Photo of the Day (4-02-08)

A spring flower and a tombstone–two images of life’s circle. The face of the soldier makes me wonder what he is thinking? I’m reminded of Inman, the Confederate soldier in the novel, Cold Mountain, whose Civil War experience was mostly spent finding his way back home. There are subtle aspects of this shot by mce323 that are quite lovely. Notice the soft moss on the ledge and the patina of the bronze. According to the tags, this fellow is at Cemetery of Père Lachaise in Paris.

Send your lovely shots our way at Gadling’s Flickr Photo Pool.

This photo was taken in Jaisalmer, India, by Flickr user arunchs. Although I’m not certain if the structures in the lake are ruins, I do get an Ozymandias feel from them, as though they’ve sunk over time.

And are the only primary colors in the photo from paddle boats?

The lines, shapes and layers of this shot remind me a bit of a tiny wooden train set my brother received once as a child. It came in a fine mesh gold bag that tied at the top. Along with the train came buildings and simple wooden trees with a shape similar to these. These trees, the real ones, are so perfect and sculpted-looking. There’s promise in the fields…a sense of waiting for the lushness that will set in once spring’s magic happens.

This shot of the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape by Luke Robinson was posted at Gadling’s Flickr photo pool. How is the beginning of spring looking where you are? We’d love to see your shots for a chance at Photo of the Day. Post them in our Gadling group.

There’s just something about a castle, you know? They can’t help but exude a sense of history and regal divinity. Or maybe that’s just because I live in a city that’s only been around for about 100 years, in a country where castles and cobblestones are few and far between. Maybe if I lived near Carcassonne, the castle depicted in this photo by Luke Robinson, I wouldn’t be so awestruck by every castle I see. Then again, maybe not — It looks pretty darn awesome from what I can see here.

I swear I have been there before, although I have never been at St. Maarten’s. You are trying to enjoy the beach and there is a giant plane landing right over your head. Kinda takes the romance out of it. Or, as the photographer, matt.hintsa, says: “Forget sharks, big waves, and rip currents. You might get hit by an A340!” That’s two in a row for Matt!

He captured the Air France Airbus A340-300 as it lines up with runway 09 at St. Maarten’s Princess Juliana International Airport on Friday, March 21st, 2008. The photo was taken from Maho Beach, located at the end of SXM’s runway 09.

Something tells me this photo won’t be one they’ll pick to advertise St. Maarten’s.
