Photo of the Day (1-7-09)

Haven't you had a day that has felt like this? ultraclay, who took this shot in Paris as part of a Honeymoon Set, didn't specify where this statue is located. Regardless, I'm intrigued by contrast between the soft, airy quality of the sky and the despair illustrated by the figure's stance. This photo is one example how to provide interest by the angle you choose. In this case, the statue looms and my emotions feel stirred.

If you have a shot that has stirred you, stir us and send it our way to the Gadling Flickr Photo Pool. It might be chosen as Photo of the Day.

I believe the sculpture is titled "Oh damn, I forgot my pants."

I think I found a new wallpaper. That is awesome.

Thanks for the POTD! This was taken in the Tuileries gardens between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde.
