Still searching for the perfect stocking stuffer for your loved one? Well, if you’re in Paris for the holidays you might want to check in with this dude selling many mini Eiffel Tower. He seems to have several and no real-takers. Maybe he’s just getting started with his business day. Taken by localsurfer in Paris with some type of Lomo cam (Holga?), I’d say he did a good job capturing the guy’s boredom or lack of interest while on the job.

Cool photo of a female road worker in Cambodia. But I have to wonder: what’s she hiding in that Khmer headscarf? Looks like a melon or something. Maybe for lunch. Seriously, though, a lovely shot from LadyExpat.

This is a recent photo of a resort area called Nathiagali, in northern Pakistan. The picture reveals the reality: lush evergreen forests, high mountains (8200 ft, where this photo was taken). While the photo may not be like some of the super artsy items we’ve thrown on these pages, I got this from a friend who is an embassy worker in Pakistan. The photo is here because it’s a glimpse of a world that we hear a lot about (mostly bad, unfortunately), but about which we, as Westerners, know almost nothing. (To plan your trip, start here.

Here’s a photo of a place that might not be with us much longer. According to some reports and research, the Maldives might someday disappear beneath the ocean waves due to rising sea levels and global warming. Bad news, especially for Maldivians. I understand, actually, that the diving in the Maldives is fantastic, and this photo from YXO seems to bear that out. Just look at the lovely turquoise water.
