Photo of the Day (October 23, 2006)

Following on my post about the Li River, near Yangshuo, China, here’s a shot I took from the kayak. The rain had just finished, but we could hear thunder in the distance. The river was moving swiftly, carrying us past this “commuter.”

Seeing amazing pictures from Thailand often gets me a little heated and tells me it is time to start planning again for a great Thai adventure of my own. (The tsunamis stopped me from going three days before my flight out. I know I’ve mentioned it a million times.) Sorry. Anyhow, this awesome sunset with water skier shot comes from weegolo who spent time in the Koh Samui area back in 98′. Great shot and thanks for the added inspiration! Hope to see more from this set.

I love the composition of this photograph… the separation between the two people, estranged in some way yet still connected by the stone walkway. If it were a painting, I think it would symbolize death… the wife waiting behind while the older husband leisurely strolls to his peaceful end.

We can thank Pedromgb for this great shot of Mt. Tamaro, Switzerland and all the symbolism it conjures.

Here’s a great shot from the Greek Island of Mykonos where the island’s beautiful white houses are so over-photographed they’ve become a cliché. Peteppp, however, has managed to capture a unique perspective that gives the place a bizarre, M.C. Escher twist.

Better stay away from the ouzo if you ever find yourself wandering around here!

Wow – what a breath of fresh air! Scubadiver who surely had to have been on land for this shot brings up the crisp and clear photo of dew resting on a rose petal. This one was captured just after a rain fall in Oregon which leads me to believe that even if isn’t surf Scubadiver still likes playing in water found on turf. Excellent macro piece!
