Today's photo of the day comes from San Francisco based photographer, kellinasf. I love this photo because it's the conventional image of a beautiful landscape, and as one Flickr user comments, "looks like an image one would find in a children's story". The photo was ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Whenever I travel, I always come back with a few door pictures. I don't know what it is about doors that I find so fascinating. I would get into some metaphysical thing about spaces behind closed doors, but I will spare you.
This is a photo by tysonwilliams, taken in Buenos Aires. I like the kitschy yellow job on the door. I never know how these things are done. Do you first make the photo black & white, then color the door yellow? Or, do you start with a color photo and make everything--but for the door--black & white?

The last time I visited Las Vegas, I was 12 years old, and with my parents (you can imagine what a great time that was, both for my kid-saddled parents and me). Though I've never thought much about returning for myself, my English husband has never been, and I've always ...Photo of the Day (11.22.09)
Today's photo comes to us from Flickr user SuBho_Photography, who caught this vibrant, dynamic shot. Though the photo doesn't say where it was taken, I picture the scene somewhere along the Ganges in India. I particularly like the sense of movement and rich colors: the arc ...Photo of the Day (11.21.09)
Seeing as the Leonids meteor shower gave some of us a show earlier this week, it seems fitting to pay homage to the night sky this weekend. I love this photo in particular because it proves that the world still turns and time passes ever so consistently from one second, ...Photo of the Day (11-17-09)
This juxtaposition of images in Andrey Dorokhov's shot taken in Glasgow, Scotland is one that attests to the importance of having a terrific eye--and being at the right angle at the right moment. The interplay between light and shadow also adds interest and texture. The ...Photo of the day 11.16.09
As the sun sets over Gadling and our "Wild West" day, I couldn't let the day go by without featuring this beautiful shot shared by xphaqtor in our Gadling Flickr pool. Nothing like a sunset, the Colorado scenery and a hardened cowboy to close a day on the range, is ...Photo of the Day (11.14.09)
Nothing makes a more beautiful photo than rolling sand dunes at sunset. Having recently experienced the tranquil oasis of Huacachina in Peru, I now fully appreciate the dry, natural beauty of the world's deserts.
This particular photo was taken in Tunisia but expert ...Photo of the Day (11.13.09)
Is there a better National Park in the United States than Yellowstone? This shot from flickr user SenzEnina makes the case that, no, there isn't. With wildlife like wolves, bears, mountain goats, and, of course, bison, as well as hundreds of geysers and hot springs, ...Photo of the day (11-12-09)
Floyd Dean (fdean55) has some amazing pictures that just begged to be shared here with our Gadling readers. This beam of light shining through a cave at Antelope Canyon in Arizona really caught my eye. It's as if someone installed a Solatube on the roof of this place. ...Photo of the Day (11-11-09)
On the other end of the badass animal spectrum that Annie described on Monday for is the cow. The happy guy in this bucolic scene was snapped by Bernard-SD in Big Sur, California. If cows in Ohio, where I live, could see where this one munches, they'd be jealous. What a ...Photo of the Day (11.10.09)
While I usually prefer photographs that feature subjects at close distance in great detail, I'm fascinated by the aesthetic quality of this photo by Michael Goldstein. Bright winter light and dramatic shadows frame the worn inscriptions well, with the composition anchored ...Photo of the day 11.09.09
As we close today's "Wild America" theme, I couldn't resist sharing this great shot of American buffalo shot and shared by JasonBechtel. The image was captured at The Wilds, a wildlife conservation area in southern Ohio. True personification of "home on the range," I ...Photo of the Day (11.8.09)
Anyone looking for a taste Caribbean colonial charm should head for Puerto Rico's Old San Juan. It's an area with loads of atmosphere - brightly colored pastel mansions, cobblestone streets, and a surprising street art scene. I particularly liked the bold colors and ...Photo of the Day (11.7.09)
I wanted to find a good shot of clouds for today's photo, and I think this one reflects my mood perfectly. Clouds, to me, are good metaphors for life, and these clouds represent for me the beauty of life, the end of the day, and the dawning of a new day. When traveling ...Photo of the day (11-5-09)
I've always wanted to visit Costa Rica. And it's not just because I want to stay in the Boeing 727 hotel. The incredibly talented Fdean55 (this guy is a real pro) captured a taste of Costa Rica with this shot of two dolphins basking in the sun near Golfito. Think you can ...Photo of the Day (11-4-09)
A close-up view of a building's features is one way to show it off its beauty This Buddhist temple's door is a perfect example. LadyExpat, who took this photo in Daejeon, South Korea, moved in for an intimate look so that the textures and nuances of the blue paint, the ...Photo of the Day (11.3.09)
"Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity" - Charles MingusThere's a certain beauty in simplicity, even in regard to photography. I find this photo by lecercle to be a great example of taking simple ...Photo of the day 11.02.09
You've probably noticed a lot of talk today about GPS systems, so I couldn't resist sharing this image placed in the Gadling Flickr pool by rkzerok. He says: "My GPS shows about 50 higher than the marker on Mauna Kea." Awesome. If you've got some great travel shots you'd ...Photo of the Day (11.1.09)
I'm feeling particularly ethereal today, and Flickr user cmvoekel's photo at the Tate Modern in London does a good job of capturing my mood. The geometric patterns of light, the shadows and the silhouettes of the people all suggest a scene that looks downright ...Photo of the Day (10.31.09)
Believe it or not, our Photo of the Day was taken in Kentucky -- at Mammoth Caves, to be exact. As Gadling photographer Peter Rivera explains, "A blast of arctic air flows up from the blackness. you go down concrete steps, lower and lower until the sunny August trees are ...

Thanks for featuring my photo today. This is a color photograph I took in La Boca area of Buenos Aires and madee everything - but for the yellow door - black & white using software.

my Canon SD1000 camera has a function to highlight only one color when you take the picture...i haven't played with it much but it will give you a similar effect up front.

I really love this photo! The old building makes a great black and white picture in itself, but that touch of yellow really adds to it. I haven't been able to do that - I don't have photoshop or any other good software to do it. I wish I could! This is really a favorite!!
