Visiting local outdoor markets is one of my favorite things to do while traveling. The oddball variety of various food items for sale is always bizarre and, at times, even disturbing. Today’s Photo of the Day captures the allure of foreign markets with a shot of what looks like a mouth-burning selection of chili peppers in Oaxaca, Mexico. Thanks to Moody75 for contributing this shot to our Gadling Photo Pool.

When she was 26 years old, my very best friend in life, Jessica, left her lifelong home of Houston to visit her penpal of 13 years, Peter, in Belgium. Three days later, they were engaged, and now she lives in a rural town in Belgium with Peter and their three daughters. So when I saw this photograph of a rustic house in rural Belgium taken by Luminous Lens, it immediately made me think of my good friend Jessica. So there was no way that this couldn’t be the Photo of the Day for me.

I haven’t done a great deal of black and white photography myself. I’ve always wanted to immerse myself into it, but the few times I tried to shoot B&W, my stuff came out too contrasty. Well, a photographer over at the Gadling Flickr site, Kouiskas, does a nice job with B&W, as in evidence by this photo of a desert trail.
Simple, but elegant, and a nice blend of contrast and light. It gets our POTD.
