Photo of the Day (9/29/07)

One day my dog will ask me, “Daddy, where did I come from?” And I would be forced to reply, “Son, you were purchased out of a bag from a man wearing stone-washed jeans on the side of the road. I pulled over to pay a toll in Mexico, and there you were.”

Gadling reader Sir Isaac Lime snapped this shot outside Puebla, Mexico. I wonder if he took one home?

This, folks, is why they call it the Golden State.

This fantastic shot “somewhere in the valley between Petaluma and Bodega Bay, California,” was nicely captured by Gadling reader StormyGirl. I can just imagine her sitting on the hillside with her boyfriend, wine and cheese at hand, enjoying this fine view. Mother Nature sure tipped her hand on this one!

This is one photo that really speaks for itself. I mean, what can I really say? It’s clear, beautiful, nicely balanced. Shhhh! This is just one of those perfect moments where the sports announcer knows to shut up and let the visual speak for itself. So, I’m shutting up.

I will however, give a nod to BonnieBrowne for capturing such perfection.

The cadence of life in China, Taiwan and Singapore in the mornings is something I miss. I have no idea if this shot by Rob Webster in our Gadling photo pool was taken in Beijing at the Temple of Heaven in the morning, but from the warmth of the light, I assume so. The parks are where you find people, often older people, doing Tai chi and ballroom dancing (complete with music) . There is such joy and relaxation when the sun first comes up that it is hard to imagine one would ever have a bad day if start your mornings off with a stroll.

I’d love to see what the kite at the end of the string looked like. By the size of the spool, I bet it’s huge. Check out Rob’s other shots of China. They’re wonderful. If you’d like your photos to be considered for a Photo of the Day, post them at Gadling’s Photo Pool on Flickr.

Photo of the Day (09/24/07)

I took this photo last week in Bohdalov, Czech Republic about 150km southeast of Prague. It was a glorious fall morning with fog rolling over the lakes. Clearly, it was not as much about my photography skills as it was about mother nature making a statement but still, I was pretty proud of this photo.
