As luck would have it I’m currently tramping around New Zealand’s Tongariro National Park. All the majestic outdoor scenery and beautiful vistas have me in a particularly “natural” frame of mind. Exactly the reason I chose Flickr user Tina Hsu’s shot for today’s selection. Tina took this photo near Sedona, Arizona. I love the reddish rocky outcroppings and the perspective, framed nicely by a nearly cloudless blue sky.

Have any fantastic travel photos of some beautiful outdoor scenery? Or perhaps just the local botanic gardens? Why not share them with us by adding them to the Gadling pool on Flickr? We might just pick one of yours as our Photo of the Day.

Talk about a gorgeous night skyline. The red hues of Skye Bar at the Hotel Unique in Sao Paulo are set perfectly against the looming gray urban night. There’s something very alive about this photo, from the reflection of red lights in the pool to friends lingering under glowing umbrellas.

Our Photo of the Day comes to us from wesleyrosenblum, who has some pretty awesome shots of sites all over South America.

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!

Lisbon gets all the attention in Portugal, but flickr user StrudelMonkey shows us a slice of Portugal’s lesser-known Second City of Porto. The town (pop. 240,000) is famous as the home of Port wine and the town’s center was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site back in 1996– two more reasons Portugal is a can’t-miss destination for anyone traveling around Europe.

There has been some controversial architecture in Paris for a long time. But the Pompidou Center built in the ’70s was certainly contentious when it was built. This picture by longtime contributor Tyson Williams captures the colors and impact of the building well.

If you’re headed to Paris this summer, the Pompidou might be worth a visit.

This lushness of green is along the trek to Montezuma Falls in Tasmania. When crafterm was on his two-hour hike, these ferns towered above him, the tips of the fronds sometimes just above his head. The way he describes it, this trip was as stunning as it looks here. The way the textures pop out against the background is alluring.

Notice the black bug. In still-paintings of food and flowers, a bug can be a symbol of transience–sort of the idea that nothing is permanent, even beauty. One hopes that this gorgeous hiking trail stays that way.

If you have a stunning photo to share–one that gives us pause, send it our way at Gadling’s Flickr Photo Pool. It might be chosen as a Photo of the Day.
