I admit it: I’m a sucker for a great shot from the flight deck. And this image, captured by Fly for Fun (otherwise known as our very own Kent Wien) is a beaut — I love the saturated colours and compelling lighting, shot as the flight was descending into Boston. Well done, Captain!
If you’ve got some great travel shots you’d love to share, be sure to upload them to the Gadling pool on Flickr. We might just pick one as our Photo of the Day.
It’s tough to take really good candid photos of strangers. First you have to work up the courage to talk to them. Plus you have to convince your subject not to “pose” for you. It’s tricky business. That’s why I’m so impressed with Flickr user don.wright for catching this Vietnamese fisherman in action. The toothy smile, combined with the photogenic seaside background helps us catch a glimpse of our subject’s true personality.

I don’t want to know what’s going on in this photo by Flickr user hannah.r.freedman. And I certainly don’t want to know what lessons this girl is taking away from her inspection of a llama’s central business district. I just hope that she owns that animal. Because I was always taught not to look a gift llama in the butt.
Did you practice llama proctology when you were in Otavalo, Ecuador? Did you take any pictures of it? Or, better yet, have any travel photos that don’t involve you and llama having a reverse staring contest? Submit your images to Gadling’s Flickr group right now and we might use it for a future Photo of the Day.
Today’s Photo of the Day is from one of my favorite contributors, fdean55. One of my retirement dreams is to really explore the Monument Valley area in Utah down low, instead of 35,000 feet. In fact, that could have been me going by with the thin contrail behind the rock. The view from that altitude just doesn’t compare to what fdean55 captured.
UPDATE: fdean55 pointed out in the comments that it was actually Courthouse Towers, Arches National Park, Utah. Thanks
