Photo of the Day (06.07.08)

Taken on Temple St. in Hong Kong, lecercle‘s photo of a man apparently doing some evening laundry captures some amazing colors as well as a simple, everyday moment. Traveling in SE Asia in the fall I found that many times people’s personal space — laundry, kitchens, etc. — are often right on the street and this photo shows just that.

Admittedly, this shot from Moody75 is rather unremarkable until one learns the story behind it. The warning to “Park your car facing exit” is not merely a tedious instruction but a useful warning. At the Masaya Volcano in Nicaragua, car owners are advised to park so they can make a quick getaway– if the volcano erupts.

Photo of the Day (06/02/08)

Today’s Photo of the Day comes from Flickr user tysonwilliams.com. He calls it: “Chimneys, Casa Milà, Barcelona, Spain” and after researching a bit, I discovered that it’s a Gaudi designed building that is now a World Heritage site and it’s obviously most famous for the quite spectacular roof and chimneys.

I’m not sure if he used a filter, or if he warmed it up digitally, but either way, it’s amazing. Oh, and just in case someone suspects I’m losing interest in aviation themed pictures for the Photo of the Day, note the tiny contrail of a jet in the middle of the picture.

Nicely done, Tyson!

There are some items you can look at and pinpoint exactly where the picture was taken. JasonBechtel snapped this in Sante Fe, New Mexico, capturing one item for sale in the Southwest that gives a nod to the desert/ranch scene and a little Georgia O’Keefe. I found a cow skull once when I was hiking in New Mexico and thought my brother might like it. Since there was still some grizzle on it, (it wasn’t as gross at it sounds,) I soaked it in bleach for a mighty, mighty, mighty long time.

If you click here, you’ll see another one of Jason’s shots that captures another aspect of New Mexico. Oh, how I miss those sunsets.

If you have a photo that captures somewhere you’ve been, add it to the Gadling Flickr photo pool.
