Photo of the Day (8/2/07)

by Neil Woodburn on

There is something about the hairstyles of this couple that really caught my eye in a way that your typical silhouette shot rarely does and I guessed almost immediately that it must have been shot in Africa.

According to the photographer, this beautiful scene was indeed captured in Namibia overlooking Fish River Canyon. I sort of wish the water bottle wasn’t there, but otherwise, this is just a fantastic shot.

Congrats go out to RedHQ for landing our coveted Photo of the Day. If you would like to contribute your own photos to be considered, please visit Flickr and upload to our Gadling Pool.

This photo “watching the world” by benny jewell reminds me of what travel feels like sometimes–still and whirling. Right now I’m traveling out of my element and routine between Seattle, Washington and Philipsburg, Montana. In the midst of visiting friends, I’m searching out places with WiFi, making sure my kids are entertained and taking in new sites. It’s a glorious time, but, like this photo, can make me feel relaxed and dizzy at the same time.

I’m curious about the image right above the person’s feet. Is it a statue? Is the green caused by trees? Turkey is mentioned on the tag list. Where in Turkey is this? This photo was recently posted on July 24 and I wonder what benny jewell is shooting now.

Since I now live in Brooklyn, and since I love to take and admire panoramic photos, I couldn’t well ignore his photo put up recently on our Gadling Flckr site. Taken by MarkHout the shot is a lively one showing the beginning of the bat viewing tour in Prospect Park, quite close to my apartment, actually. (and TBO, I didn’t even know there WAS bat viewing at the Park.)

And once again, dear readers, if you have some col shots you’d like to show off, please feel free to post them over at Flickr.

This picture was taken by Alexia Etsios in Cairo, Egypt last week.

Stark and impersonal, nothing says “urban struggle” better than this apartment block. The only indication that a lot of people must live there is the amount of laundry hanging up. The satellite dishes are a nice touch, too. It seems that the poorer the country, the more satellite dishes. What do they watch, I wonder. Soccer, CNN, Al Jazeera?

Here a lovely little photo from the Netherlands that caught my eye. Shot by t3mujin but without a caption or even an identifying location, I presume it is in Amsterdam somewhere. I only know (or think) it’s a Netherlands shot because the photographer has tagged it as such.

But either way, I like the simplicity of the scene, the way that the shot here is not some famous spot, just a few homes along the water, but the colors and the reflection make for a satisfying photo.

By the way: If you’d like your photo considered for the Gadling Photo of the Day, go over to the Gadling Flickr site and post a few. We’ll take a look and if we like what we see, we’ll run your pic.
