The precision of school kids in China and Taiwan is phenomenal. Yes, the lines are that straight. I wouldn’t say all the time, but I would almost bet on it. If you ever come across a group of school kids during an assembly stop and watch awhile. What a wonderful composition of patterns and symmetry. This particular shot was taken at a school in Shanghai by gorwell48.

Wow, this looks so very inviting. Don’t you just want to wade in and take a nice, warm bath?
Well, it’s probably not a good idea unless, of course, you’re a lobster wanting to commit suicide. Otherwise, you should really keep your distance from this boiling pit of death that Mother Nature, for what ever reason, has made very attractive and alluring. Just check out those colors!
Congrats go out to Fiznatty for sneaking a shot of Morning Glory in Yellowstone during one of its more calm moments. I hope she got out of the way before it blew.

Because I am in Athens this week, looking at the Acropolis from my hotel, I figured I would use a local picture.
Noamgalai took this great reflection shot in May. The Acropolis is another one of those world sites photographed millions of times, yet this is a new, creative way of seeing it.

I love this photo for the way that it reveals a destination where a single glance at the colorful pixels means adding this locale to your “places to visit” list. Dammit! I have enough things on that list already!
We can thank Shadixpn for capturing such travel inspiration at Plitvicka Jezera National Park, in Croatia. While so much of the tourist focus is on Croatia’s scenic coastline, Shadixpn reminds us that this quaint country offers equally attractive treasures further inland.

Contrast. It’s what makes Gadling’s Photo-of-the-Day judges all hot and bothered and generally just excited to be alive. Sure, it’s the most overused descriptor in the history of photography, but it still gives us a kick in the pants.
Take this shot, for example. If that Chinese fisherman was wearing a beige shirt and some khaki Banana Republic pants, this would just be another ho-hum photograph. But instead, the contrast of the bright blues captured the eye of Gorwell48 who did a fine job of capturing this image on the banks of the Yangtze. And that, folks, is why Gorwell48 has landed a spot in today’s Photo of the Day.
