Photo of the Day 2-24-2008

One of the best things about traveling is seeing items and situations that seem completely foreign to you -- like a pile of strange-looking fish for sale, for example. Pirano snapped this photo in Split, Croatia. No word on whether he/she made a purchase.
Capture any seemingly strange scenes from your last trip? Upload them to Gadling's Flickr pool and we'll consider them for our Photo of the Day feature.

These "strange" fish are Ballyhoo . . . normally
used for bait when deep sea trolling. Very normal
here in Florida. BikerDave

I've seen those fish for sale in Croatia. They're all over the place. It makes me want to go back. I'm American, but spent several months in Croatia while doing a working/traveling life some years ago. It's a beautiful country, with lovely people and an amazing history. Go see the fish up close and personal if you can. Croatia is the best kept secret of the Mediterranean.

'Igla' is the name of this strange fish on Croatian language. Well, this fish is not so strange in Adriatic sea. :) 'Igla' means 'Needle'. If you are searching for accommodation in Croatia try this great website www.traveladriatic.net
