Photo of the Day (10.28.08)

by Grant Martin on

Usually I pick a Photo of the Day that’s somehow reflects on my current situation or feeling as I shop around for photos. But sifting through some of the pictures during my weekly duties last week, I stumbled across the picture of a mosuqe taken by flickr user flicts in Istanbul.

I’m a sucker for mosque and cathedral photos, probably because I’m always in awe of the architecture and silence in the structures, and this photo was no exception. Great shot, flicts.

Flickr user t3mujin has done a phenomenal job capturing this wave splash fiercely against a rock. This is the sort of picture we have all seen when by the sea, but almost impossible to catch properly on camera. This one is so clear and well caught, it almost looks photoshoped or painted over.

It’s a shame that there is no other information about the photo. From the tags, it looks like it could have been taken in Portugal or in Iceland. Anyway, it’s a great shot difficult to get right, so well done t3mujin!

Photo of the Day (10.26.08)

Imagine drawing back the shutters in the morning and gazing out onto the rooftops of a picturesque medieval village like this one. Flickr user arex was fortunate enough to have just such a chance, taking this photo in the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Germany. I particularly like the perspective – the A-frame rooftoop in the foreground offers some interesting architectural detail while also adding a little color from the flower box. Farther in the background is an eye-catching cluster of rooftop peaks and valleys, culminating in the spires of a cathedral off in the distance. Pretty neat.

Have you taken any photos of rooftop vistas in quaint Bavarian villages? Or maybe a cityscape in Birmingham, Alabama? Add them to our Gadling pool on Flickr. We might just pick it as our Photo of the Day.

The first thing that struck me with this photo was the similar color of the bicycle and upstairs window; I always love small things like that when I am traveling. Secondly, the photo is strikingly simple, which is probably why arex rightfully titled it “The Simple Life”. This photo is one of many taken in Germany on arex’s photostream on Flickr, which you should definitely check out as well!

Photo of the Day (10.24.08)

This shot, from flickr user StrudelMonkey, was taken in Beijing’s Jingshan Park. Whenever I see rays of sunshine peeking through trees or clouds– in photos or in real life– it reminds me of those grade-school pictures I used to draw, with a big bright sun giving off rays of yellow light. Perhaps I was a better artist than I thought.
