Photo of the Day (9/11/08)

It’s been a rough September so far, with Hurricanes Hanna and Ike dropping by for an uninvited visit to the Caribbean and the U.S. This shot by Rubys Host captures a scene in Brooklyn when Hanna passed overhead.

I got home yesterday after six days of avoiding these storms, taking off from Philadelphia on the day this picture was taken in New York. We also flew to Port-au-Prince Haiti, Miami, San Juan and Caracas, Venezuela. Each leg of the trip had issues relating to either Hanna or Ike.

So I thought this picture was an appropriate Photo of the Day. Here’s hoping Ike will lose some steam by the time it reaches Texas.

Nice job, Rubys Host!

As I was searching out shots of Denmark in the Gadling Flickr photo pool (they’re not many), I came across this one. Kronborg Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site is in

I’ve been tossing around the idea of a trip to New Zealand for roughly twenty years now, but recently the urge has gotten much stronger. Perhaps it’s because I’m now living with a couple of Kiwi semi-professional rugby players, or maybe it’s because I’ve never met an unfriendly person from New Zealand — whatever it is, I’m going to have to start putting a trip together. And with images like this around the country, how could you resist?

Flickr user Jitsu shot this photo on the South Island of NZ between Te Anau and Milford Sound, right behind some ten zillion sheep.

I’m not a fan of pictures of monuments, but this one of the Big Ben is just awesome. Because of how user nabil.s managed to capture the clouds and the sharpness of the clock, this photo, although in effect very simply, grabbed and kept my attention for a while.

Between the satellite dishes and the barren, otherworldly landscape in this photo, you could be forgiven for thinking it had been taken on the moon. It’s all the more amusing therefore, to find out that Flickr user konakoka, got this spacey shot on top of Mauna Kea, the dormant volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.

The lack of light pollution and the high altitude make Mauna Kea a top spot for astronomy. The summit is littered with all manner of observatories and satellite dishes, as we see here in this photo. I like the way the focus of the image has been pushed to the very bottom, leaving an almost limitless blue sky to dominate.
