Photo of the Day (07.05.08)

by Anna Brones on

I wanted to pick a great 4th of July shot to feature today, but then came across this amazing composition by pirano. Taken in Milano Centrale station, this photo manages to capture the hurried rush of two people running to catch their trains. But at the same time, being taken in black and white, the photo miraculously makes the central station seem very calm and organized. Definitely a shot worthy of framing and hanging on the wall to remind you of great travel moments.

Have a great shot you want featured? Submit it to the Gadling flickr pool to be considered for Photo of the Day.

Flickr contributor Sgorainick submitted this photo for Gadling’s photo of the day. “Volcanos in the Mist” was taken in Indonesia. You can still see some of the sulfur belching from Mount Bromo in the distance. I’m sure it didn’t smell good, but who wouldn’t put up with a little sulfur smell to get a shot like this?

Way to go Sgorainick!

What a New York City shot! At first, I thought, where is this place? And then, “Aha!”

Taken from a distance by Damon Green, this view of people waiting by a train track is an every day New York experience that is often lost in the busy shuffle of life there.

It’s great to have time to see how these three men are sitting on this bench waiting. This reminds me a bit of the Edward Hopper painting “Nighthawks.” It’s the voyeuristic quality perhaps.

The lines and color tones of this shot are also exquisite. Well, done.

If you have shots that capture an experience where you are, please send our way at Gadling photo pool. It may be picked as Photo of the Day.

Today’s photo of the day is dedicated to my friend Jarod, who I was supposed to visit in Shanghai this weekend. Unfortunately, I got tied up in a junket for work, so now Jarod has no drinking buddy for his first few weeks in China.

Submitter Willy Volk (why does that name sound familiar?) took this shot of stones engraved with the symbols for Destiny, Peace, Faith and Accomplishment in San Francisco’s Chinatown. I wish Jarod all of the above in the real Shanghai.

Are you a Flickr user who’d like to share a travel related picture or two for our consideration? Submit it to Gadling’s Flickr group right now! We just might use it for our Photo of the Day!

Beautifully cropped! A shot of a hot air balloon in Istanbul by smallscreen. This is what they call big sky in Turkey, I guess.

I realize I am a little late with this Photo of the day, but it’s still June 30 here on the West Coast.
