Photo of the Day (3.7.2010)

by Jeremy Kressmann on

Only when we take a step back from our travels do we begin to see the bigger picture. Those moments where you slow down, take a deep breath and allow your senses to take in the rich sensory experience of traveling. Flickr user Many Moon Honeymoon has the right idea with today’s photo from Vang Vieng, Laos. It’s just a field of stupid plants, right? But take another look. The rich patterns of the leaves. The many shades of green. The solitary farmer, crouched in her bright blue hat. Amazing how such a mundane scene could be so striking, isn’t it?

I’m one of those people who believes that it’s OK to pee in the ocean. And in lakes. And pools. Basically, bodies of water bigger than my bathtub are fair game for urination. But, I’m always worried that pools will have that dye that activates when urine is introduced into the water. Can you imagine how embarrassing that would be? Anyway, I was reminded of how nice it is to just pee in the water when I saw this picture by Flickr user JasonBechtel. This sea lion is hidden so perfectly in the dark water. Even if that pee dye were activated, who would notice? Lucky sea lion.

Have a picture of some public urination? Or, even better, any great travel photos? Submit your images to Gadling’s Flickr group right now and we might use it for a future Photo of the Day.

This photo (click to enlarge) from Flickr user chris_nevins shows a plane being de-iced on a cold morning in Salt Lake City. It’s easy to forget all the things that must happen behind the scenes in order to keep our flights safe, smooth, and on time. Fortunately there are photos like this to remind us of what we often take for granted.

Today’s photo of the day comes from RuthannOC while traveling through New Zealand. Ruthann has a thing for road shots and this one just may be her best. By setting the camera right on the white line, she’s added some ‘interestingness’ to the beautiful landscape.

She says the shot was taken near Hanmer Springs, NZ in December.

Today’s Photo of the Day comes from Flickr user twoeightnine. Taken just north of San Simeon, California, this great landscape shot captures the beautiful combination of mist, pines, and rocky coastline that Northern California is famous for.

If you’ve never thought about driving California’s Pacific Coast Highway, you can read up about it here to see why it’s one of the best road trips that the United States has to offer.
