This photo really sums up so much of the former Soviet Empire for me. No matter where I traveled, even within big cities like Moscow, I’d inevitably come across some poor farmer’s Volga or Niva stuff to the brim with onions, melons, potatoes, or in this case, cabbage.
Our friend carpetblogger, who contributed this photo to our Flickr Gadling pool, doesn’t mention where it was taken, but judging by the AZ on the license plate, I’m going to have to guess Azerbaijan.
Yesterday, I did a post featuring China’s bid for the largest ferris wheel in the world — so clearly, today, when it came to picking the photo of the day, I couldn’t resist this photo taken at the top of the London Eye. I particularly like the fact that the photographer, bamassippi, shot it in black-and-white — after all, London’s famous for its grey skies, isn’t it?

I love this photo taken by LeeLeFever in Sri Lanka — the blur of the background as the car he’s riding in speeds past, the smiles on the children, the protective way the older girl holds the shoulders of her little brother. It reminds me of countless similar scenes here in Trinidad.

We go to one of my favorite countries in the world for today’s POTD. This shot by LeeLeFever_TwinF of a little girl standing in front of a sumptuously designed door in Jaipur India brought back a flood of memories from my own relatively recent trip to India. Pics like this can just take themselves, but I really liked the shot a lot.
Remember our friends Lee and Sachi over from TWINF? They set off to see the world through the world’s experiences and clearly it seems they’ve been having a good time. Seeing how Lee has taken a moment to upload some of his pretty, well, amazing shots from places like Sri Lanka, Thailand and India into our Gadling Flickr pool in the middle of their great big adventures tells me they haven’t forgotten about us here at Gadling. This shot of a young girl at the Amber Fort in Jaipur, India just grabs me. I can only imagine what’s beyond and outside that window.
