Photo of the Day (2.7.09)


I've been to Alaska twice and not once did I see the northern lights. Maybe it was the wrong season or maybe I wasn't looking hard enough, but I'm sure when I do see them (and I will) I won't forget the sight.

That's what one of our dedicated and intrepid adventuring photographers, localsurfer, discovered on a trip to Norway four years ago. He writes, "It's impossible to really take a picture of what the lights look like. This was like a pulsing river of light from horizon to horizon."

The eerie green color reflecting off the water and the purple-brown night sky are nature's way of saying what human words cannot.

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!
