This shot, from flickr user colmdc, was taken at the Jacob’s Creek Vineyards in South Australia’s Barossa Valley. I love just about everything about this photo– its three distinct layers of perspective, its colors, its otherworldly feel. Makes me pine for a good class of shiraz just looking at it.

Fiznatty does it again with today’s Photo of the Day. This shot, taken in northern Sweden, just screams winter, doesn’t it? He used a 25 second exposure and ‘painted’ the bath house with a flashlight while the shutter was open.
I like how the northern lights shoot upward above the house, almost as if the heat from the bath house generated the glow. Having grown up in Alaska, I’ve seen this kind of view a number of times, but I can’t think of a better place than Sweden to really experience the aurora borealis.
Nice job, Fiznatty!

Originally, I chose this shot because of the radio that is somewhere in this barbershop in India. Lecerle mentions it in his essay that accompanies his artistry at Gadling’s photo pool.
I wanted a radio shot because of a line in Obama’s acceptance speech last night. He mentioned people gathered around radios around the world listening to the news. I thought about all the people I’ve seen gathered around radios whenever I’ve traveled. No matter how remote a corner peoole are on the planet, a radio pulls them into the rest of humanity.
The shot also attracted me because of its stage like quality–a scene just waiting for the actors to show up. Plus, the essay is a lovely trip to an Indian barber. I wonder what the buzz is here today and what words are coming out of the radio?

With everyone getting all riled up about the elections and all today, I thought that I would pick a more gentile subject for the photo of the day: delicious, delicious treats. This photo of a row of candied and chocolate covered apples was taken by uncorneredmarket among the myriad Christmas Markets in Germany, several of which I was supposed to make it to this year. We’ll see if I have the time.
There. Now don’t you feel better about the outcome of the election?
