Here is a happy hot-air balloon shot from weeglo taken while hanging around Switzerland not long ago. Balloon shots are some of my personal favorites as the activity has been high on my list to do for ages, but I’ve somehow managed to miss all opportunities. This year I’m hoping to find them and Switzerland doesn’t sound like a bad option. Thanks for the inspiration weeglo! All the rest of you go check out some of the others in the Gadling Flickr pool.

This photo by Libor Marik taken in the Himalayas is, well, chilling.
When I grow up (and start enjoying cold climates), I want to go there, too. I am hoping that similar vistas will be the norm; a place where you just can’t take a bad picture.

Photographer and frequent gadling Flickr contributor Luminous Lens get our much-coveted (OK, maybe not so coveted) Photo of the Day mention today for this rather beautifully bleak photo she calls Marshlands. The shot of Winter Garden, Florida does not exactly make you say, hey, I want to travel there! but it has a kind of haunting allure that I found appealing.

For my Saturday evening photo of the day selection, I chose this one from StrudelMonkey. Taken in Seville, Spain last December he notes that flamenco is more than a folk music. “It embodies a complex musical and cultural tradition.” From the way the woman is moving, one can almost feel her thoughts and emotions seeping from her soles from what I imagine to be sweet sounds flowing from the Spanish guitar being played.

Here’s a great shot by Hoot1 of Palette Spring, part of the amazing Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park. Hoot1 describes the springs as “a cave turned inside out” in which calcium carbonate, algae, and hot water combine to give off some pretty remarkable colors. Good job Hoot1!
