The caption speaks for itself here. In this photo from China a nice display of old vs new gives a pretty cool perspective from Shanghai. Shot by StrudelMonkey, the photo looks across the Huang Pu River toward Pudong and provides, as the photographer says, a nice demonstration of the changes happening now in the Far East.

File this one under: Mazatlan Food Porn.
This shot comes from my own gallery of Mexican goodies and was taken moments before satisfying my personal street food craving in Mazatlan. While fried bananas covered in condensed milk and caramel is hardly frightening, one can never tell what exotic belly dance type effect foreign food will have on the bowels while vacationing. I survived! Today’s self-promoting POTD also comes with a reminder to check out this gallery of Weird Things People Eat Around the World and this plug on avoiding side effects of bad street food.
Bon appetite!

Oh, yes! Croatia! This time last year I was basking in the sun along the fine Croatian coast. This nice shot by DropThePuppetHead takes me back to warm summer days and frolicking in crystal clear waters. I love how the rocks in the water start out almost red before turning ever-so-blue as the depth increases. I’m not too sure about wading at the shoreline, but I’m all about jumping right in at the end of the dock!

Here’s a great shot of deep blues taken off the coast of Sonoma County, California where the Russian River meets the Pacific Ocean. Captured just after sunset, the ocean hangs in limbo; it hasn’t yet given up all the warmth of the daytime, nor has it yet fully embraced the frigid marine air of the night.
Hats off to StormyGirl for catching this fleeting moment.
