Ah, Yellowstone. If ever there is a place that conjures up the American West. And what could be more appropriate for a shot of Yellowstone than a buffalo. I understand that the buffalo are undergoing a resurgence in Wyoming and Montana, thanks in large part to people like Ted Turner (who sells their meat). And for that we should all be glad. Of course, when you hear the stories about how many buffalo there USED to be, well, that just brings a tear to your eye. But enough pontificating. Here’s a lovely shot from fiznatty at Yellowstone Lake.

There is nothing like a good road trip. This photo by Garth Leach reminds me that the automobile is an awesome, romantic invention. It doesn’t actually have to be used solely to drive kids to and from soccer practice…
Photo of the Day (6/3/2007)
I got back from Norway a few days ago and have a gazillion photos to sort through. I’ll also be posting a series of dispatches on the trip in a few days (have you seen how many other dispatches have been running? Man, people have been doing a LOT of traveling).
Anyway, for now, let me draw from my collection of Norway photos for today’s Photo of the Day. This one shows one of Norway’s amazing, gaping, jaw-droppingly beautiful fjords. This shot is actually from the shoreline in the town of Balestrand, a quiet, lovely town on the fjord, highly recommended by Rick Steves.

I like yellow, but this gas station found in Lima, Peru was painted in too much yellow. The opening lyrics to Sesame Street popped into my head thinking it might be Big Bird’s house and those poor guys in black and yellow… I’m usually one for the company and team colors, but again my eyes are screaming Peru! Way to be on the lookout caffeineguy.

This shot, taken just four days ago, is a wonderful mélange of soft colors, hard angles and soothing lights. Captured by LocalSurfer at Bude–a beach resort town in North Cornwall–I love the random assortment of colors here and the way the wooden walkway gentle curves out of sight, taking your gaze with it.
If you would like some of your equally outstanding photos to be considered for Gadling’s Photo of the Day honors, jump on over to the Gadling Flickr Pool and upload away. LocalSurfer did just that and now just look at all the glory he’s basking in!
