I’m intrigued by this photograph of stromatolites, which I’ve just learned are “fossils which show the life processes of cyanobacteria (formerly called blue-green algae).”  Who knew?  This picture was talen by laRuth at Lake Thetis in Western Australia, on what appears to be her honeymoon.  Congratulations, laRuth!

I’m going to go out on a limb here with this one, but is today’s photo of the day exploding with bright, neon florescent colors or what? Talk about eye popping! I’d give anything to stumble upon a little carnival like booth these days after seeing nothing, but fields of what used to a vibrant crop of corn out here in the never ending mid-west. Evan R. does all of us far away from anything of the like a huge favor by taking us there in this photo. There happens to be Amsterdam in November of 2005 and there are several other great shots to be found in his very own flickr pool – uknowthename.

There is something wonderful about the scowl on this women’s face that no amount of traditional red garb could possibly hide.  Titled “Two People from Peru,” this shot comes to us compliments of Bajy.  I hope the woman didn’t beat him too badly after he stole her soul with this photograph.

Instead of letting the photo speak for itself, I’m going to crib the words of Buck Forester, the photographer who contributed this shot to our Gadling Flickr Pool.

“I was kayaking Fuller Lake in the spring and my dogs followed me on the shore, desperately trying to keep an eye on me. They’d rush up in front of me on the shore and wait and just gaze as I paddled by, then run along the shore for another vantage point. I love German Shepherds. I get 92% of my self-esteem from my dogs. They think I’m a god.”

I love it.  Especially the self-esteem comment.  I’m sure Forester gets far more than the remaining 8% from his amazing photography skills.
