Photo of the Day (11-12-08)

In the theme of places you gotta see before you’re twelve, here’s my suggestion. A dock. Any dock that’s perfect for jumping into a lake will do. jonrawlingson, who snapped this shot of a boy taking a leap in Gibraltar, caught the lighting and the movement at just the right time. I love the way the boy’s legs and arms are positioned–just like poetry.

About this photo–Jon posted it in 2005. It may take awhile, but one of these days, when you’ve given up, there is your artistry as a Photo of the Day. Send us your best to our Flickr photo pool.

I found myself in Dublin this past weekend, visiting the Irish city with a few close friends from my youth. While the city isn’t particularly known for its architectural masterpieces, one of my favorite aspects of the city is the brickwork all over the place — on the buildings, around the Guinness factory, covering the street.

This photo by Mister Rad shows that work around some of the front doors in Dublin and is an excellent, colorful illustration of architecture around town.

This is a shot you expect to see at the beginning or the end of a great film. Taken by fellow Gadling contributor Anna Brones, the picture is of Lake Mcdonald in Glacier National Park, Montana. It’s incredible how you can see a crystal clear reflection of the mountains in the lake.

I particularly like this picture because it transmits the calm and serenity of the place, you can feel it though this image without having been there. I imagine sunset or sunrise at this spot would be spectacular. When I travel, I always look out for such spots. I can see myself sitting on the edge of this ramp with my feet dangling in the water, reflecting, contemplating, or just being. Sigh.

Thanks for the photo, Anna!

Sorting through our pool today, I found my eye particularly attracted to this photo by jamescapstone. James was in Bangkok when he took this shot of a local temple. I love the perspective – by shooting this from down low, James was able to make the temple tower and stretch up above our field of view. It looks downright otherworldly doesn’t it? I’m curious if this is some kind of camera lens trick. Way to go James…thanks for the photo.

Have any amazing photos of temples in Thailand? Or even a cathedral in Corsica? Add them to the Gadling photo pool on Flickr. We might just pick it as our Photo of the Day.

No matter what your political leanings are, we’re all going to remember where we were on November 4, 2008. The momentous election of an African American as US President was watched around the world. This photo by pirano of various foreign newspapers all featuring President-Elect Barack Obama gives us an idea of just how “global” the American election was. Where were you?
