Photo of the Day (9/8/07)

Gadling reader and Flickr user Buck Forester snapped this shot of a white tiger diving underwater to retrieve a tasty piece of steak at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, CA. “There’s a twice-a-day feeding of the tigers in the water which you can view through a window,” Buck’s description goes. “The railing and legs you see in the image are reflections on the glass of the watching crowd, and the red thing is a suspended piece of meat that was just tossed and has the full attention of the hungry tiger.”

Makes me hungry.

This almost looks like some scene from a cool computer game in which players must battle dragons and avoid thugs pouring oil on their heads as they attempt to storm the castle.

But it’s not.

These sturdy walls actually surround Old Town in Warsaw, Poland. They aren’t original, however. Like so much of Warsaw, the original walls were destroyed in World War II. These finely reconstructed replicas stand as reminder of the past, a past nicely captured in a thrilling, doom-is-on-way, death-to-heathens dramatic shot by photographer Aawil.

Great job! Now hand me the boiling oil!

A few weeks ago we published a photo of Ronald McDonald in Bangkok assuming a traditional Thai pose. Not to be outdone, Colonel Sanders has donned a traditional Japanese kimono to appeal to finger lickin’ customers somewhere in Japan.

Ah yes, the chameleon-like abilities of fast food spokespersons continually amaze me.

Thanks go out to PixelSkew for capturing the colonel in this particular incarnation and sharing it with us.

What makes us drawn to images in artwork? Sometimes it’s what is going on in our own life. Sometimes it’s the composition–the placement of objects and the colors. Sometimes it’s the emotion the piece evokes. When I saw this photo “Parisian band playing on Pont St. Louis” by BrittElizabeth, a few things came to mind. First, I thought joy. The expression on the musician’s face looks as if there is no where he would rather be than on this bridge playing music over the Seine. The other thing I thought of was the funeral my 5 year-old son, his friends and I had for his hamster yesterday. One of his friends played a plastic horn similar to this one as part of the service. No one played an organ–that would have been excessive, but it was jazz of sorts.

The other thing this photo reminds me of is just how great it is to have access to a city in the summer. Look at what a glorious day this was. Can’t you just feel the sun warming your skin, the breeze on the bridge and the music putting a step into your gait?

Great photo of Athens, Greece by Jan Pulpan.

These are the happiest damn pig heads I have ever seen in my life. I am not sure if that makes eating them easier or harder. Not that anyone cares. I also find it interesting how much more “visible” men are than women in Greece. Men are the ones you can see hanging out in cafes as well as meat markets. And, of course, cafe-turned-meat markets.
