Photo of the day 1.19.10


You just never know what you’ll see in New York City. This picture, taken by ncarling, is a great shot of old-meets-new as the cabs whiz by the steeds in the street. Looks like it was a slow day in the city, but great job ncarling for grabbing the shot before being trampled by various forms of transportation.

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.

Sometimes, the most fulfilling adventure you can have when traveling is trying the local cuisine, as exemplified by this photograph entitled “Street Food is the Best Food,” shot and shared by Bernard-SD. This is food photography at its finest, folks: beautifully lit, with lots of saturated colour and impeccable detail. Well done!

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.

I love looking at bridges. Whether it’s a historic structure like the Brooklyn Bridge or a modern one like the bridge photographed here by AlexSven, they’re a wonderful blend of the functional and the beautiful all in one package. I like how the lines from the bridge’s cables shoot off in all directions, like some kind of futuristic spider web.

Photo of the Day (01.16.10)

No, this isn’t a photo that a young Don Quixote brought to school for show and tell. It’s a bucolic scene on Russia’s Kizhi island captured by Flickr user kellinasf. While I wouldn’t want to be the gentleman charged with manning this windmill (are windmills manned?), I’d love to spend an afternoon laying in that field, staring at the clouds and doodling in a journal.

Kizhi is known for its wooden churches, chapels and houses. The structures are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site which draws thousands of tourists every year. But, for my money, a day in this meadow listening to the wind rustle the leaves of that tree and the creaking of the wooden windmill would be the only way I’d want to enjoy a visit to Kizhi. Call me simple, but that’s all I would need. Well, if someone packed me an eight-foot party sub for the afternoon, I wouldn’t complain about that either.

Have a picture of a comically large sandwich (or anything else worth showing from your travels)? 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 comes to us from Flickr user kanelstrand, who took this shot on a walking path in Norway. “In the midst of winter I remember spring,” the photo’s caption reads.

So do we, with help from this beautiful landscape.
