This photo from Kyrgyzstan really sums up the spirit of travelling for me — In the middle of nowhere, with no one around but an oblivious cow and so much world laid out in front of you. Thanks, Uncornered Market.

Since I’m here in Costa Rica this week, I couldn’t help but use it as a theme for the photo of the day.
Thanks to jahloveforbin for this shot, posted on flickr.
As a bona fide tree-hugger, I love the way the center tree seems to radiate with its own inner light. Misha Logvinov captured this photo in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California, and titled it “‘Controlled’ Burn in Big Basin State Park.” Indeed the bright leaves at the top left of the middle tree seem as if they are ablaze.

Rugged mountains, an unpaved road, a strange make of automobile. Nothing smells of adventure more than the three elements mentioned above and captured so perfectly in this photo by Uncorneredmarket.
What does the road ahead hold for these passengers and what grand times have already been left in their dust? I wish I knew, and I wish I were there.
This particular slice of the adventurous life was captured en route to Murghab, along the Pamir Mountains in Tajikistan. If you’d like your similarly brilliant photos considered for Photo of the Day, visit our Gadling Flickr Pool and upload away.
You know you’re a long, long way from home when you come across a yurt (unless, of course, you’ve happened upon some local hippie commune).
If there was a teepee, tent, cabin or any other type of domicile in this shot, it simply wouldn’t be as rugged and exotic. A yurt, however, has a way of changing the landscape the moment your eyes rest upon its pleasant around shape. And, of course, time stands still. This shot could have been taken hundreds of years ago. Or yesterday. Except there is some type of strange blue box in the background. An outhouse, perhaps?
Anyway, this particular shot by Uncorneredmarket was actually a bit nostalgic for me because the first yurt I ever came across was located in the same country as this photo was taken: Kyrgyzstan.
