Photo of the Day (5/17/07)

I guess if you’re going to live in a floating house, you may as well pick a nice place to let it float. This great shot from Feserc captures a mother and son hanging a fishing pole off their front porch and into Ha Long Bay in Vietnam. It’s not the most technically perfect shot, but it sure does give you a feeling for what life is like for some people in this part of the world.

Here is a shot that wins my vote as it does not scream location. I’m guessing it’s the photographer’s secret hideout in Asia somewhere similar to Batman’s bat cave except there are beautiful sunflowers on the exterior and only a bicycle to go out and catch evil villains. Or maybe flyingtiger uses the bike only to check out a current movie playing or to go on a photo safari in Hutong.

Could it be me or does the man’s foot look like that of a baby or airbrushed? It looks perfect and almost soft to touch, but seriously everything grabs me about this photo. Every part of me wants to cut and paste myself into the scene and pretend as if I were on the boat sailing somewhere – anywhere. I can’t promise my feet would look as nice as the model or photographer found here, but you wouldn’t be paying attention to that after all with the blue water and the sunset out ahead. Sweet shot out of Australia, Kouiskas.

Somewhere in India the local fire station stands empty and awaiting its call to duty. I sure hope the surrounding buildings aren’t very large or very combustible. I’m guessing it might be on a boat, which is either more or less comforting. I’m not sure which.

Nonetheless, the local firemen get an “A” for their fine use of color captured so adroitly by Gadling photo contributor Lecercle.
