Vietnamese beaches, while not known as the best in the world, are still top notch. In the little time that I spent in South Vietnam, a small portion was on a beach in Mui Ne, just east of Saigon and home to a resident population of windsurfers. To me, the soft white sand, pleasant staff and uncrowded beaches make it preferrable to Cancun any day. Flickr user ourmanwhere shot it on the beach of Phu Quoc.

These smiles put the biggest smile on my face, I love happy children photos! They are native children of the Malaysian Mabul Islands, who look like they are loving being photographed by a stranger. Taken by Flickr user LadyExpat, their expression captures purity, innocence, and simple delight. I just want to jump into the photo and give them a big hug!

A mailbox is not exactly the most fascinating subject for a photo. But somehow, I can’t take my eyes off of this particular mailbox, captured by Flickr user arex while in Taiwan China. There’s a number of things that caught my eye. It’s a flat photo but yet it manages to give an impression of pattern and texture – the yellow mail slot, the peeling paint of the walls, and the bright blue signage combine to make the image jump out at you. Add in the ghostly black edges around the frame and the result is something that seems almost cinematic. Nice work.
Have you taken any photos of mailboxes in Beijing? Or perhaps just the post office in Boston? Why not add them to the Gadling pool on Flickr? We might just pick it for our Photo of the Day.

This is a great action shot taken by AlphaTangoBravo in Bordeaux, France. You wouldn’t normally associate olleys with historical monuments, but with the impressive cathedral in the background and the skater in the foreground, the picture manages to capture both the essence of old and new.

This amazing shot of Mount Robson in British Columbia, Canada, was taken by MarkHout. For a detailed explanation of how this photo was made, go here and read the photographer’s explanation. I confess to not exactly knowing what HDR photography or grad filters are, but I’m satisfied just to sit back in ignorant wonder.
