Photo of the Day (2/19/2007)

Well, the Gadling Flickr site seems to be down right now…or all of Flickr is currently down (“taking a massage” they tell us), so I had to do some looking around in other places for our Photo of the Day.

I came across this incredible photo of Glen Canyon Dam. I’d read in an Outside Magazine piece a long time ago how much the water had fallen at Glen Canyon, but this is remarkable. But in the same way that smog can sometimes create the most lovely sunsets, the reduced water level makes for a fantastic picture here of a boat cruising up the Colorado River.

Whether you just appreciate the majestic beauty of nature or appreciate the science implicit in this photo, you can’t deny it is really cool. I departed today from taking photos out of our Gadling Flickr site because I saw this photo of a young volcano and my jaw dropped.

The photo is apparently from Kamchatka in Russia, and it was obviously shot from a plane or helicopter, although “guy with a jet pack” is an acceptable answer as well. But what I found so interesting about this photo is how much it reveals about how the early earth must have looked, and what one picture says about how land is made.

When I saw this picture I thought I was going to find one of those motivational notes attached about success, following a dream or achieving some enormous goal, which by the sound of the caption it looks as if the photographer was very pleased with the results. This photo titled “Lonely Oak Leaf” was taken by Stormygirl while exploring one of California’s national parks. Great shot!

Oh boy, kids! It’s a jar of leeches!

I found this disgusting photo on Flickr of a Pet Bazaar in Istanbul. Adam S. Johnson snapped this beauty but wasn’t able to ascertain the reason why anyone would either buy or sell leeches at a pet market! Ugh.

Well I guess the good news is that it is not a food market. Ugh, again!

Every tourist who ever walks into a European cathedral eventually looks up in awe and then snaps the quintessential photograph of the quintessential cathedral ceiling. I’ve done so myself dozens of times and yet none of my shots possess that perfect symmetry which Moody75 has managed to capture with this photograph of Salisbury Cathedral.

Great job Moody, and congrats once again for being chosen for our Photo of the Day.
