Jason Bechtel caught the California coastline in a layered mist last fall. It looks to be taken close to the spot of another Photo of the Day from last month. It’s amazing what a change in lighting and conditions can do for a landscape shot.

If you’ve been trying to improve your landscape photos, take a look at the article Karen Walrond wrote that includes a few tips to improve your shots.

Doesn’t it just make you want to take a ride across the moon, a la Elliott and E.T.?

Today’s photo of the day from kellinasf spawned memories of doll-like extraterrestrials and heart lights. There wasn’t much information about this photo’s location or what time of day it was taken, but it was captivating enough for me to pull it out of the bunch. Admittedly, I spent a few moments of my day reminiscing about flying bikes and scouring the pantry for Reeses Pieces.

If you have a photo worthy of a childhood flashback, submit it to Gadling’s Flickr group, and we might use it for a future Photo of the Day.

For most of you readers in the Northern Hemisphere, Spring is (finally) here! That means it’s time to start dusting off that outdoor gear and getting out into the springtime sun.

This perfectly timed shot was captured on Table Rock Lake in Branson, Missouri by photographer Graham Dodd. I love how the light is captured in this photo – and the incredible detail of the water particles suspended in the frame. Nice shot Graham!

People watching is an underappreciated travel pastime. In between sampling local delicacies, seeing the sights and taking countless posed photographs in front of funny street signs, we should all take more time to just observe the people who occupy the places we visit. Flickr user penton42 did just that when he spotted this gentleman in Santiago de Cuba. One is left to contemplate if this young man’s hairstyle is a celebration of his love for the iconic men’s magazine, a commentary on his life as a lothario or just something his barber thought up without ever telling him. Whatever the reason, it’s excellent penmanship.

Today’s Photo of the Day comes from RobertRexdotcom and was chosen to mourn the recent decision to take down this Southern California landmark and replace it with yet another large cell phone tower.

Apparently, with the advent of GPS, Hollywood residents no longer need the writing on the mountain to guide them home.

If you’ve always wanted to see the 87-year old sign, you’re last chance will be next year on the first of April, 2011.
