Christmas time at an abandoned church in a ghost town at the bottom of Copper Canyon, Mexico, a hike away from Batopilas (a five-hour bus ride down from the Copper Canyon train stop at Creel).

Photographs of bridges can often be less than inspiring…and many times they’re downright cliche. But this shot by JasonBechtel of a bridge in Florida has a quality to it that is very appealing. Perhaps it’s the deep blue of the water juxtaposed against the glowing pylons of the bridge. Maybe he just caught it at exactly the right time of day. Either way, it’s a lovely shot and a good one to bring to a close a very fine Thanksgiving Day weekend. (btw: Part of me wanted to find a turkey picture for this POTD, but then I decided against it.)

Certainly not a perfect picture, but this one comes from my road trip files as seen first-hand just outside of the Grand Tetons in Wyoming. There was something about the way the ice sat on top of the plants that enchanted me. Obviously I didn’t get many a pleasure or chance to see snow and ice back then, but the times have definitely changed. I’ll be seeing snow, ice and feeling a lot of cold over the next couple of months up here in the northeast, so it probably won’t fancy me as much in another couple of weeks.

There is something about the colors in this shot that make it very different from the typical beach paradise photos one so often comes across. The sand is not white and the water is not blue, yet the strange off-colors represented here make this a much better photograph as a result.
A tip of the hat to LadyExpat who captures our Photo of the Day honors for this great shot of Koh Wai, Thailand.

Today’s Photo of the Day is dedicated to our American readers and the turkeys they will be consuming throughout the course of today’s Thanksgiving holiday.
I had to dig into the Flickr site instead of our regular Gadling pool to find this hilarious seasonal shot taken by JLudin, but I think the turkey’s priceless expression coupled with the vivid blue sky and bright red barn was well worth the detour.
I can’t help but wonder if this poor fellow is sitting on someone’s plate right now. Mmmm….
