I’ve been to Philly about two or three times and have never seen the city from under the Schuykill River bridges like this. Luminous Lens notes after much debate she decided to take her camera outside although there was overcast and came back with two shots. This was one of them and personally I think it’s great. The muted colors and browns in the photo all look really visually attractive here. Even with the slight murky feeling this shot makes me want to see this secret place underneath Philly’s bridges.

Aw yes. The quintessential hanging laundry shot. It’s hard to believe that this age-old method for drying clothes is still readily practiced throughout the world–in this case, near the La Spezia train station in Italy.
I love the blue sky and stark whites so adeptly captured by t3mujin in this shot. I guess if your whites weren’t this white, you might not be hanging them out for the whole world to see. Nonetheless, a wonderful composition of colors. Great job t3mujin!

A few jagged lines and two contrasting colors and strudelmonkey has captured himself a rather nice shot of Mykonos, Greece. Such shots are usually a pleasant accident when I’m behind the camera, but assuming this composition was intended as is, we award Mr. Studelmonkey Photo of the Day. Good job!

Question – As travel photographers are we just suckers for children or are they really that cute? Seriously! I know I’ve taken a good handful of pictures of the foreign youngsters in the past. With most of my shots I always found extremely big bright eyes looking into the lens accompanied by goofy childish grins and giggles frozen in time. Here it feels like quite the opposite. We’ve got two very adorable young girls both sampling what looks like some overly delicious vanilla ice cream on cones. Neither seems interested in the camera and the one on the left looks more interested in her friend’s ice cream than her own. Very nice shot from vyxle taken in Japan and I love the fog in the background.

I confess I’m getting this photo or the day up a bit late. Sorry about that, but it is worth the wait.
This shot of La Grande Mosquée, Touba, Senegal cfarivar is a perfect combination of superb composition and the exoticness of travel. It highly deserves our honor (such as it is) and others as well. It makes me realize that one of the reasons I so enjoy doing these Photos of the Day and having the gadling Flickr site is that I get to see places like this that I’ve never seen before.
