Photo of the Day (7/17/08)

Today’s photo of the day comes from Emerald2810, a new contributor to the Gadling Flickr Pool. The picture is called “Downtown Daisies!”

He lives in Ireland and captured this with a Canon G9 camera. I’m so impressed with the angle he chose that I’m about to run out and take a few shots of some flowers right now!

Way to go, Edmond!

I’m a fan of funky, distinctive signs. Since I’m in Montana at the moment–and Montana is a land of meat and funky signs, this sign caught my attention.

Ultraclay! snapped this photo in Nashville,Tennessee, however. The hint of of Nashville behind the sign evokes the sense that this is a street for meandering and strolling. Any place that has period lamp posts shows some initiative. Jack’s Bar-B-Que won 3 Gold Medals at the 2008 BBQ Expo.

Today’s photo comes from Buck Forester, who has an astonishing number of beautiful photos in our online Flickr pool.

In continuing my theme of Photos of the Day, I’m picking photos that accurately portray how I feel at the time of writing. Today, that’s tired.

Buck’s photo brings me back to my days in my small two man tent in Montana, and Idaho, traveling across the North and camping all of the way. His long exposure reflects one of the best things about camping: looking up at the stars in the middle of the night and really connecting with nature. I miss being out in the back country, alone in the woods.

I am in Guatemala today and this picture reminds me of how women carry fruit on their heads up here. (I tried it and it is not easy.)

Granted, none of the arrangements here were quite so fancy.

Danner00 took this picture in Bali. The women look so graceful, dressed in the same color scheme as the fruit.

Doesn’t this look blissful? Flickr user Bernard-SD took this shot at Yosemite National Park. Summer is one of the best but also the most crowded times at our country’s national parks, so it’s refreshing to see a great nature shot with nary a human to clutter the view.

Bernard’s photo is great not only for the scenery but also because it’s nicely framed. I like how the lone hiking path cuts across the foreground, winding off into unknown. The tree on the right is also a nice counterpoint to the gorgeous waterfall on the upper left. Just imagine yourself hiking down this peaceful path, the vista of the park’s mountains looming in the distance.
