Too often now when I find myself thinking about New Zealand I’m taken to scenes from major motion pictures. From Keisha Castle-Hughes clinging to a whale as it goes underneath the cold blue water to a tiny Hobbit by the name of Frodo protecting a ring, I’ve been to the land of New Zealand through more movies than I can honestly name. Today, I travel there compliments of Jitsu who left this fine shot of Milford Sound in the Gadling Flickr pool. From the peaks to their reflections in the chilly looking rippling water this shot is simply breath taking!

I was feeling a bit nostalgic for Iceland and did a quick photo search over at Flickr for my favorite little Scandinavian Nordic island.
The entire country is so photogenic that I could have spent hours searching through the 149,849 photos tagged with “Iceland,” but I didn’t get past the first page before being blown away by this shot taken by hkam at the “gait championships at Mývatn.” Cold, blustery, and beautiful, I just had to share it with our Gadling readers.

Europe has its Catholic cathedrals and we here in America have our Mormon temples. This particular one, located in San Diego, California, is mesmerizingly captured by Patrick Powers. I thought at first that it was a mirror image of a single half, but high up on the right steeple you can just make out the angel Moroni tooting his horn.
The near-perfect symmetry, deep shades of blue, futuristic lines, and warm floodlights truly come together to make this photo truly spectacular. Great job, Patrick!

Little information is offered on this photo found in Gadling Flickr pool as captured by peteppp and as the old saying goes, “Pictures are worth more than a thousand words.” This photo leaves me creating a thousand captions though. Surely it’s a a rather simple shot; some friends on the beach collecting shells as another tries to pull a shard of glass from her toe. Heck, I’m without a clue, but I’m digging the sun rays. If you’re out there peteppp, let us know where you were when you took this picture. Provide us with a little 411.

No matter how cliche this photo is (and I’m sorry, it’s cliche…this near exact shot must be in the collection of every tourist who’s ever been to Angkor), I still like it.
I like the fact it’s in black and white and I like that the shooter, one RW007, had the patience to at least wait until one of these little scooter guys, rolled through the frame. The shot is, of course, Angkor’s famous south gate, and having savored Angkor’s jaw-dropping size and beauty myself, I couldn’t resist choosing this photo from the Gadling Flickr site.
