Big Loggie’s Missus makes a Gadling POTD debut with this rather simple shot of the penthouse she stayed in while visiting Yerevan, Armenia just recently. Sure it’s just a snap of an old, tattered building, but it’s certainly not the kind of scene found in my neck of the world. What’s also cool about this one is the red and yellow checkered cloth hanging from a window up above. It’s hard for me to place my attention anywhere else. I find myself wanting to know more about the tenants of that particular apartment or what the road below looks like. Sometimes it’s nice to have a little left for the imagination.

This Sandy Lightfoot crab in all its glorious colors comes to us today from Nate. Taken while visiting the Galapagos Islands, the picture is unaltered by Photoshop; these are indeed the crab’s natural colors. Is it just me, or doesn’t that little bugger have a slightly guilty look on its face?

There is something about big chunks of animal hanging from meat hooks that really drives home the point that you’re no longer at home anymore. Today’s photo comes to us from Tom Taylor’s recent trip to Ecuador where he stopped to pick up a few supplies at the Saturday market in Zumbahua. A big, bloody animal head was not one of them.

Don’t confuse this photo called “Sun setting over the great lake” with the other great lake that you know. The one in Utah. This shot comes from laurenz and is a lovely shot of Tozeur, Tunisia. I was almost tempted to hark back to the Apocalypse photo, since this has such a fire and brimstone feel to it. But hey, I won’t go that far.

I’m departing a bit from Gadling protocol to take a photo from a place other than the Gadling Flickr group. Further, I’m actually posting a photo that’s not entirely travel-related. But I just thought it was such a lovely, cool photo, I had to do it.
The shot comes from NASA, of all places, and is a shot of the Moon Over Haleakala. There’s a handy explanation of the photo by an astronomer below, also worth reading.
