Evanr or uknowthename does it again! Here we have a shot under a shady bar or restaurant of some type in Dahab, Egypt two weeks after the bombing there earlier this year. Thank goodness Evan didn’t get stuck in the middle of that, but from this photo you would never think a thing goes wrong in the area. Nice!

Something about it being Labor Day and this huge crashing waterfall just felt right together. Caffeineguy took this one while wandering around South America somewhere. Brazil? Argentina? Not entirely sure, but it looks as if he was rather close to the waterfall’s edge. Oh, and I can just hear the loud crashing sound from the falls. That’s how alive this photo is! Good stuff.

The slot canyons of the American Southwest have been photographed so many times that photos are almost a cliche. And let’s face it, I’ve never been one to pass up a good cliche.
So take a look at today’s photo from JasonBechtel, a lovely shot of a couple of horseback riders meandering through the slot canyons of Grand Staircase-Escalante park. Remember, too, that we select our Photos of the Day from the Gadling Flickr site, and anyone can contribute. We choose a new photo every day.

Looking at a photo like this one might imagine that the large group of villagers dressed in their everyday attire have come together to watch a wrestling match or two goats brutally head-butt each other, but in this case both guesses would be so wrong. This shot of on-lookers was captured by teokaye at a Tajik wedding. The children look on so intensely it really makes you wonder. He notes that 85% of everyone doesn’t participate and isn’t even invited at most Tajik village weddings. In Tajik culture it’s pretty much a given that they’ll show up. Only family and friends dance. Now that’s how you crash a wedding party!

Today’s Photo of the Day comes to us from Carpetblogger–a talented photographer we’ve honored before who has a great knack for capturing the essence of the former Soviet Union. Here we have a street performer in Uzhgorad, Ukraine working hard for his money. I’ll bet the tune he’s playing is one of melancholy.
