So the photo here is nothing too exotic…not a shot of feasting monks in Cambodia or anything…but it is still very nicely composed and wonderfully detailed. The shot of the Duomo in Florence, Italy, comes to the Gadling Flickr group from brad77 and I have to say he caught the classic building on a wonderfully blue sky day.

Now it is true I have eaten many a questionable dish and species in my lifetime, but looking at this South American plate I’m thinking probably not as much as some folks have. Um, yes. According to Morrissey who left this fine gastronomic shot in our Gadling Flickr pool the meat is delicious. What kind of meat is that you ask? Well it’s a Cuy (or guinea pig). If you stare a little harder you can make out a limb or two and yes, that looks like a head there too. Can anyone else see this? Would you sample this while hanging out in Peru? I would.
Stomach growling or turning yet?

At first glance, these look vaguely like those formaldehyde-filled bottles in high school biology class. You know the ones, filled with little pig fetuses and other dead creatures preserved for generations of gawking students.
The notable difference, however, is that these bottles are meant to be tipped back and consumed. Yes, that is a dead cobra seen though the shimmery glass. And there are a couple of other creepy-crawly-slithering things thrown in for good measure as well.
Caffeineguy was kind enough to post this photo of Cobra Rice Wine, a delicacy in Vietnam, in our Gadling photo pool.
Hey Caffeineguy, why aren’t there any photos of you taking a shot? Wimp.

It has been a while since I turned to one of my favorite photographers, localsurfer, for a Photo of the Day, so I figured there was no better time.
He seems to get around, and the new series of photos he’s posted over at the gadling Flickr site caught my attention. This one, in particular, of a friendly-looking young lad in, well, I’m not sure where, but some place jungly, as he is off to go fishing and localsurfer tells us as much. But a friendly face the kid’s got and a fine photographer behind the camera.
