With the cold snowy winter wonderland hanging outside of my window here in Connecticut right now I sure wouldn’t mind catching a lift in one of those over a sunset like that in the Hawaiian Islands. This photo was captured by gtetonswy at Kaanapali Beach on Maui and from the looks of it they must have had a pretty decent seat on the beach or perhaps they were just rocking away in a nice little boat watching as the chopper flew off into the fiery sun. Sigh – I sure don’t know, but I’d give just about anything to be there and out of the snow.

Holy Hooters, I’m glad I waited until later today/tonight to my photo of the day. Earlier, THIS photo by Hoot1 had not been posted, but now that it is…over at our Flickr site, of course, I get the pleasure of selecting it as the POTD. And why does that matter? Because this is an amazing photo. The Grand Tetons loom here behind a rustic-looking cabin in a lovely picture that I swear could be a postcard. We really have been attracting some fine talent to the Flickr site, and every time I go there, I am more and more impressed. The folks who add their pics there…you guys ROCK.

Sticking with the Great Wall theme, this is the “Peach Blossom River” that runs through Guilin, China (Guang Xi Zhuang province), on a lazy day. It feeds the Li River.

To be honest, I’m not exactly sure WHAT this is a photo of. OK, it’s obviously a rock and, well, some more rocks, and normally, you’d just pass right by a photo like this thinking that it was either the work of a total amateur or the product of an accidental slip of the finger.
It could still be either of these things, but the fact is, I like the photo. I like the different textures here and the cool blend of colors. Taken by stinger101 apparently in Cabo san Lucas, the photo has no caption…but it’s nice.

There is something about StrudelMonkey’s photos of food and beverage that always seem to draw me to them. Perhaps it is my insatiable appetite to experience new bits, nibbles, sips and guzzles in exotic areas. In this most recent addition to the Gadling Flickr pool we are lured into the Absolut Ice Bar in Stockholm, Sweden by two drinks on ice. And when I say on ice I really mean in ice – ice glasses. According to the photographer everything is made ice which means you’ll have to throw back the vodka extremely fast or wear some mittens while babysitting your glass. As wimpy as I am about the cold I wouldn’t mind chilling out at this cool spot on a frosty Saturday night.
