Photo of the Day (08/11/08)

The reflection in the water is simply stunning. At first glance, it has a Taj Mahal feel about it.

It is in Barcelona though. Tysonwilliams.com is the photographer and Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya is the subject.

I think I almost like it better in its original black and white version. It is less dramatic, but looks more authentic. What do you think?

Photo of the Day (08.10.08)

Here’s a destination you don’t see too often. Flickr user Phojo11 captured this cool wall of Alice in Wonderland graffiti while traveling through Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina. It’s heartening to see that tourism is returning to this formerly war-torn region, and also heartening to see that artistic output is thriving again as well.

I especially like the bright colors. The blue wall here almost seems ready to fade into the sky above if it wasn’t for those few green trees poking over the top. Not to mention that fearsome-looking Cheshire Cat right in the middle of the image.

Have you taken any street art photos during your travels? Or perhaps just a beautiful cityscape? Add it to Gadling’s photo pool on Flickr, and it just might end up as our Photo of the Day.

Much like Aaron, I too have Olympic fever; in fact I spent over 4 and a half hours in front of the television last night watching the whole opening ceremony. With so much of the ceremony focusing on the religious and philosophical traditions of China, I thought that this picture taken by bellumdeos at the Dongyue Taoist Temple in Beijing was fitting.

I’ll admit it: I’ve got Olympic fever. So, apparently, do these kids. How could we not feature a photo from China today?

This shot from Marni Rachel was taken in Beijing. The boy, with his combination of a “Sports” shirt, a Chinese flag, and the “Victory” sign, appears confident that the Chinese will dominate this Olympics. Or maybe I”m reading too much into it.
