I’ve never had the pleasure of visiting Iguazu Falls, located on the border between Argentina and Brazil, but if this photo from Wesley Rosenblum is any indication, they’re probably one of the most impressive natural sights on the planet. In fact, legend has it that former United States First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt said upon seeing Iguazu Falls, “Poor Niagara!”

This picture, taken in Aruba by danner00 really caught my eye. I clicked on the large version of the picture and stared at the birds a while and marveled at how sharp he captured them. I’m still not sure what kind of birds they are, though. Anyone?
And are they considering a cactus landing? That can’t be comfortable.

This black and white photo by Bryson Gilbert reminds me that the birds will soon be on the move. By April, Ohio is filled with birds coming from the south, many on their way across Lake Erie to Canada–warblers in particular. These geese are in Toronto, Canada waiting for the rest of the ice to melt. There is a certain stillness in their stance as they wait. Yes, spring will happen. Not today, but soon.
One detail about this shot, I find so lovely is the twigs of the branches. Bryson noticed it too. As he wrote, he feels like he was spying. This shot is titled: The Secret Life of Geese.
If you have a shot to share, send it our way at Gadling’s Flickr Photo Pool. It might be picked for a Photo of the Day.
I’ve spent a large part of my day today checking in with friends of mine who live on the east coast of the US — my HEAVENS, but you guys are getting dumped on with snow! It’s for this reason I couldn’t resist posting this great photograph of New York taxis lined up and buried in the white stuff, shared by Global Voyager in the Gadling Flickr pool. Hang in there, guys. Spring is just around the corner.
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.
When I think about bicycles in the mountains, it tends to immediately remind me of the Tour de France. I picture an aerial camera shot of the riders, decked out in colorful jerseys, struggling up some ridiculously steep mountain pass. Flickr user kyAnosaUm also had cycling on his mind when he took this photo he describes as “Huge Bicycles on the Pyrenees.” I know several Tour de France stages run through the Pyrenees – perhaps there’s some connection here? In any case I love the setting and the random bicycles – it makes for quite the intriguing visual.
Have any photos you’ve taken in the Pyrenees? Or maybe just in the Poconos? Why not add them to the Gadling photo pool on Flickr? We might just pick one of yours as our Photo of the Day.
