Judging from my recent POTD picks I’m beginning to think I’m a wee-bit deprived of colorful places. You think? Here I’ve gone and plucked yet another from Evan R.’s best of the best Flickr photo set. This one like the last one seen on Gadling is out of Amsterdam. Something about graffiti covered walls lined with bikes makes me want to hop on one of my own and take off to this friendly, funky Dutch land. Check out the rest of the uknowthename Flickr shots.

Yet another shot from the Amazon basin in Ecuador. This one features some type of butterfly/moth thing with a couple of clearly visible eye-like designs imbedded into the wing design to scare away predators. I’m not sure why this is necessary since this bug is 2-feet long. Ha! Just kidding, folks. Rather impressive shot, nonetheless.

I’ve always liked grasshoppers… so very alien in form, yet so very nostalgic of the summer evenings of my youth spent capturing these long-legged freaks of nature. This particular hopper comes to us compliments of Tom’s recent trip to the Amazon basin in Ecuador. I love the bright greens and the buggy eyes. I still don’t understand, however, how people actually eat these things in certain parts of nature. Ugh.

Well, even though Neil tried to forecast the end of days, the Apocalypse, the Rapture and all other manifestations of the last curtain for mankind, we’re still standing. Personally, a little apocalypse might be nice. Might shake things up a bit and get people out of their complacency. But whatever. Here we are, alive to spend another day on Earth. Well, I did some searching around on Flickr for a photo that said apocalypse, and lo, I found one. It may not say “fire and brimstone”, but it’s still a decent photo. And if you imagine what the end of days might look like from a distance, well, I suppose the sky might be lit like that. Anyway, Happy Apocalypse.

Gadling Flickr contributor hmorsi has posted a most remarkable photo of a series of camels ambling through Dubai. He even caught them doing so during a lovely sunset.
