Photo of the Day (3/12/08)

I must be in a message kind of mood. Three weeks ago, I picked a photo with a message on the side of a building. This message snapped by Willy Volk also caught my attention. This is a view of the Golden Gate Bridge that I haven’t seen before. I walked across the Golden Gate years ago, but don’t recall the signs. The one thing that would be a handy thing to have included on this sign is a phone number.

The perspective here is interesting as the bridge does beckon one across to the other side. As Willy titled this, “There is hope.”

If you have any words of wisdom shots, send our way. Frankly, any interesting photo about anything might capture our attention. We like all sorts of subjects. Post on Gadling’s Flickr photo pool.

Aside from a 2-week bout of the nastiest weather imaginable, winter in my cold little nook of the world has been pretty mild. In fact, the temperature today was in the mid-60s, while our neighbors to the east are experiencing severe winter weather warnings.

So it’s in honour of them that I choose to feature this photo of Toronto by PDPhotography today. I love the framing, I love the bleakness of the image, and most of all, I love that I’m not there.

I know nothing about tribal cultures, but based on this photo, I would guess this man is a one of those wise, respected tribesmen. His face says it all.

Fiznatty, who took this photo in 2007 in Tanzania, says: “The Hadzabe tribe, made up of several wandering families such as the one we visited, is nomadic. They are hunters who follow their food, and have been living in the region for over 10,000 years. They supposedly shun Western society and “modern” ways. On this day, we got to join them on a morning hunt.”

Great photo!

This scene seems like it’s out of “Requiem for a Dream” — maybe ferris wheels just always have that sort of desolate and spooky feel. The photographer, Weegolo, notes that the photo (of the Singapore Flyer, hardly a ferris wheel, I know) wasn’t taken in black and white; “it was just a very gray day,” a detail that adds to the lonely vibe of the picture.

Do you have any travel photos that perfectly capture a gray day? Upload them to Gadling’s Flickr pool, where they’ll be considered for our Photo of the Day feature.

There’s beauty in things that change over time. This bridge that is no longer in use reminds me of old lace. Although the era has passed for this bridge, it remains as evidence of people and goods passing through. Where did they go? Who once stood by this track, looking up, watching the trains go by? Are there any coins flattened on the rail in a child’s experiment? expixero who posted this shot said this was taken by the Old Port in Montreal.
