The Irish population in Boston, where I’m currently spending my sabbatical, is among the highest in the nation, Beantown being the recipient of many immigrants during the potato famine in the mid 1800’s. You can see influence from the Irish all over the city, from statues erected in downtown Boston to pubs scattered throughout the city.
This photo, apparently taken by CaptBrando at Kinsey’s in Boston is the subject of all of those pubs and the great unifier among many travelers around the world. Beer. Magnificent, magnificend beer.

I’ve always love a good village-by-the-sea, but there’s something about the villages on the Greek isles that are just magical. This beautiful image shared by Cazimiro in the Gadling Flickr pool takes me back to an amazing holiday I once had in Santorini. I’ve been dying to go back every since. Really stunning shot.
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’m loving the simply symmetry of Flickr user arunchs’ photo above of mangoes in India. The repetition of pattern and form, the geometry of stacking and the bright colors all caught my eye. It’s offset nicely by a few touches of light pinkish-orange color on a few of the riper pieces of fruit, adding some nice breaks in the pattern. I doubt an abstract painter could ask for a better source of inspiration.

Take one guess where this photo was shot. Even if you’ve never been there, it’s not too difficult to tell. If you said America, you’re really warm. If you were even more accurate and said BOSTON, you’re right on the money! Maybe the towering blue Hancock building gave it away? Or was it the dark clouds that somehow loom over the city every fall and spring?
Though this photo, which comes to us in high definition from Patrick Powers, doesn’t show it, Beantown is celebrating the end of spring and the beginning of summer. And you know what that means: baseball, the Red Sox, Fenway — and lots of ’em! I was just there last weekend, and while the weather looked like this when I arrived, it was a bright and hot 75 degrees when I left. Ah…. Boston…
