Part of me was wary about choosing this photo as our Photo of the Day. It is so marvelous, so crisp and perfect, that I had to wonder if it was copied from some stock house or outdoor magazine’s Web site. And while I have no way to confirm it’s provenance, I will assume it is legit, and further I salute the author, Teewinot, (aka R. Douglas Andrews?) for taking one of the most amazing pictures we’ve posted here in a while. The shot, of course, is of the epic Maroon Bells near Aspen.

Very cool. Great composition. This photo looks like an old painting to me. Hopefully it is not a picture that will end up silkscreened on some hunting lodge stationary set. Or even worse, a real estate brochure.
The author, Tulcum, calls is Deer and Branches. I pulled it from photoblogs.org‘s Daily Shooter.

I love clicking through the gadling Flickr site to see what amazing photos people have chosen to upload. There are over 2,700 photos there now, and the majority of them are superb, sumptuous expressions of people’s passion for travel.
For today’s Photo of the Day, I selected this shot from Yellowstone that just screamed out at me. The vibrant colors here and the white rush of water over the waterfall made this one an easy choice. I could see hanging this shot on my wall, I like it so much. Made by Hoot1, it as good an example as any of the kind of talent that contributes to Flickr.

Today’s photo comes from my new collection of photos taken in Niagara earlier today. Since I was so ill prepared for a 6 degree photo shoot near the misty falls, I snapped and snapped what I could as fast as I could and then made a mad dash back to the car. It was beautiful, breath-taking and brrr…

I’m always a big sucker for colorful hot air balloons and bright blue skies. Weegolo exploits this weakness of mine by perfectly capturing the crispness of such a beautiful sight high above the snowy hills of Flims, Graubünden (Switzerland). Great job, and congrats on being selected as our Photo of the Day.
