Photo of the Day (7/05/06)

I love the unique perspective from which Irish Guy shot this photo of Sri Mariamman temple, apparently the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore.  The colours are vibrant, and the detail perfect — and doesn’t it look like these Hindu deities are looking down at you from heaven?

Photo of the Day (7/4/2006)


Well, I was keeping an eye out on the Gadling Flickr site for some great 4th of July photo, but alas, none ever showed. So it’s late and I’m going to use one of my photos from Saratoga this weekend. No, it’s not the greatest photo in the world, but it’s historical and appropriate for the day. The shot is of a mortar aimed out over the Saratoga Battlefield where one of the most important fights of the Revolutionary War took place.

I love the intensity of this beautiful sky, taken by *atomtigerzoo, in the Netherlands.  With its vibrant colours and the stark contrast with the futuristic architecture of the RWTH Aachen in front, it seems absolutely other-worldly.

Photo of the Day (7/2/2006)


Cinematographers never tire of using the spiral staircase in film. And photographers use them a helluva lot as well. But usually they are shot in a stark black and white, with an artsy kind of feel suggesting confusion or torment. Not here. Of course, I imagine this was shot with less artistic intent than the kind of photos I’m talking about, but the color here, the orangey light and the guy in the mid-foreground. Very cool. The shot comes from Kouiskas who says it is a picture of his friend at his flat in Marseille.

This is another landscape shot coming directly from my personal Kodak EasyShare Gallery. Walking out of Springerville, AZ in the direction of Show Low, you’ll find these happy little hills or mountains peaking out here and there. Part of the White Mountain chain, I had an unbelievable sense of calm come over me on this day. Fluffy white clouds dotting the blue sky, yellow grass, brown earth and somewhat White Mountains made for an especially interesting site, considering there aren’t any in Florida.
