Photo of the Day (9/1/07)

by Justin Glow on

This shot was uploaded to the Gadling Flickr pool by Luminous Lens over a year ago, but I stumbled across it randomly while browsing through the collection of impressive photos our readers have submitted over time. This one was taken in Berlin, Germany during the Brazil vs. Croatia 2006 World Cup game. Down 1-0 and only a minute left, the Croatian fans lit flares and stormed the field in protest.

Goat polo in Kyrgyzstan. Very cool!

This could have been the worst photograph in the world and it still would have made Photo of the Day because of its fascinating subject. But of course, it’s not. The outstanding work of photographer Anselmo Lastra really captures the spontaneity and joy of an ancient game played so rarely these days. I’m sad I missed the opportunity to watch it myself when visiting this beautiful country a handful of years ago, and I hope to have the chance once again before some major beer manufacturer sponsors it.

Wow, that’s a lot of shades of blue in this spectacular photograph of Canada’s Lake Louise by Gadling reader Davo77.

And then, of course, there’s the reflection. Wow, again!

This is one of those rare photographs that immediately stopped me in mid-scroll as I surfed through our Gadling Flickr Pool. If you have a shot that might do the same, please visit the site and upload it right away; you too might be selected as our Photographer of the Day.

Besides the fact that this shot is gorgeous, it caught my attention because it reminded me of Surf’s Up, the movie I saw this past Monday with a slew of kids and parents. (50 cents per ticket on Mondays at the cheap theater if you have at least three people. There were 14 of us in a mix of Japanese, Bolivian and American.)

This surf photo by localsurfer looks a lot more relaxing than our movie experience. (All kids were five and under. Four of us were adults.) There’s a certain stillness in this shot, as if the surfers are as content to take in their surroundings (Tanzania) as they are to hang ten. The way the guy on the right’s hands are folded, the surfboards’ stillness and the beams of light through the clouds capture something about the divine. Kind of like when I heard the kids’ laughter at our own surfing experience.

To share your own shots, add them to the Gadling Flickr Pool and one might be picked for Photo of the Day.

A shot dramatic enough to make even Dan Brown jealous! It convinced me that is possible not to get bored of seeing photos of the Louvre. Ain’t Paris grand?

Great job, G. Wells.
