Photo of the Day (06/19/08)

St. Maarten is the greatest location in the world for aviation spotters, and we’ve featured a number of those pictures here. But this one from matt.hintsa stands out for me because of the timing of the crashing waves.

I’m dying to bring my camera to that beach someday. While I’ve been there a number of times, I’ve never left the airport, so my pictures were only from this perspective.

Well done, Matt!

This is an ad campaign that certainly gets ones attention! Particularly, the guy who is riveted. What a juxtaposition of images. Pirano was at the right place at the right time with the right angle in Vienna, Austria.

If you have a shot where you were at the right place at the right angle, send it to us at Gadling’s Flickr photo pool. It might be chosen as a Photo of the Day.

When summertime rolls around I always get a hankering to go sailing again and borderfilm‘s Climb photo takes me straight back to my days tooling around Strawberry Lake in college. This shot, taken on the English Bay in Vancouver, perfectly lines up the trailing edge of the sail with the edge of the photo creating a false border, as the lines from the sand and skyline head towards each other in a slanted distance. A great shot.

What a great shot of San Francisco! The colors!

Except, of course, that it is Lisbon, Portugal, as shot by t3mujin. Seriously though, tell me this doesn’t look like San Francisco when you first glance at it? It is amazing how many similarities there are between Portugal and California…the weather, the coastline, the lifestyle, the bridge. If Portugal had Hollywood and Chinatown, it would practically be the same place. Just kidding.

It’s been said that some of the best images can tell you a story without words. I think that’s what caught my eye in this photo from localsurfer. Apparently he was in Normandy when the driver of this bus got it stuck in a tight corner. Some quick-thinking French locals are trying to help eliminate this pesky traffic pole by lopping it off with a sledgehammer.

I love the sense of movement between the man swinging the hammer and the gentleman in the red shirt who’s holding the top of the pole. Even more amusing are the concerned stares coming from the passengers in the bus window behind them. It almost looks like they’ve invented some strange new sport.
