On my hunt for a shot that reflected the act of giving thanks or of some delicious foreign fare, I immediately became distracted by the light lavender looking skies found in this photo. Taken by StrudelMonkey, he leaves several details about this popular Statue of Germania, which he notes was erected in 1883 to commemorate the union of Bavaria to Germany by Otto van Bismark in 1871. He also notes that the statue is surrounded by approximately 200 near-life size figures from German history. Now that I’ve done my duties and pointed out very awesome shot for our photo of the day I think I’ll continue my searches, but for real food this time. Keep up the great photography!

Sticking rather local for this one, today’s Photo of the Day. We head to Taos, New Mexico, one of my favorite places around, even if I just know the skiing there. The photo, shot by ohad shows a lovely, squat adobe building where, suggests the photographer, folks are actually still living. Of course, being from California, I don’t think it’s a surprise to see people living in adobe, except that in California ,the stuff is fake, and I refer to it as pseudobe.

I’ve raved here so many times about a place in Chile called Torres del Paine, that I’m just going to put a link here to some of my earlier posts. The Towers of Paine, located in the far south of Chile in the region known as Patagonia are part of a national park that ranks, IMHO, as one of the best in the world. And while I don’t understand the French that makes up the caption here, this photo, by Bajy, does a wonderful job conveying the majesty and scale of this excellent place.

The further we slip away into winter I can’t help wanting to migrate to the same places where butterflies land on sweet beautiful flowers. Sure this shot comes from my own collection of flicks taken in Omaha’s botanical gardens during the very early stages of fall, but it seems I couldn’t find a fluttering butterfly these days to save my life. Luckily I’ll have this shot to help pass the time until spring and summer arrive once more or until I see more cheery winter land pictures in the Gadling Flickr pool.

OurManEverywhere has snapped a great shot here of some pond-like body of water reflecting a bright yellow house somewhere in Hoi An, Vietnam. This picture wouldn’t be near as perfect without the imperfect little ripples upsetting the water ever so gently. Great job!
