Photo of the Day (4.10.09)

Here at Gadling, we believe strongly in the separation of church and blog. But as today is Good Friday, I’m attempting to make myself feel better for not going to church by posting this photo of a re-enactment of the crucifixion taken earlier today by Gadling fave wetboxers in the Filipino city of San Fernando.

PDPhotography caught a great moment. Sometimes you need just the right excuse to shoot a black and white picture, and he managed to find someone wearing a hat for this picture. The image almost takes us back far enough in time to fit in with the black and white theme.

But I won’t entertain any jokes about the ancient MD-80 in the background.

Well done PD!

This photo, like a still life painting, offers questions of the person who may have just stepped away. The chopsticks resting on the dish, the bean pods left behind and the silver wrapping are lit as if in a Rembrandt painting. This masterpiece was captured in Japan by mick62.

If you have any shots with interesting angles that have caught your fancy, send them our way at Gadling’s Flickr Photo Pool. One might end up picked for a Photo of the Day.

Photo of the day (4.07.09)


Fresh from my return from New Zealand, I can’t stop thinking about the range of beautiful scenery found in the corner of the world. Perhaps it’s because I’m jet lagged and can’t fall asleep.

This photo, taken by The Wide Wide World in Queenstown, NZ, summarizes what you’ll see in a typical day on the South Island: vast, sprawling landscapes, tall mountains, placid lakes and beer. I miss it already.

Photo of the Day (4.5.09)

I’m a sucker for great street art, so it’s only natural that Flickr user ohad*’s image from San Francisco’s Nob Hill neighborhood caught my eye. San Francisco tends to be quite the colorful city, especially in areas like the Mission District where street murals are plentiful. I particularly like the lettering of the word “COLD” in this mural – it almost seems to pop out at you in 3-D relief. That’s to say nothing of the bizarre fly-men hovering along the top. Pretty neat.

Have any travel photos of street art you’ve taken in San Francisco? Or maybe just some sculptures in Springfield, Illinois? Why not share them with our readers by adding them to the Gadling pool on Flickr? We might just pick one of yours as our Photo of the Day.
