Photo Of The Day: Buddha On The Beach In Bali

by Jessica Marati on

Now try saying that five times fast.

This Photo of the Day, from Instagram user terra_tripper, features a golden Buddha statue nestled in the sands of Sanur, Bali.

Ostensibly, he’s there to imbue the beach with peace and zen. We just think it makes for a cool picture.

by Chris Owen on

This Photo of the Day, titled “Cidomo – Gili Trawangan,” comes from Gadling Flickr pool member Terra_Tripper and features a cidomo, a small horse-drawn carriage commonly found on the Islands of Lombok and the Gili Islands of Indonesia.

Part of his Bali/Lombok set on Flickr, Richard captions the image:

“By local ordinance, no motorized vehicles are allowed on Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno or Gili Air. Walking, pedal bikes and cidomos are the only transportation. All goods, building materials, food etc is transported by cidomos or humans. Gili Trawangan, Lombok, Indonesia.”

Photo Of The Day: Wine Tasting

by Meg Nesterov on


What makes you enter an unfamiliar shop in a new city? An inviting window display? A big crowd (or lack thereof)? How about a funny sign like this Brooklyn shop, which advertises, “delicious free booze poured by a crazy French guy”? They had me at “delicious” and “free” wine; the French guy is just icing on the cake. It helps that the store looks cozy and friendly; the sign helps to show off their personality.

Photo Of The Day: The Treasury At Petra

by Jessica Marati on

“Indiana Jones would be proud,” wrote Instagram user shuotography in the caption for today’s Photo of the Day. Yes, we think he would. Taken at the Treasury in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan, this photo was enhanced with Instagram’s “Lo-Fi” filter, which adds shadows and makes colors richer. While no one knows for certain, the Treasury, known in Arabic as al-Khazneh, is believed to have been a temple or royal tomb. Definitely Indiana-esque.Do you have any great adventure travel photos?

Photo Of The Day: B Train, New York City

by Anna Brones on

Routine experiences like commuting take on a new meaning when we travel. There’s a thrill to taking the New York City Subway or the Paris Metro when it’s not part of our everyday; a sense of the exotic in the midst of the mundane.

Flickr user Mike GL captures just that in this shot of the B Train in New York City. He manages to get both the movement of the train and the still feeling of the passengers waiting for the next one to arrive.
