We’ve certainly posted our share of sunsets here, but I don’t recall any of the photos being quite as glorious as this one. I just found this over at the Gadling Flickr site and it kind of took my breath away. Shot by Patrick Powers who seems to be testing some filters in the creation of these pictures, this one in particular could be in a glossy travel magazine. Or on second thought, maybe on my wall in poster-size.

Somehow seeing this shot makes me a little sad. Don’t get me wrong, the beauty found in the design of the Barajas airport in Madrid is without a question, but I can’t help thinking back to my first and only trip to Madrid. Did I fly into a different airport or was I in such a hurry to escape the hordes of tourists looking to tackle the city that I missed such an elegant piece of interior scenery? I feel lost now.
Anyhow, I’m thankful wongoz left this fantastic work of art in our Flickr pool. Nice stuff!

I’ve always been a big sucker for tulips. And, for towns sharing my last name. As a result, I was unable to resist posting this great, rainbow shot of tulip fields in Woodburn, Oregon. I’m so very happy that such a beautiful place was named after me. Thanks go out to molallarivercowboy for so perfectly capturing my namesake.

Labor Day is just around the corner and all thoughts turn towards Burning Man. Located on the salt flats of Nevada, shots like these are as common during the festival as, well…, salt. I was particularly intrigued with this one, however, and all the symbolism contained within.
Thanks go out to darcym who posted this gem on Flickr.

I admit it: I actually have a phobia with regard to train tracks — they completely freak me out. However, even I can’t help but be mesmerized by this photograph of train tracks diverging in the distance, taken by snwbeast in Santa Cruz, California. It sort of has a “track less traveled” appeal, don’t you think?
