This photos shows that even a still shot can embrace movement, and that travel (despite it’s bad rap for chaos and diversion) can be a peaceful experience.

It’s extremely hard to take good photos of wildlife. Animals move around a lot, many are active only at night and in the case of sharp-tooth predators, getting close can be downright hazardous to your health. That’s why I’m loving Flickr user toffiloff’s up-close-and-personal crocodile photo, taken at the Singapore Zoo. Sure, the danger element is gone, but there’s plenty of great technique at work here: the depth-of-field close-up on the croc and the beautiful reflection in the water’s glassy surface lend the image a true “National Geographic” feel. It makes a nice companion to this shot from earlier this month, doesn’t it?

Taking pictures of food has never been more popular. Nearly everyone I know creates their own “food porn.” Food has become an integral part of our travel stories and photographs. More often than not, we document the strange, extravagant and repulsive things that we ingest. Lost in those extremes are the images of the classics. What I love about this image by Flickr user Paul_Brady (whose tumblr blog is a must-read) is that it’s not showy. It’s not braggadocios. It’s just one man’s simple meal at New York City’s famous Gray’s Papaya (Upper West Side location).
We don’t have to constantly try to impress people with tales of fois gras and deep fried tarantulas. Sometimes, all it takes is a classic to make your friends’ mouths water.

Today’s well deserved Photo of the Day goes to Luke Robinson. This shot was taken at the Iguazu National Park in Argentina. He points out the boat at the bottom of the picture. I can’t imagine what the experience would be like from that vantage.
Just as the Niagara Falls can be viewed from both the U.S. and Canada, the falls can be seen from Argentina and Brazil. The Iguazu Falls were named as a Unesco World Heritage Site.
