Photo of the Day (03.06.2008)


Looking at this photo by Corey Wood, don’t you feel like you’re on top of the world? Really, how can you not? The high peak looks like it’s above everything. It’s a very interesting shot, but a precarious one too, as if a few steps forward could plunge you thousands of feet into the deep, rugged terrain.

What peaks have you been atop lately? Share them with us in our Gadling Flickr Pool.

5 heads of 3 Euros. Life can hardly get better than that.

Bucket of lamb’s heads shot by Styggiti at the Athens Central Market, Greece. I would call it “Silence of the lambs, Part III.” They look just scary enough (especially the one in the bottom middle) that they could be used in the movie sequel, I think.

Local markets are an eternal source of curiosity for many travelers. Exotic smells, strange sounds and all sorts of unfamiliar produce make food markets around the world a must-see destination for the culinary-inclined. Markets are also great photo spots too, as Flickr user Theodore Scott illustrates in this shot from the Sacred Valley in Peru. The bright colors of the vegetables on the tarp along with the movement of the women as they hustle about certainly piqued my interest. Theodore, did you have a chance to try any of the tomatoes? I wonder if they were any good.

Taken any pictures of the market in Peru? Or maybe just at the farmer’s market in Pensacola? Upload it to the Gadling Pool on Flickr and we might just feature it as our Photo of the Day.

Door shots tend to be intriguing, and this one is thanks to Bernard-SD. There is something about photographing the entrance to someone’s personal space that can’t be seen. I immediately think of what’s going on behind the door — who lives there, what they are doing, etc. It’s hard to pull your eyes away from the bright color of this door in Hyderabad, India, but what I really like are the drawings on the doorstep. I wonder what they mean?

Do you have a great shot from your travels? Submit it to the Gadling flickr pool and we’ll consider it for Photo of the Day.

Update — Bernard-SD alerted me to an interesting explanation of the drawings that someone posted on his flickr page. Thanks!
