What a fantastic, simple shot. This great photograph of some ruddy little boat on the Belfast quays comes to us via Colmdc. He has nicely titled it the Great Escape–although I’m not sure if it is with a sense of irony, humor, or dead-pan honesty.
If you would like to bask in the glory of having your shot chosen for Photo of the Day, jump on over to our Gadling Flickr Pool and upload away.
Ah, yes. Street food! I simply love wandering through foreign lands checking out the strange street foods available. This particular shot is taken at Konkuk University, Seoul by Gadling reader cfarivar. I love the way the steam is coming off the food and how the hard-working proprietor is just smiling away. Mmm… I can almost smell those shish-ka-bob…
Recently Jaime mentioned April being National Poetry Month so when I saw this photo tucked into the Gadling Flickr pool I felt obligated to select it, but why? Well the photographer, cfarivar, has titled the shot as “Y-Men Poem” and when as I read through I am not sure how it came about, but a few other questions came to mind. Like would it be an educated guess to say that ‘Yes’ is a lingerie store of sorts? Or does this written dialogue about panties make women really want to shop there? I love the exclamation marks after it all though!!! The excitement to be found in South Korea!!!! Let’s go – Yes?
Conjuring images of both an exotic world and a scene from Apocalypse Now, this photo by LadyExpat really caught my eye. Taken around Bac Ninh, whch I am going to guess is nowhere near, say, Seattle (actually it appears to be in Vietnam), this is one of those photos that made me think of one of my own tris in Cambodia years ago.
Sitting here in my New York City apartment with a nasty nor’easter blowing outside the windows, I took one look at this photo by Bernard-SD shot at Torry Pines down in San Diego and it took my breath away. The shot says so much about California, I think. It made me pine almost painfully for my home state: for the rolling hills down south, the comfortable dryness and the magical light that he captured so well here.
