This photo by Flickr user jwannie is entitled "How to build a salad tower." The bright oranges and yellows caught my eye when I fist saw the thumbnail and that's why I clicked on the image. As for what a salad tower is and why it's so comical, I defer to the accompanying ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

When I picture "wine country" in my head, this is exactly the sort of idyllic vista that comes to mind. Which is exactly why I chose this shot from jrodmanjr, taken in Sonoma County, CA. The artfully arranged wine barrels, the rustic villa and the sloping vineyards covered in grape vines all combine to create a rather majestic view, don't they?
Have any great travel photos you'd like to share with the world? Why not add them to the Gadling pool on Flickr? We might pick one of yours as our Photo of the Day.

For some reason, a picture that isn't formatted in the typical 3:2 semi-rectangle shape is more eye catching. This wide view taken by arex of a crashing wave in California, complete with a little vignette (darkening of the edges) is eye catching enough to make our photo ...Photo of the Day 3.17.10
Yes, I could have picked a pint of Guinness or featured an Irish pub to honor St. Patrick's Day. Instead, I went with a photo that stands out among the usual sea of green.
Today's photo of the day, titled "Show-off", is brought to us by jrodmanjr. It's true that not every ...Photo of the Day (3.16.10)
Today's photo of the day comes all the way from Petulu, Bali! Captured by user mikeyu1402, the photo was taken at an Elephant Safari Park on the popular Indonesian island. The post-processing of the image really makes the texture of the elephant's skin stand out and ...Photo of the Day (3.14.2010)
I've seen plenty of bland photos of Cambodia's famous Angkor Wat temple complex. Enough to know today's choice, by Flickr user mick62, is anything but. The close-up details of the exotic dancer, the wonderful sense of movement and grainy "reportage" quality to the image ...Photo of the Day (03.13.10)

Whimsy. People don't talk about whimsy much when discussing travel. They talk about philosophy, introspection, packing lists and logistics. They talk about food and hotels and TSA horror stories and airport ...Photo of the day (3.11.10)
The wildlife photography of Max Waugh, a.k.a. Fiznatty on Flickr has been featured on Gadling probably more than any other user. And I just couldn't pass up this one.
Max describes a Costa Rican beach:
The mouth of the Sirena River in Corcovado National Park has a ...Photo of the Day 3.10.10
There's more to Washington, DC, than politicians and lobbyists, although I'm sure Cazimiro captured some of them in this photo. This black and white moment captures the essence of our nation's capitol on a typical night - cars and pedestrians share the street with the glow ...Photo of the Day (3.9.10)
Take a closer look. Go on - click the image! Is it a miniature train set? Photoshop trickery? Not quite. Today's Photo of the Day is from Flickr user dileeps, who managed to take this shot of Sienna using a tilt-shift lens.
Tilt-shift lenses have the ability to tilt ...Photo of the Day (3.7.2010)
Only when we take a step back from our travels do we begin to see the bigger picture. Those moments where you slow down, take a deep breath and allow your senses to take in the rich sensory experience of traveling. Flickr user Many Moon Honeymoon has the right idea with ...Photo of the Day (03.06.10)
I'm one of those people who believes that it's OK to pee in the ocean. And in lakes. And pools. Basically, bodies of water bigger than my bathtub are fair game for urination. But, I'm always worried that pools will have that dye that activates when urine is introduced ...Photo of the Day (3.5.2010)
This photo (click to enlarge) from Flickr user chris_nevins shows a plane being de-iced on a cold morning in Salt Lake City. It's easy to forget all the things that must happen behind the scenes in order to keep our flights safe, smooth, and on time. Fortunately there are ...Photo of the day (3.04.10)
Today's photo of the day comes from RuthannOC while traveling through New Zealand. Ruthann has a thing for road shots and this one just may be her best. By setting the camera right on the white line, she's added some 'interestingness' to the beautiful landscape.

Today's Photo of the Day comes from Flickr user twoeightnine. Taken just north of San Simeon, California, this great landscape shot captures the beautiful combination of mist, pines, and rocky coastline that Northern California is famous for.

For anyone with an urge to travel, Bhutan is one of those last great "untouched" destinations we all dream of visiting. A majestic kingdom of towering mountains, holy Buddhist retreats and smiling friendly locals. Flickr user sylhoo was lucky enough to visit Bhutan, ...Photo of the Day (02.27.10)
How far do you drive when you suspect that you've made a wrong turn? Do you base it on time or distance? In other words, are you more likely to say, "Hey, let's just give it 10 more minutes," or, "I think it's just another two miles after this sign?" I tend to go by ...Photo of the day (2.25.10)
Today's photo of the day comes from Many Moon Honeymoon who stumbled upon a natural "infinity pool."
He explains:
Tat Kuang Si waterfall is about 32km outside Luang Prabang in Laos. After taking this photograph, I went for a swim. The edge of the pool, where water ...Photo of the Day (2.23.10)
Today's Photo of the Day is a dramatic shot from Flickr user driftingfocus. Beyond the lighting, stark contrast, and simplicity of the image, I find that the emotion captured on this performer's face is very moving; the mark of a well timed shot. The photo's caption ...Photo of the Day (2.21.2010)
Check out this stunning reflection shot of the Taj Mahal, brought to us by Photo of the Day regular, jrodmanjr. There's just so much good stuff going on here, it's hard to know where to start - the clusters of people, faded colors and the wonderful lighting all help to ...Photo of the Day (02.20.10)
Carpooling is a great way to get to know your coworkers, save money and help the environment. A common concern amongst people who ride-share is that they hate being cramped in the car. Sure, the lack of legroom and sheer number of elbows poking your torso can make for an ...
