While it does seem like awfully chilly and gloomy day in January, the warm glow from a hot dog stand in Vienna, Austria seems to be the most toasty and possibly tasty place in sight. This shot comes from StrudelMonkey out of the Gadling Flickr pool.

Yes, it’s the old, “wading in the water and staring off into the waves shot.” I’m always a sucker for these set-ups but every so often one really breaks out through the crowd and outdoes the category. On this particular shot, taken in Kashid, India, I love the bright yellows and the many shades of blue simmering away until the sky itself nearly disappears.
Great job lecercle!

Simply titled, A Cold January Weekend in Vienna, there is really not much else to say about this powerful shot of… a cold January weekend in Vienna.
Love it!
Congrats to Strudelmonkey for landing yet another great composition on our Photo of the Day. Keep ’em coming!

This photo makes me laugh inside trying to imagine what type of conversation (if any) took place when snapping away at the little 2008 Olympic mascot, Ying Ying, in Beijing. Ying Ying is only one of five of the official mascots and is a Tibetan antelope which symbolizes health and strength according to our photographer, Bernard Siao. This shot doesn’t really scream China or Chinese travel, but it was too darn cute to pass up.

It’s not everyday a traveler gets to shoot from a helicopter, but apparently this was colmdc‘s lucky day. And the shot he nabbed here of Victoria Falls is breath-taking. I’ve always wanted to visit these falls. I’ve seen Iguazu (in Brazil), which are mind-blowingly impressive, but Victoria Falls are also said to be an amazing sight. Judging from this shot, I’d say that’s probably true.
