I love that this kid is trying to be funny, but has managed to keep a somewhat serious, almost troubled look on his face. Or, perhaps, he is slightly troubled and has a condition that involves placing reptiles on his head.

Photographer bama_man doesn’t have an explanation either. “This boy was standing on the road somewhere between Marrakech and Er Rachidia (via Ouarzazate and the Todra Gorge),” he writes, “and when we pulled up beside him, he tossed this lizard on his head and we snapped this picture.” Okay then, perhaps that’s how they say “hello” in this part of the world.

Nonetheless, congrats go out to bama_man for making our Photo of the Day two days in a row.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen this exact scene in third world countries around the globe. And you know what? The woman is always carrying the larger bundle on her back compared to her husband.

This particular reenactment of sexist inequality in the third world comes to us compliments of bama-man who nicely captured this husband-and-wife team on Amantani Island in Lake Titicaca.

For some reason or another Moody75 just got around to tossing this shot into our Gadling Flickr pool. Without the tags I probably wouldn’t have guessed this was taken at DTW airport in Detroit. What strikes me the most is the number of people in wheelchairs the photographer managed to capture. From the movement to the colors, I’d say it is a pretty gnarly shot.

Wow. There’s just something about the Czech Republic that gives you that “sweet light” near the sunset. And there’s nothing quite like it on the red rooftops of Prague. But here’s a shot that takes the breath away, from a town in southern Bohemia, called Telc (pronounced “telch”).

The town center is a UNESCO World Heritage site of colorful, picturesque 14th century buildings that can be seen here.

thanks, izarbeltza!

Garth Leach over at DropThePuppetHead shoots some amazing photos.

The guy has got some real talent. It’s been a LONG time since we gave some props to Garth and his work, and since he decided after a long interlude to upload some stuff to the gadling Flickr site, well, we figured it was time to remind folks about some of Garth’s work. So our much coveted POTD (ha!) goes to this shot of Garth’s in Milan.

And if you want to see more of his work, go here.
