Photo of the Day (9/22/06)

We’re going back to localsurfer for yet another Photo of the Day.

This particular photo would be just another average nature shot if it weren’t for that little lizard arm casually tossed over the edge of the bench. And, of course, the smug look on that little fella’s face.

This Red Headed Agama (??) was obviously enjoying a well-earned siesta when localsurfer came across him somewhere in the wilds of Cameroon.

I just love the bright colors and hazy mist that this photo captures of last year’s Oktoberfest. Having attended this annual festival a number of years ago, I can attest that the colors become less bright and the mist heavier as the evening wears on.

And then, of course, there’s the smell of sweaty Germans, spilt beer, and cigarettes that fortunately cannot be conveyed through photography such as this.

Nonetheless, great shot!

I admit it was the flowery blanket that called my attention to this photograph and made it POTD. In what could have been a very hi-tech secret agent (complete with an iPod and shades) on the move shot (had there been black silk sheets) was softened by what looks like grand mama’s blankie. But it’s cool. Very cool. In fact, it would almost be nice to see more photos like this JRAWLS, on different bed sheets and with a different video image being uploaded. I’m seeing strange coffee-table material. Aren’t you?

Getting to this one a bit late, but that’s because I’ve been trolling the Web for pictures of the “big shiny disc” art exhibit over at Rockefeller Center right now. The exhibit is also known as the “Sky Mirror” and is the work of artist Anish Kapoor. It was unveiled this morning at Rock Center. I found one photo by gothamistllc that captures the thing nicely, but there’s actually a whole set of them here.

Here is what you call the “diver’s four-leaf clover” according to webmink who took this awesome shot of a fiery red starfish in the Bahamas. While I’ve spotted some in the past none have ever looked as vibrant as the one found here. This was a pleasant surprise among all the other photos in the Gadling Flickr pool. Webmink if you’ve got more we’d love to see them and that goes for anyone else out there with photos to share.
