Photo of the Day (4/17/06)

by Karen Walrond on


I’ve mentioned before my love of European
cities at night — and this photograph of the canals of Amsterdam, taken by Fred Hsu, illustrates my point beautifully.  I love how the
stillness of the water reflects the lights of the buildings above — the bridge from which the photo was taken looks
like a very romantic place, indeed.

With Easter weekend
here the snow begins to thaw a little and even disappear in most places. I’m not sure if such is the case in this
amazing panorama taken by Alby in Urumqi, China, but it was too beautiful to pass up. The red
lanterns look almost as if they are popping off the photo, bursting away from the freezing snow.  Everything from
the person in red strolling towards the lifeless brown tree to the temple to the right makes this a stellar photograph.

I’m always a big sucker for aerial views of circular staircases; they tend to be deceptively simple shots,
yet they carry so much punch.  I found this one by bamassippi particularly alluring.  I’m not sure where it was
taken, but I know if I was there, I’d be leaning over the handrails doing the same thing. 

By the way, if you have any great shots you’d like considered for our Photo of the Day feature, please visit

Photo of the Day (4/13/06) Northern Lights

by Neil Woodburn on

Although I’ve never witnessed it, the Northern Lights are something which has mesmerized me for most of my
life.  I’ve posted recently
about it here on Gadling, but felt that the photo which accompanied the post probably didn’t do it justice. 
Well, along comes localsurfer with this fantastic shot from Norway.  He used
a long exposure to capture the whispy green lights and admits that it was very hard to stand still in the chilly
weather long enough for the aperture to click.  Well, I think you’ll agree that any cold he may have come
down with as result was definitely worth it.

Today’s photo of the day was uploaded by sendeuros, and
is a shot of the water temple in Bali, Indonesia.  I how this shot conveys peace — though the stillness of the
water, and the heaviness of the clouds — in contrast to the startling colours of the flowers in the foreground really
beautiful.
