I’ve always been
obsessed with people watching especially in places where people tend to lose themselves. Places like foreign
discoteques where music and the human body move fluidly as one through foggy surroundings and the mind hopes to one day
register and make sense of the dream. That’s the feeling I get from studying the party-goers in this unknown location in Brazil taken by Evan R. The photographer, also known
as uknowthename, has one of the most incredible travel-related Flickr
photo streams out there. I chose this one mostly because I’ve been dying to go do some dancing myself, but for now I’m
stuck indoors with my samba/techno infused sounds to float only from my laptop.

This shot could have been taken anywhere. Oh
boy, a bunch of rocks! Yet, it is the vivid purple color which really jumps out and arrests the eyes.
I’m not sure why the rocks are this color, and today’s photographer trentstrohm doesn’t know either, but I think it’s a
much better world when nature dabbles in such odd hues. Because otherwise, they’d just be a pile of
rocks. In Ireland. And, nothing more.

Wow, so this is where my Canola oil comes from? So beautiful and yet so fry-licious! This wonderful shot of Canola fields comes to us via
our Gadling Flickr pool and is the handiwork of one RedHQ.
I’ll bet you didn’t know that Canola oil comes from an improved rapeseed plant selectively bred by our
good friends, the Canadians. That’s why it’s called Canola—Canadian
Oil Low Acid. I guess adding the word “oil” to
Canola oil is therefore redundant.

I
love caves — there are several on an island just offshore of my homeland of Trinidad — so I couldn’t resist posting
this one of the Skocjan Caves in Slovenia. Besides, the photographer, trentstrohm, says the shot was taken illegally, since photography
isn’t allowed in the caves. For that alone he deserves to have this be the photo of the day, don’t you think?
If you’d like one of your travel photos to be featured in our Image of the Day, be sure to visit our Flickr Pool, and upload your best shots there. Every day we’ll
pick one to be featured here on Gadling. Thanks!

We go to one of our favorite Flickr contributors localsurfer today for our photo of the day. This marvelous shot of
the St Helena’s Church on Lundy Island is a real beaut. The light on the church constrasts nicely with the gloomy, but
intense sky behind. It is also nicely composed, and looks like somethiing we might find on a travel brochure.
