Preparing your own meals while on the road can be tough. You don’t always have a proper kitchen stocked with all of the tools and appliances that you need. Ingredients can be difficult to find. Still, at least we always have gravity to help us out. Not so for astronauts. When it’s dinner time, they have to assemble their tacos in zero gravity. The last thing that anybody wants is refried beans in the ventilation system. Think of this guy and his space taco the next time you want to complain that the kitchen in your RV is too cramped.
Photo of the Day – Sicilian man
This elegant gentleman was captured in Sicily by Flickr user TravelSeminar. The weathered creases that line his face, the pulled back curtains and shy grin all suggest a moment of welcome and openness. It’s the perfect visual accompaniment to a brand new year – take it as an invitation to get your own travel plans off to a great start. Here’s wishing you all the best in 2012!
Have any great travel shots of your own? Why not add them to our Gadling group on Flickr? We might just pick one of yours as our Photo of the Day.
Photo of the Day: Kawartha Canoes
Flickr member James Wheeler brings us this photo taken Nipissing, Ontario, CA, using a Nikon D5000.
James tells us “Three Kawartha canoes make for a good photo on the shore of Spectacle lake on the east side of Algonquin park.”
Upload your best shots to the Gadling Group Pool on Flickr. Several times a week we choose our favorite images from the pool as Photos of the Day.
Photo of the day – Winter branches
Today’s Photo of the Day captures a mess of winter branches spread across a gray sky like competing capillary systems. Winter officially began in the Northern Hemisphere on December 22. There’s no nice way to say it. Winter is here, and the leaves have been gone for some time.
Unlike most Photos of the Day, this one was uploaded without any information provided as to the shot’s location. Its photographer, Flickr user femme_fm, lives in Zagreb, so we’ll imagine that this image was snapped in the Croatian capital, where it is, no surprise, currently freezing.
Upload your favorite seasonal images to the Gadling Group Pool over at Flickr. We’re always looking for season-attuned photographs to be featured as future Photos of the Day.
Photo of the day – Feeding the fish
Visitors to India know that cows are considered holy and not to be eaten, but in some parts of the southern state of Karnataka, you can cross fish off the menu too. The fish at the Sringeri temple on the banks of the Tunga River are also considered sacred and fishing is banned, though pilgrims and visitors can feed the fish puffed rice. As photographer and Flickr user PointingandShooting notes, all that food can make for some enormous fish!
Make it a New Year’s resolution to add your photos to the Gadling Flickr Pool; you could be the next Photo of the Day.
