Photo of the Day (5.1.09)

I agree with one of the commentors on this flickr photo from TysonWilliams. This pic, taken from the platform in Florence’s train station, is a “wicked vanishing point shot… nicely executed.”

Admittedly, I had to think back to my sixth-grade art class to remember what a “vanishing point” was, but after I did it made a lot of sense.

I think that it’s fitting to say goodbye to winter in North America with this shot from Max Waugh, aka ‘Fiznatty‘ on Flickr. Taken at the Fox Glacier in New Zealand, Max manages to capture the crisp, white glacier reflecting the blue sky above. The high contrast between those colors are what I like most about this picture.

Nice job, Max!

In Russia, according to AlphaTangoBravo/ Adam Baker who took this photo, folks are likely to break into song at any place at any time. Of these three, I’d say that the woman is belting it out. Baker said that Americans often get stuck in such situations when asked to sing because they fumble around trying to think of a song. Think show tunes is my motto.

One of the lovely aspects of this shot is how the clothing and the accordion helps set the scene. There aren’t many places I can think of where this wouldn’t be Russia. It’s also wonderful that the chipped and flaking paint is not important when it comes to making connections with others.

If you have a shot of people making connections, or any other one you feel mighty pleased with, send it our way at Gadling’s Flickr Photo Pool. It might be picked as a Photo of the Day.

Tickets to Germany have been on super sale for the past few weeks, as they normally are this time of the year. The problem is that most budget tickets are into Frankfurt, which hasn’t got a ton of exciting tourist attractions. Luckily, a variety of beautiful cities like Cologne are nearby, where the above picture of the Kölner Dom was taken by rafapdalbem1. Neat shot.

Man, if there was *ever* a study in colour and texture, this fabulous photograph is it. Shot and shared by Adal-Honduras, you can almost hear the sounds and smell the smells of this Guatemalan market. Beautiful capture!

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.
