Today’s Photo of the Day of Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo, Japan, at night. comes from Flickr user Marc-André Mireault who captions “The rainbow does not really come fro the bridge itself, but from the colourful boats in front of it!”

Many of us love the window seat when traveling. Even in cramped coach class, you can feel like you have your own little nook with a place to prop up your tiny airline pillow (in case you don’t fly with a SkyRest like Mike Barish) and a great view of the sky and landscape below. But few of us ever get the best window seat, up in the cockpit, where the view is framed by hundreds of tiny lights and controls. Fortunately own resident pilot Kent Wien shared this nighttime arrival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. See more of his beautiful sky photos here.

Regardless of how transportation evolves, sometimes the old ways are still the best ways. New York and London have some of the oldest public transit systems in the world and while they’ve made a few upgrades in the last century, the original tunnels are still in use. Many parts of the world disregard modern vehicles all together, like these men with their drove* of donkeys. Donkeys are cheap to run, easy to park, and make far more interesting sounds than cars, though the clean-up might be less fun. Flickr user fdortort ran into these donkeys in Debark, Ethiopia, far north of Harar where Gadling’s Sean McLachlan spent two months this spring.

This one caught my eye because several contributors to Gadling will be in Vancouver next month for the second annual Travel Blogger’s Exchange, a networking and learning opportunity for new media travel writers. TBEX ’11 is June 11-12, 2011 in Vancouver and hosts Kim Mance and the Galavanting Gals are planning a dynamic and useful lineup of in-depth workshops and sessions.

The Argentine town of Pinamar sits a few hundred miles south of Buenos Aires on the Atlantic Coast. It’s a beach town, bustling in the summer and quiet in the off-season.
Flickr user morrissey captured this image of Pinamar earlier this month. Though summer was long gone by mid-May, this image captures something essential about a warm summer evening, with its rays of sun piercing the tree canopy and pine needles underfoot. As the days get longer and longer in London, I’m wishing I had my own private Pinamar nearby.
Submit your favorite images to the Flickr Gadling Group pool and you might wake up one day to discover that one of them has been chosen as a future Photo of the Day.
