LocalSurfer, one of our favorite Gadling photo contributors, has once again uploaded another gem. This fine shot of the fishing village of Clovelly isn’t exactly a shot of the village itself, but rather a way into it.

Apparently the entire village is privately owned and managed and tourists must pay an admission charge just to get in–unless, of course, you are privy to the above secret passage.

Illegalities aside, I just love the way this sunken pathway explodes with greenery in a pleasant, almost ethereal way. The photo also evokes a sense of age, mystery and adventure. The fact that the passageway is used to sneak into a place only serves to heighten the allure.

Great job, LocalSurfer!

Here is a magical night shot of a little town called Füssen located right outside of Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. While I’m sure it is just as charming with the sunshine – the fog makes for a nice touch. Round of sound to StrudelMonkey for hanging around these parts of the globe to capture such a sight!

For some odd reason Seattle has been very much on my mind lately. Having spent five fantastic years there, I am still madly in love with the place, especially during this time of year when it’s warm and sunny and about as lovely a place as there is on earth.

And so it was an easy task for to to choose this photo from bamassippi for our POTD this Sunday. I am actually in the airport right now waiting to fly to Charlotte to do some shooting/kayaking, and the photo here reminded me of many a great trip out of the San Juans in the Northwest. It is minimaist, but very well-composed, I think and even stirred a bit of the patriot in me…albeit a patriot wth a cup of Starbucks in his hand.

Butterflies are some of nature’s most delicate fluttering creatures. So when they are captured with wings fully spread, relaxing on the soft pink petals of a flower and posing for a passing photographer in the Ecuadorian Amazon they must also be granted a moment of fame on Gadling. This POTD was taken by fiznatty and several other beautiful butterflies and creepy crawlers from Ecuador can be found in the Gadling Flickr pool.
