Today’s POTD goes to E-R-G-O for this really superb, Natinal Geogrphic quality photo of an Esala Perahera performer in the festival of Esala Perahera in (I believe) Sri Lanka. The colors are vibrant and the composition is excellent. In fact, check out his phole photo stream. The guy (E-R-G-O) has real talent.

Doesn’t today’s POTD just silently whisper secrets about peaceful places? I think so. Lostinplace photographer left this one in our Gadling Flickr pool after capturing the quiet moment at Eastern Point in Glouchester. I’m guessing that is in Massachusetts somewhere, but there are a few Glouchester’s out there so if you care to share lostinplace, please feel free to do so.

Nothing in the world could be more tear-jerking than an abandoned food cart in NYC. (Sniffles) Don’t you agree? While the owner of the cart may have stepped away for just seconds his absence allowed ohad to capture this beautiful and lonesome cart in front of the glowing red and yellow storefronts. Thanks ohad for uploading this shot into the Gadling Flickr pool.

Hey Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore!
Today’s Photo of the Day comes to us from Cambodia where it’s possible to buy grasshoppers by the pound for all sorts of delicious, mouth watering recipes–or, just as a quick snack between meals. Mmmm…
Thanks to HappyWanderer01 for contributing this tasty shot to our Gadling Photo Pool. We hope you had the opportunity to chow down on some of these little jumpers after taking their photo.

This photo so perfectly captures those high desert ‘stan countries. This one, taken in the Pamirs of Tajikstan by teokaye, features the quintessential old weathered face, grubby kids (one strangely holding up a playing card), and an amazing mountain backdrop.
According to the caption attached to the photo, the photographer asked this old man about “Chinese history in the region” and the answer he received back was classic: “Well, I don’t really know much. And when you don’t know anything, really, what’s the point in lying? Now come drink tea with me.”
