Truly great architecture has its own personality. The best buildings are not merely structures with walls, doors and windows. They tell you something about how they were made and the character of the places they were built. When I saw Flickr user scottmschutlz’s playful photo, I immediately knew it was taken at Gaudi’s Casa Milà in Barcelona. The fluid curves of the cement and quirky human-like face of this sculpture tip their hat to the whimsical, artistic traditions of this favorite Spanish city.

October is a month full of amazingly fun festivals and events, and it kicked off in Austin with the Austin City Limits Music Festival last weekend. There’s plenty to get excited about as the month continues, so be sure to check out the Gadling’s “Get out and go” updates for more.

Today’s photo of this pretty Austin sunset comes to us from sulla55. If you have some great travel shots you’d like 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 don’t buy into the idea that Amsterdam is nothing more than a hedonist’s paradise, but one could be forgiven for thinking that after seeing this bizarre assortment of condoms on display.

Flickr user Peter Rivera took this shot, which, if I’m not mistaken, features a condom painted to look like Big Ben. [Insert Write your own punchline here.]

Mingthein posted this picture to our Flickr group page a few years ago, but I’ve only just now stumbled upon it. Karen Walrond wrote in her Gadling feature, Through the Gadling Lens, about shooting cities at twilight, and she also covered cloud and sky photography just prior to that.

So it seemed fitting to post this, a picture from Kuala Lumpour that effectively used the techniques featured in both of Karen’s articles. I’ve never thought of exposing for a distant cloud. Way to go, Ming!

I do love an iconic silhouette, and this one of the Statue of Liberty, shot and shared by othernel, is a classic. There’s no mistaking this landmark, is there? Really beautifully done.
