Photo of the Day (6-17-09)

One of the most beautiful sites in North Dakota in the summer time is the fields along the highway that are filled with yellow sunflowers. This shot by flicts reminds me of that–plus the warmth, energy and happiness of the season. The angle also turns this one flower into a kaleidoscope of nature.

If you’ve captured and image you’d like to share, add it to Gadling’s Flickr photo pool and it might be chosen as a Photo of the Day.

Today’s Photo of the Day is relevant for several reasons. The shot of the tarmac on the way to Paris was taken by Kent Wien, our resident pilot who is actually currently on layover in the middle of a BOS-CDG-BOS turn.

This week is also the week of the 45th Paris Air Show, the massive biannual event that brings thousands of suppliers, manufacturers and press to Le Bourget for updates on all of the new technology. It’s the biggest air show in the world, and both Kent and Grant will running around collecting data for Gadling. Stay tuned later this week for updates from the show.

Oh, and if you’ve got any cool photos that you’d like to share with the world, add them to the Gadling Pool on Flickr and it might be chosen as our Photo of the Day. Make sure you save them under Creative Commons though, otherwise we can’t use them!

I’m a sucker for the color orange. It’s long been my favorite color because it’s so fiery and bright but also because it’s doesn’t rhyme with any other word in the English language. That hue combined with my next two favorite colors, turquoise and brown, make me smile more than anything else.

Today’s photo comes to us from the Caffeinated Traveller and was taken in an art studio in China. There’s a cool symmetry to it, don’t you think? The round ceramic glass bowls, the angles of the paintbrushes, and the warm colors make a really fine image.

If you have some great travel shots you’d like to share, be sure to upload them to the Gadling pool on Flickr. We might just pick one as our Photo of the Day!

Photo of the Day (6-10-09)

This shot, “Down by the Riverside” by AlphaTangoBravo/ Adam Baker is filled with mini stories in Toulouse, France. The dog is looking to horizons elsewhere, perhaps? Is the girl in the foreground thinking that her book is a pleasurable companion, or does she notice that others are in pairs and want someone to share the pleasure of the day with her?

What mini stories have you captured with your lens? Send them our way at Gadling’s Flickr Photo Pool. It might be chosen as a Photo of the Day.

Photo of the Day (6.6.09)

Take one guess where this photo was shot. Even if you’ve never been there, it’s not too difficult to tell. If you said America, you’re really warm. If you were even more accurate and said BOSTON, you’re right on the money! Maybe the towering blue Hancock building gave it away? Or was it the dark clouds that somehow loom over the city every fall and spring?

Though this photo, which comes to us in high definition from Patrick Powers, doesn’t show it, Beantown is celebrating the end of spring and the beginning of summer. And you know what that means: baseball, the Red Sox, Fenway — and lots of ’em! I was just there last weekend, and while the weather looked like this when I arrived, it was a bright and hot 75 degrees when I left. Ah…. Boston…

If you have some great travel shots you’d like to share, be sure to upload them to the Gadling pool on Flickr. We might just pick one as our Photo of the Day!
