Since I am in Panama now, here is a picture I took a few days ago in cloudy Panama City (it’s the end of the rainy season). This is my first time in Panama and I am blown away by the amount of construction going on in this city. The obsession with highrises reminds me of Shanghai; so do the slums with the view of the “good life.”

I was drawn to this photo because of its dense gray color and the slice of light through the middle. And don’t the clouds look so heavy they could be full of lead? I love skies like this one.
As I searched around annette_likes_rain’s photo page, I realized that this shot was taken somewhere in or around Homer, Alaska, which is where my husband grew up and is also one of the only other towns down here on the Kenai Peninsula. It’s pretty cool to find a little piece of home in Gadling’s Flickr photo pool.

Today’s Photo of the Day was selfishly plucked from my own camera during a recent trip to China.
After a full day of wandering around Shenyang and not really finding too much to see or do, I happened upon an outdoor market that stretched for many blocks just off one of the main boulevards.
Locals always stare at me strangely when I take photos of their produce and goods but I always find it so fascinating I can’t resist. Case in point, I’m not exactly sure what the sacks in the above photo might be, perhaps some spices, but I do know that I never would see such a sight in my local grocery store at home. And so I pulled out the camera and clicked.
Sure, the colors are quite outstanding in this photograph. And, it certainly captures a very far off place of which we know nothing about. But what really makes this photo exceptional in my opinion, are the expressions on the three faces of the Goroka dancers in Papua New Guinea. The one on the right looks pissed off, the guy in the middle has a hilarious, aloof look on his face, and the guy on the left is as stoic as can be. Man! I know who I’m inviting to a party if I could only invite one of these guys.
Congrats to Gadling reader Anselmo Lastra for sharing with us the Three Stooges of Papua New Guinea. If you’d like your masterpiece considered for a similar honor, please visit out Gadling Flickr Pool and upload away.
The saffron colored flowers are absolutely gorgeous. Notice the Buddha head statue in the background? There is a tree growing around it. According to StrudelMonkey who snapped this shot at Ayutthaya, Thailand, the only reason the statue is still in existence is because of that tree. Ayutthaya was once the capital of Siam from 1350 to 1767.
