Photo Of The Day: Tower Of The Americas

by Jake Thiewes on

He did it again. After last week’s Riverwalk feature, Flickr member (and Gadling Flickr Pool contributor) Nan Palmero submitted yet another evocative, yet simple photo to the pool. Today’s feature is the Tower Of The Americas in San Antonio, Texas. As the sun starts to set a bit earlier, does your commute home take on a sky like this? Or do you have to get out of town for such vibrant color?

Photo Of The Day: “Working From Home” In Santorini

by Jake Thiewes on

We’ve posted about Greece a fair amount lately. From rare animals to nude beaches, the topics have run the gamut. And today, we feature a more simple focus. Reddit user Andromeda321 is visiting Santorini, Greece for a work-related conference all week. They report daytime highs of 80° and cheap rent for week-long stays. And with a view like this, what’s not to love?

Photo Of The Day: Leaving Denver

by Jake Thiewes on

“Please stow your electronic devices for takeoff.”

Flickr user (and Gadling Flickr Pool member) Peter Rood might have bent that rule just a little bit on his recent departure from Denver, Colorado. The view from Rood’s flight, as it ascended through the stormy skies, is gorgeous.

Photo Of The Day: The ‘Real’ Bellagio

by Jake Thiewes on

We’re not talking about the one in Las Vegas. Today’s featured photo is again sourced from our Gadling Flickr Pool. Flickr Pool member jrodmanjr claims the center of Lake Como, Italy may be “the only place where the tourists outnumber the locals.”

Travel Back Thursday: Washington, D.C. Metro On Opening Day

by Jake Thiewes on

I don’t know about you, but Thursday afternoons are when my weekend plans start to take shape. And tomorrow, after my laptop is shut down and I exchange my button-down for a t-shirt, I’ll be heading in to D.C. for the evening by way of the Metro, alongside countless others. The same scenario will undoubtedly play out in every other major city with a subway-esque train system.

The Washington Metro opened its doors in March of 1976. Today’s photo shows people waiting in line at the Rhode Island Avenue station for a free Metro ride on opening day, March 27. In the near future, Northern Virginia residents will experience another “opening day line” as Metro opens the first phase of the Silver Line route.
