I guess I’m a sucker for sunsets because this is the nth photo of the day I’ve selected that features the sun going down, usually behind some tropical horizon. What can I say? I guess I’m also a sucker for Corona ads.
This shot by snwbeast is particularly nice given the lovely boat passing through the sun in the distance. Great job on this one.
Today’s shot comes out of Japan from vyxle. I’ve always been a fan of food and beverage shots. They give you a sense of place without even seeing the place. No sumo wrestlers, no geisha, no temples, or dizzying shots from a Tokyo karaoke bar. Just the Lemon drink bottles with a little bit of English and a little bit of Japanese.
Very cool and from the Gadling Flickr pool. Upload your own shots for a chance at the POTD.
Localsurfer is always providing us with some great shots for our Photo of the Day feature and today’s is no exception.
This way cool tower is known as Glastonbury Tor and is located in… um… frankly I don’t really know.
So I Googled it and learned that it is found in Somerset, England and is revered for its mysticism and holiness. Apparently Gwyn ap Nudd, the King of the Fairies, lives here and those who pay him a visit get to experience some type of peaceful nirvana.
Whatever the legend which surrounds this structure, I think we all agree; it sure is a mystical shot.
Thanks to a tip from Willy regarding yesterday’s Burning Man photos, I popped over to check out the Flickr site of Lou Piote. His Burning man photos are pretty cool, but I was quickly distracted by his “Markets of Vietnam” category.
I love foreign markets and Piote so perfectly captures their bizarreness and beauty that we are therefore honoring him with Photo of the Day status for four of his shots–although I could have included nearly every one of them.
Chickens for sale at Sa Pa Market
Live eels. Mmmm…..
While I don’t mind where I am now, I sure wouldn’t mind being here either. I love the cool lines of color from the turquoise water to the wet brown parts of what I imagine to be soft, sandy shore. Oh, and those fuchsia flowers! This beautiful photo of the day is compliments of Styggiti from his vacation in Dorset, England sometime in 2004.
