Photo of The Day (08/13/07)

A house in Kandavan, Iran.

Fascinating living arrangements, as captured by Daniel Michalek during his 2004 trip to Iran. I must say that Iran is one country I would love to visit. Hopefully, I will manage to do that before their President wipes it off the planet.

Photo of the Day (8/12/2007)

I have to admit that my first reaction to this shot by Gadling Flickr contributor sarah.and.michael, was “someone got a new macro lens!”. As an amateur, very infrequently professional photographer myself, I immediately wanted to go to Ebay and buy myself a new macro lens. Alas, at $400 a pop, though, I think I’ll still hold back. And so, in the meantime, I have to content myself with lovely photos like this one, that shows a couple of flower stems in front of the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.

I really enjoy this shot of Port de Pêcheurs in Biarritz, France because it’s hard to tell if it was taken in the 1890s, or today. According to Flickr, user orangeduck shot (or maybe just uploaded) the photo on May 20, 2007.

Biarritz is located on the coast of Bay of Biscay in southern France, just a few kilometers from the Spanish border. The town is well known for its surfing, oddly enough, and people travel from all over the world to ride the very waves you see crashing into the shore in the photo above. Thanks for the good shot, orangeduck!

Photo of the Day (8/10/07)

Man, do they love their scooters in Asia!

This photo of a traffic jam in Saigon is a typical scene repeated hundreds of times in cities across Asia. Can you imagine what it would be like if all of these commuters had cars instead? Hell!

Thanks go out to Dave for capturing this slice of live in Vietnam. If you would like to be considered for our Photo of the Day honors, jump on over to our Gadling Flickr Pool and upload away!

Photo of the Day (8/9/07)

My friend Dave just returned from his second time ever traveling abroad. As you can tell by the above photo, his second time out of the United States wasn’t an easy trip to Mexico or Paris. No, Dave decided to be adventurous and pay a visit to Vietnam. And this photograph is proof.

Although it may seem cliché, the telltale Vietnamese straw hat pictured above is still worn quite regularly in Vietnam. Dave nicely caught this one in action while touring the muddy waters of the Mekong Delta. This, folks, is quintessential Vietnam.
