Photo of the Day (12-12-07)

If you look into the blue ball, you’ll see buildings and people. According to the tags, this was shot was taken at the Marché aux Puces, a flea market in Paris, France. I can imagine Luke Robinson, who took the photo walking, along and noticing the reflection. “Look here.” Another thing that attracted me to this shot was the Blue Willow plate below the basket. My grandparents used plates with this design. I’ve loved this pattern since childhood, and if I were here, I’d ask the price.

If you have shots of images that have caught you eye, send them our way to catch ours at Gadling’s Flickr pool.

Photo of the Day (12-11-07)


My favourite time of the day, no matter where I am, is dusk — when the hurried craziness of the city is winding down into stillness and calm. This photo from Lady Expat illustrates this so well. She doesn’t specify where this is taken but from her other photos, I assume it’s Bali. But it’s one of those photos that could be from anywhere, you know?

Photo of the Day (12/10/07)

This almost looks like some sort of toy town. Town built by Lego! It kind of reminds me of a few Scandinavian towns (and that’s not just because Lego is from Denmark.)

I couldn’t be further from the real place, though. Tlkativ took this photo of the colorful buildings in Curacao in October of this year. I like it because it makes you realize how much of the Caribbean is in its details: canoe on a remote beach, kids playing in a muddy river, men sitting outside on a stoop smoking… If you do a panoramic shot of the buildings, it no longer has that classic, if not cliche, Caribbean feel.

Photo of the Day (12-9-07)


This cheerful and fun photo, titled “Full Moon Offerings” was captured by LadyExpat in Indonesia. I love the bright colors and the fact that I can’t identify a lot of the what these ladies are carrying. And don’t they sort invoke the spirit of Carmen Miranda?

Free trip to Mexico (all you’ve got to do is win a photo contest)

It’s time again to alert our fantastic Photo of the Day winners about another photography contest with big, fat prizes.

Condé Nast Traveler is once again running their Live the Cover contest in which readers are asked to submit their favorite photo that “captures a memorable travel moment” as well as a short paragraph “describing the moment and explaining what made it special.”

The grand prize for the best photograph is a four-night stay at the Palmilla Resort in Los Cabos, Mexico with airfare included. Not too bad!

You’ve got some competition, however, which can be scoped out here.

And, you’ve got to act quickly. The contest ends December 18. And sorry folks, but it’s only open to North American residents (click here for official rules).
