Photo of the Day (7.26.09)

Neon reminds me of roadtrips. The open road. A solitary roadside motel with a glowing neon sign, welcoming weary travelers like a beacon on a lighthouse. When I saw this neon photo by dizzylizzie129, taken in Taos, New Mexico, it had me immediately thinking about the open road. Aside from the warm glow of the blue and yellow light, I quite like this electric cowboy’s goofy grin – it has a real personality to it. I could easily imagine an encounter with this sign out on some lonely road, late at night.

It’s always fun to play with objects and light, as Gadling’s faithful photographer austin fain shows us here. The light glowing from behind this cross makes the image even more powerful, don’t you think?

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 would imagine that political races are different in Kiev, Ukraine from what I’m used to. But I had to do a double take at this picture by borderfilms (Doug). I had to look closely to see if it was altered in any way. I think it’s real, but who knows.

If it is, then this is one heck of a way to make a statement. It sure beats the wire framed political signs growing in front yards across the U.S. last year.

Check out his other pictures here. Doug really knows how to capture a moment everywhere he goes.

This photo by JasonBechtel caught my attention for a couple of reasons.

  1. It’s not from where one might think. Jason was wandering in Santa Fe, New Mexico as part of a road trip when the Ganesh enticed him to stop at this store mostly filled with Buddha statues.
  2. Considering my own road trip included Santa Fe–I was there this past Saturday, I’m interested to see which images attracted another traveler’s gaze.
  3. This photo does attest to the fact that Santa Fe does have variety. It’s not all Mexican, Hispanic and Native American fare. Much of it, but not all.
  4. Plus, I like the textures and colors of both of these statues when paired together. Peaceful and happy.

If you have any images of your travels post them at Gadling’s Flickr photo pool for a chance for one to be chosen as Photo of the Day.

As we wind down Beach Day here at Gadling, it just seems appropriate to feature this stunning image captured by Patrick Powers and shared in our Gadling Flickr pool. Patrick aptly calls this shot, “If it’s a tequila sunrise, does that make this a vodka sunset?”

I dunno, Patrick, but I like the way you think. Meet me at the bar to the right of this image?
