Photo of the day – Malta kiosk

by Alex Robertson Textor on

Two Gadling contributing writers are currently planning travel to Malta, so it’s no surprise that the small Mediterranean island republic is on the brain. And it’s also no surprise that, among the many striking images featured on Flickr’s Gadling Group pool pages, my eye was drawn to Flickr user Kumukulanui‘s photograph of this kiosk in St. Julian’s, Malta. This image exudes a rich sense of summer with its blue night sky and atmosphere of relaxed leisure.

Submit your favorite photos to the Gadling Group pool on Flickr. If you’re lucky, we might just pick one of your images to be a future Photo of the Day.

Photo of the day – I break for tanks

by Meg Nesterov on


Road signs are designed to be universal so that anywhere in the world drivers can be aware of local driving rules and potential hazards. Yet this sign in South Korea isn’t something you’ll see on most roads, setting the speed limit for trucks as well as tanks at 20 kilometers per hour. Flickr user BaboMike guesses it’s a remnant from the war, as tank traffic isn’t so common these days.

Seen any unusual signs on the road? Add your photos to the Gadling Flickr pool and we may use it for a future Photo of the Day.

Photo of the day – Picnic in Taiwan

by Alex Robertson Textor on

In the mood for a picnic in Taiwan? Flickr user Pamcy.com sure is. She snapped this image of a small picnic in the north of Taiwan late last month. The views are striking even with the lingering haze across the horizon. The grass looks comfortable, too. Is it time for a nap?

Got an image of a fun summer activity you’re dying to share with a wider audience? Go ahead and upload it to the Gadling Group pool on Flickr. If we dig it we might choose it as a future Photo of the Day.

Photo of the day: German toilets

by Alex Robertson Textor on

Sometimes, truth be told, it’s the facilities that matter most. The German toilets sign captured here by Flickr user Taylor McConnell in Bingen am Rhein has surely come as a symbol of utter and complete relief to any number of passers-by, perhaps especially to those who might have gone a bit crazy with their lemonade or beer quaffing earlier.

We like signs and we like featuring images of signs as Photos of the Day. Do you have an image of a great sign somewhere? Yes? We thought so. Upload it to the Gadling Group pool on Flickr. If we dig it, we might just select it to be a future Photo of the Day.

Photo of the day: behold the power of Cadbury chocolate

by Meg Nesterov on


Depending on which side of the pond you hail from, you probably have a strong opinion on which Cadbury chocolate is superior. Americans live for the season when the Cadbury Creme Egg (now actually made by Hershey) is available to provide way more sugar in one sitting than is advisable, while Brits find the Yankee versions of their confectionary too sweet and consider the simple Dairy Milk bar to be perfection. Flickr user andreakw has introduced a third contender: Cadbury Australia, which offers a fairly dazzling array of flavors, from white chocolate (I personally find it an affront to chocolate, but others love it) to Turkish delight. Any Aussies want to compare their Cadbury to the American or British varieties?

Upload your chocolate or other sweet travel pix to the Gadling Flickr pool and we may use one for a future Photo of the Day.
