Mmmm… boiling pots of random food products.

This shot, taken somewhere in Taiwan by Styggiti, gives me flashbacks of hunger pains in Asia overriding hygienic good sense. The “point and pray” method of eating is what makes travel all the more exciting; you never know what you’re eating, nor will you know the evil it might wreck on your insides until a few hours later. And yet, you still point out something to the kind lady and pray it doesn’t kill you.

Bright red watermelon, bright green banana leaves. This is the luncheon scene faced by Ourmanwhere someplace in Granada (Nicaragua). I’m not a big fan of watermelon, but look how sweet and juicy those slices look. Mmmm… It must have been a tasty tour of Grenada.

If you would like your vacation photos considered for our Photo of the Day, jump on over to our Gadling Flickr Pool and upload away. Be kind, however, and don’t post anymore photos that will make us hungry.

For some reason I can’t let go of the beach these days. I’ve got beach plans for the weekend – sure, but how I wish it were this dark sandy Santorini scene above. That’s right! Complete with umbrellas and empty beach chairs, this shot was taken by Ambre78 while hanging out in Greece. Nice work!

If you’d like to see your island, beach, and sunny vacation travel photo work featured on Gadling, be sure to place them in our Flickr pool.

When I used to work on 2nd Street just off of the Santa Monica Third Street Promenade, I used to dread going to work some days. It was too crowded. There were too may people -too many tourists with their heads in the clouds and not focusing their attention on where they are going. Grrr! Anyhow, those days have passed and now a trip to the promenade isn’t so bad. If anything it is a great place to people watch. I suppose Bernard -SD could have been taking the time to photograph his friends rather than perfect strangers engulfed in the perfect magazine on a perfect California night, but just maybe he scored this shot of two very unsuspecting guys enthralled by their glossies.

Thanks for placing this one in the Gadling Flickr pool!
