I would call this photo Light at the end of the tunnel. The tall, thin silhouette symbolizes our times almost too well: Black and white, always rushing somewhere “better.” If only he knew what the man at the end of the tunnel probably already knows and what we’ll never know.

Bernard-SD took this awesome photo in Hyderabad, India in March 2008.

These two look like they’re having a real heart to heart. I wonder who gets to ride in that bright and comfy-looking saddle — when I took a camel safari in India, my ride was not so plush and I certainly felt it after three days. Flickr user arunchs captured this scene in Rajasthan, India, where I also took my three-day camel ride.

Have any photos of plush rides from your travels? Upload them to Gadling’s Flickr pool and we’ll consider them for our Photo of the Day feature.

Although Andrew Zimmern didn’t eat any deer antlers on the broadcast version of Bizarre Foods when he went to Guangzhou, China, he mentions dried deer tail as a cure for back ailments in his blog. Willy Volk, who snapped this shot in Chinatown in San Francisco, says that antlers are viewed as an aphrodisiac.

I like that there’s nothing about this shot that places this display in the United States– except, possibly, the price on the sign. This is a reminder that sometimes you can wander into the unusual without traveling too far from home. What interesting images have you come across in your travels? Send them our way at Gadling’s Flickr photo pool.

I picked this photo by Kouiskas as the photo of the day because it looks almost too good be real, you know? Everything is perfect, from the colours of the earth to the fluffiness of the clouds. Postcard-perfect photos are usually fairly elusive, down to nothing more than the stroke of luck that you happened to visit a site on the ideal day. And it’s why we bring our cameras everywhere — we’re afraid of missing that perfect photo opportunity.

Here it is in all its bare, cold and smoking beauty. A volcanic version of Marlene Dietrich, taylor-made for black and white imagery: Mount Bromo in Java, Indonesia.

This stunning photo was shot by everything-everywhere a little after sunrise, while it was “very overcast and the clouds were very low in the caldera.”

A little after sunrise? Is that the trick to good pictures? Does one have to get up early to become a good photographer? What a downer.
