This shot taken by Roberta Attalla at Wilson Hill in Pennsylvania captures the essence of what can make the outdoors perfect for a bit of solitude and peace. Here’s to having a restful Wednesday. Even if you are indoors.
Send us your shot of your own bit of peace (or whatever) at Gadling’s Flickr photo pool and we might pick it as a Photo of the Day.
Ah, the metro, where I’ve spent countless of my weekend hours toiling away underground, staring off into space, sitting on wooden benches and people watching.
This photo, taken by Luke Robinson, was shot outside of the Parisian underground, where I have spent many hours commuting between my sister’s apartment in the 17th and downtown Paris. If only all subway systems were as sprawling, clean and inexpensive as the French metro.

I know what you are thinking. It’s not a very summery photo I picked. that’s exactly why. As I’m sitting here, sweating my butt off, this photo actually looks blissful.
Ultraclay! took this picture on Champs-Elysees in Paris, presumably in the winter. I love that the statue looks like it could be a real person, walking against the wind and snow. You could almost picture the Battle of Stalingrad this way.

Full disclosure: I know Flickr user sgoralnick, who uploaded this sweet composite image of the Pulaski Drawbridge in between Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But you know what? Her novel creation method for this shot deserves some recognition. This photo uses a technique called panography, basically a Photoshop trick that stitches together many different shots of a single image into one giant whole.
It’s a novel way to think of taking a photo, isn’t it? But that aside, I also think it ends up looking wicked cool. And sometimes, that’s all that matters.
Have any panography shots you want to share with our Gadling readers? Or even a simple panorama? Add it to the Gadling photo pool on Flickr and it just might get chosen as our Photo of the Day.
I love maps and this photo of Paris taken by ultraclay! looks exactly like one. The angles and lines in this shot are well thought out and make for an excellent composition. Plus it’s rare that we see Paris this way; it’s nice to have a different view of the city than the Eiffel Tower or glass pyramid at the Louvre.
Do you have a stunning shot from your travels? Submit it to Gadling’s flickr pool and it just might get selected for Photo of the Day.
