Photo of the day – Walk this way in Malaysia

by Meg Nesterov on


Today’s

Photo of the Day is from Malacca, Malaysia, a nice slice-of-life from Flickr user Don Wright of a local family out on a walk. We’re intrigued right now with Malacca after following the tweets and dispatches of the bloggers at Eating Asia, who are currently eating their way through Malacca. Malaysia is becoming increasingly well-known as a culinary hotspot and with colorful lakma, homemade fruit tarts, and lots of fresh seafood to eat still at bargain prices, it’s sure to become more popular with foodie travelers. Perhaps the little girl above is pointing the way to the next hot restaurant.

Photo of the day – Tasmanian autumn

by Alex Robertson Textor on

Today’s Photo of the Day captures the Tasmanian autumn with this stark, black-and-white image of the road between Hobart and Mount Wellington. The rising steam and the clumps of snow along the roadside speak to a chilly autumn morning, a place one million emotional miles from the impatient anticipation felt by those in the Northern Hemisphere at the end of May.

Check out photographer BaboMike’s Flickr Photostream for more images of Tasmania, as well as galleries of travel snaps of Southeast Asia, Central America, and Europe.

Photo of the day – Carpets of Copan, Honduras

by Meg Nesterov on


If the street above looks a little more colorful than the average road, it’s because the carpet has been rolled out for Semana Santa, or holy week leading up to Easter. The “carpets” are made from colored sawdust and flowers and illustrate the Stations of the Cross. There are many reasons to visit Copan in the western region of Honduras, but the procession that will march down this street on Good Friday morning (April 6 in 2012, if you want to start planning) is a big draw; arrive early to admire the “carpets”. Thanks to Flickr user

Adalberto H Vega for capturing them before they got trampled!

Photo of the day: Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Iceland

by Elizabeth Seward on


The Snaefellsnes Peninsula in Iceland is also referred to as “Iceland in Miniature”, thanks to the large amount of national sights in the area. Sarah Landau, professional lighting designer and photographer, snapped this photo during a recent trip around Iceland’s coast, otherwise known as “Ring Road”. Home of the Snaefellsnes Volcano, the peninsula, at least in part, can be seen from Reykjavik on clear days.

I’ve been prematurely bullet-pointing my tentative Iceland itinerary for years now. Although I haven’t yet planned a trip and although I desperately hope to do so sooner than later, seeing photos like this one is enough to get me through till my next “Iceland” Google Image Search meltdown.
