Having had several types of cooked liver in the past I have come to decide that it is probably the least tasty part of any animal. Yet, seeing this photo of a young man cooking up what must be considered a very yummy snack (camel liver) in Mauritania almost makes me want to try some first-hand. Then again in the end I probably wouldn’t. There is something about liver that tastes the same among all animals. Am I alone on this one? Regardless, we can all thank cfarivar for providing a glimpse of what life and dining in Mauritania is like on a daily basis.

Today’s Photo of the Day comes to us from Bonnie Bowne who has managed to capture some wonderful shades of blue in this stunning shot of Mt. Moran in Wyoming. Shortly after taking this shot, the clouds rolled in and obscured the mountain for the next couple of days. So I think we can all agree that Bonnie was in the right place at the right time. And of course, she has a wonderful eye for such things.

I’m giving myself a little present today and awarding Photo of the Day honors to me!
This shot was taken two summers ago in Georgia. No, not the state, but rather the former Soviet Republic. In case you’re wondering where that is, check out the mountains in the background. If you climb over them and descend to the other side, you will find yourself in Chechnya.
Fortunately there is a well protected border between Georgia and Chechnya and few problems spill over from that horrific conflict. This wasn’t so true in the past. Ancient guard towers such as the one in this photo are scattered throughout mountains passes in Georgia as the region has been sadly invaded numerous times throughout its existence.

The closer I get to my own island escape the more these types of photos just jump out at me. This one especially because I like most island lovers who have so often gone over to the less expensive Caribbean – have too often skimped out on the deep costly Pacific and places like Bora Bora featured here. I’m just happy to know one of our Gadling readers was kind enough to tuck this one inside the Gadling Flickr pool for the rest of us to drool over or get inspired about. Thanks stinger101and I hope to see more from the trip!

While the caption of this photo is rather banal “Sunset in my neighborhood” it is still an excellent photo. Sure, the photographer Bonnie Bowne, might have just been in the right place at the right time (uh, at her home, at sunset), but she caught it right. Lovely gradations of color and cool shadows. Great job.
