Never mind the obvious salacious appeal of cleavage caught in mid-shimmy, this shot has lots of redeeming cultural and aesthetic values as well. I mean, look at the lovely way the woman’s hair drifts across her face, and the ocean wave-like movement of the golden dress. I mean, this is just a plain old pretty photo. Granted I’d like to see her face better, but what do you want for free?

Entitled Drum Circle Dancer, the shot is by JasonBechtel, whose photostream features several shots of this atractive drum dancer.

Perhaps just a wee bit out of focus, this lovely, deep blue shot by lecercle really caught my eye for both the angle at which it was shot and the interesting details in the picture. Though captionless, you can’t help wonder what is happening here. Where was this taken? Some place in Australia? And who’s that kid with the club in the background. Is that his bike? A picture that is both beautiful and
full of interesting little mysteries.

This picture totally reminds me of My Favorite Martian for some very odd reason. Could it be all the three-eyed alien like figures? Hmm… Out of the Gadling Flickr pool – SunToad took this one almost a year ago at a Halloween celebration in Tokyo Disneyland. While it’s still rather early to think about Halloween I thought the glowing eyes and lights and overall cuteness of the creatures deserved a moment of fame. Besides it makes me think of traveling out of this world.

While everyone else grabs their camera and heads just north of this spot to take photographs of Frank Lloyd Wright’s famous Fallingwater masterpiece, Jason Bechtel loitered downstream and captured this beautiful shot of the falls on Youghiogheny River in Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania.

Very nice! I wonder if Wright would be up for another commission in the area. If he were still alive, that is…

For today’s shot of the day, I’ve dipped back into the wonderful collection of Buck Forester, one of my favorite photographers who regularly contribute to the Gadling Flickr Pool.

This phenomenal view was captured on California’s Mono Lake. Forester is careful to point out that the amazing magenta color in the sky was not photoshopped but is rather a “combo of some strange lighting from the various layers of cloud cover and my 2-stop hard GND filter.”

I just can’t get over the peacefulness this photo conveys. And the cold. Brrr… Don’t tip over when you’re shooting these babies, Buck!
