My family and I are currently on vacation in Seattle. So how could I pass up this picture of the Space Needle for today’s photo of the day. Not to mention it was the scene of my first date with my (now) wife back when we were in high school.

This photo by AnBok captures the iconic symbol from the perfect vantage point – just behind Lake Union.

Well done AnBok!

At St. Mark’s Square in Venice, Italy, as StrudelMonkey who took this shot says, there are pigeons galore. These are just two of them. I love the movement in the image on the left in contrast to the bird on the right. A perfect shot snapped at a perfect travel moment.

As I was in St. Mark’s Square just three days ago with my son who sat still trying to get pigeons to eat cracker crumbs out of his hand, this picture brought back a memory of a perfect travel moment that made me smile.

If you have a shot of a perfect travel moment, send it our way at Gadling’s Flicker Photo Pool.

With Summer comes the road trip. That inevitable urge to get out on the open road in search of adventure and fun. And let’s not forget, the chance you might come upon a quirky roadside attraction or sign? It’s this perfectly posed roadside T-Rex that got us looking at Flickr user Peter Rivera’s shot today. Peter captured this strange beast near Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. Did you check out our roadside attractions day on Gadling? If not, make sure to take a look.

When I think of the word “silhouette” I think of that old 50’s song about a guy watching a couple kissing in the silhouette of a window shade. There’s something special about silhouettes that make me want to sigh. This particular photograph also makes me smile. You can tell a lot from the hats the men here are wearing and the exchange is a friendly one between two (or maybe three) cultures.

Based on the title of this photo, “Primera Venta” (“First Sale”), our photographer of the day, penton42, captured a pretty sweet moment in rural Guatemala.

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!

AlphaTangoBravo or Adam Baker is quickly becoming one of my favorite contributors to Gadling’s Flickr photo of the day pool. This amazing sunset was taken at the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. Adam calls it Maize and Blue.

Can you top this?
