Photo of the Day (5-9-08)

Gadling fave ladyexpat does it again with this wonderfully psychedelic shot of the Jogyesa Temple in Seoul, South Korea. The colorful lanterns are hanging in honor of the Buddha, whose birthday is celebrated on March 12 this year.

Photo of the Day (5/8/08)

Our photo of the day today comes from damiel who took this picture from the passenger seat of a Sterling Boeing 737 equipped with colorful winglets. With the outside air probably hovering around -50 degrees F what little moisture in the air during the climb out promptly froze.

By focusing on the ice crystals, he captured another beautiful part of flying. The crystals almost look like little organisms splitting off and growing. For a little color, it’s great that the winglets were painted almost perfectly to go with the deep blue in the sky.

Way to go, damiel!

Photo of the Day (5/07/08)

Last night one of my Moroccan students gave me a long-standing invitation to visit there. “Sure,” I said. “I’d love to.” In the meantime, there are the lovely shots in Gadling’s Flickr photo pool. This one by jonrawlinson is one of those perfect moments where the subject’s head is tilted just right, the lighting creates the right amount of shadow to be interesting and the texture of the background, in this case, the building, looks as if one can touch it.

I wonder what the little girl is making? Each rock was placed carefully in the shape in front of her. Her hand is ready to adjust one more before reaching for another.

If you have captured a moment of a person doing something interesting, send it our way at our Flicker pool.

Photo of the Day (06.05.2008)


I love a good night photo, and this one by Trent Strohm (aka Strudel Monkey) fits the bill. It’s colourful, it’s clear, it’s well-composed, and most importantly, it fills me with the insatiable urge to go to China right-freaking-now. Taken recently, the photo is of the Huilan Pavilion in Qingdao, China. It was built in 1891 and might look oddly familiar for a very good reason: It’s on the label of all Tsingtao beer bottles.

Meet me at the corner of Spiritualist and Mediumship. This address pretty much describes the state of mind of everyone I know.

I’d love to meet the person, who makes up the street names in Cassadaga, Florida. He/she really seems to take the job to the next level. How is the real estate market down there? What about the house on Mothership St and Atheist way?

Great find by Willy Volk.
