The person riding his bike in this swirl of energy is in Basel, Switzerland navigating the city’s rush hour traffic. Photographer jrodmanjr was on his bike as well and expressed amazement that riders could navigate Basel’s rain slick pavement with such finesse.
If you’ve captured images of energy and amazement, send them our way at Gadling’s Flickr photo pool. Images of stillness capture our fancy as well.
There’s nothing like a good nighttime street scene, and this one, created and shared by jrodmanjr, is positively perfect. It’s a stellar example of a photograph that exploits the light — not only are the streetlights perfectly exposed, but the photographer really takes advantage of the reflection of the light on the walls and the wet cobblestone streets.

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.
