Photo of the Day (6/15/07)

I like this photo because it makes me think of one thing: Neapolitan ice cream. Don’t you want to just take a big scoop out of the first three rows of buildings in Capitola (near Santa Cruz) and plop it down on a mammoth ice cream cone? Mmmm…

Thanks go out to GraceD for making me think of cool pleasures on this warm June day.

A mosquito coil and a local beer.

This photo, more so than the more technically beautiful ones you might find in our Gadling Flickr Pool, so perfectly sums up travel as we know and love it here at Gadling. I can just imagine the warm, tropical nights, the refreshing beverages, and the endless conversation with fellow travelers who just met earlier that day.

Thanks go out to OurManWhere who managed to take me back to my days in South East Asia staring at similar looking bottles with equally foreign brand names emblazoned on them. I’m sure Willy can appreciate this shot as well.

For a photo drive-by shooting I’d say this one out of Lisboa is pretty fun, funky and fresh. I can’t tell if the person seen is power walking or on a light jog around the town, but I’d love to be in their sneakers. Doesn’t a stroll through Lisboa sound nice? Nice work t3mujin and thanks for tucking this one into the Gadling Flickr pool.

When I headed up to Norway recently, I was briefly excited about having the opportunity to see the Northern Lights. Then, of course, I remembered that it was the wrong season for that and rather than darkness, the skies would pretty much be light through the night. Sigh.

And so to get a taste of what the Northern lights actually look like, I have to turn instead to this photo by fiznatty. Taken in Sweden (though not recently…right?), it is actually a very professionally composed shot. But we expect nothing less from our Gadling Flickr site contributors.

Sorry, couldn’t help myself: I took this a couple of days ago on the California coastline, below Big Sur, off Hwy 1. It’s definitely one of the most beautiful stretches of road–and coastline–in the world.
