Photo of the Day (8-27-08)

There is no telling when a photo will show up as a Photo of the Day. Ultraclay! posted this one December 1, 2006. Why now? Why today? These tango dancers, one a blur, but for the clasp of a hand, evokes a romantic dream–the type of shot that can only be captured at the right instant.

Great!

Send your captured moments our way at Gadling’s Flickr Photo Pool. Who knows? Next week –, tomorrow, or two years from now, it could show up as a Photo of the Day.

Mallorca. This island situated some 250km of the southern coast of Spain is the largest of the Balearic Islands and home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. You may have heard of the Mediterranean party capital Ibiza? This is right next door.

I’ve been tossing around the idea of crashing in Palma, the capital of the Mallorca (and of the entire archipelago)
for Thanksgiving this year and believe that this photo taken by jonrawlinson may have finally helped me commit. Now, if only I could find good plane tickets.

I’m a total sucker for street performances, especially when I travel, and especially if it’s something cultural – I always stop and watch! This shot has been taken by user jonjanegoin on Nanjing Road in Shanghai, China. Its simplicity makes it so real — and he’s managed to capture a moment with as much precision as possible.

How often has this ever happened to you? You head down to the beach and there’s nobody there. It’s certainly not a pleasure I get to have very often – and definitely not during this time of year. Perhaps once Labor Day passes us by. In any case, hats off to Flickr user t3mujin, who captured his very own empty beach in Praia da Adraga, on the northern coast of Portugal.

Have any great photos from a deserted beach? Why not share them with us by adding them to the Gadling pool on Flickr? We just might choose your shot as our Photo of the Day.

If this photo doesn’t scream summer, I don’t know what does. The candy-colored shot was taken by PDPhotography at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto, Canada. A great snapshot of the season!
