Three dudes, waiting for the subway. I love the colors in this shot by PDPhotography; the silver with the toothpaste green, the drab floor, all constrasting with the sharp black figures and the bright yellow line. Notice how the train seems to blend into the wall on the left side of the photo. The photo might not inspire me to travel to St. George, Toronto, where it was snapped, but it certainly invokes some emotion in me. What that emotion is, I can’t really say.

Have you got some travel photos you think will invoke unspecified emotions, or inspire people to travel? Upload them on Gadling’s Flickr pool and we’ll consider them for our Photo of the Day feature.

Wow, you can really feel the sense of cold in this photograph taken in Tynemouth, England by OurManWhere. I’m not sure how he coaxed his lady friend into standing right next to the crashing surf, but sometimes art is painful; her resulting bout of pneumonia was certainly worth the shot.

I also love the mottled texture of the pier itself as the elements slowly eat away at it, even as the subject of the photo stares pensively out across the water. Very cool!

If you’d like one of your shots considered for Photo of the Day, jump on over to our Gadling Flickr Pool and upload away.

We’ve all seen so many countless photos of the Great Wall that it really doesn’t seem all that great any more.

There’s something about this shot, however, that really injects that magic back into this ancient Chinese icon. Perhaps it’s the light dusting of snow, or the snake like curves at the front of the photograph. I don’t know. But what I do know, is that this is perhaps the finest photograph I’ve seen of the Great Wall.

Congrats go out to petetamproductions for reinvigorating this ancient landmark and giving it back the mystery and allure which has been so sorely missing for many years now.

My first major trip on my own was when I was in the 12th grade. I had a summer job in Maine working at a kid’s camp. Great way to learn how to water ski. My mode of transportation was a bus from New Paltz, New York to Augusta, Maine. Oh, the glory of the whoosh of the door before the bus pulled away from the bay. Freedom.

Our very own Martha’s shot of someone boarding a bus in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Puerto capture’s the essence of a grand bus adventure. Besides that, I love the mix of color and black and white.

Add your own adventure inspired photo to our Gadling Flickr Pool. (or make it just a really, really, really, great shot.)
