Photo of the Day (6.1.10)

June has finally arrived, which can only mean one thing – the World Cup is just less than two weeks away! When traveling abroad, it’s easy to see that football really is the most widely played sport on Earth; scenes like this one are a familiar occurrence.

This photo was taken by Flickr user pirano, on the steps of the beautiful Sacré Cœur in Montemartre, Paris. I love the beautifully balanced black & white tones and unique perspective that offsets the distinct backdrop of Parisian buildings with photo’s subject.

Photo of the day (01/14/08)

Here is a cool picture of the Dragon Bridge in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The author, pirano, says that according to the legend, the dragons that sit atop the bridge wave their tales when a virgin crosses. Apparently, no wavings have been seen since the bridge was constructed 1901.

Well, that is certainly a legend that will keep the planeloads of drunken British tourists coming! One day, maybe one day, the dragons might just wave.
