this beautiful animal by its stature and body language.
Have a photo of an animal (sea or otherwise) that shows some fun human characteristics? Upload it to the Gadling Flickr Pool and we might just choose your photo as our Photo of the Day.
Welcome to Asakusa in Tokyo, Japan – home of the Crying Sumo Baby Festival. Yes, you read that right. Crying sumo babies. The rules are simple: two sumo wrestlers face off in a ring and each is handed a baby. The babies are raised and whichever baby cries the loudest, wins. Brilliant!
This photo was taken by Flickr user Vyxle at the 2008 Crying Sumo Baby Festival. If you’re headed to Tokyo, this Asakusa guide lists the festival to be in ‘late April’, so keep an eye (and ear) out for the shrill sound of infant waterworks.
Click through below for a video from a Crying Sumo Baby Festival – a picture may be worth a thousand words, but there’s nothing like watching this cuteness in action.
If you have photos from an equally obscure festival, we want to see them! Join Flickr, submit them to the Gadling Pool, and it could be our next Photo of the Day!
San Francisco is a particularly photogenic city, between the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the city’s iconic cable cars. But these “same old” San Francisco shots get old after awhile – that’s why I’m loving today’s image from Flickr user evilninjam0nky, who captured this unique nighttime street scene. A frenzy of activity catches your eye in the foreground, as a blur of pedestrians and traffic scurries back and forth. It’s contrasted perfectly by a block of stoic old Victorian brownstones, which anchor the background.
Have any picturesque shots of San Francisco you’d like to share with Gadling? Why not add them to our Gadling group on Flickr? We might pick one of yours as our Photo of the Day.
I have an unusually small head. It makes buying hats quite difficult. Hats, you see, rarely look good on me. I always look like a child wearing daddy’s cap. It’s embarrassing. From fedoras to Stetsons, I almost always struggle to find my size in head wear. So I can sympathize with the young man in the background of this photo taken by Flickr user ³²¹. Taken in Guatemala, his problem is not unique to Central America. No, sir. Right here in New York City, I find myself surrounded by people with larger heads than mine. It’s infuriating. I can see the consternation on this poor man’s face and I understand. I, too, am all-to-often left to wonder, “why?” Why must I suffer from such a tiny head? Be brave, my Guatemalan compatriot. Be brave.
