Photo of the day (3.31.09)
I just can't resist a good tilt shift photo, and Foraggio Fotographic's is no exception. On my temporary hiatus from normal Gadling duties, this week I'm wandering through New Zealand, and today finds me in the great North Island city of Wellington.
A relatively small city of only 400,000, Wellington is popular among toursits and locals alike for it's compact, quaint downtown, solid nightlife, excellent food and ease of transportation. Cable cars like this one, for example move through the city and offer excellent views of the Cook Strait.
Have any cool photos you'd like to share with the world? Add them to the Gadling Pool on Flickr and it might be chosen as our Photo of the Day. Make sure you save them under Creative Commons though, otherwise we can't use them!

Wellington is New Zealand's capital city.
There aren't any cable cars on Wellington streets as they were removed in 1964.
The pictured car is one of two which operate on the only remaining track to carry cable cars/funicular carriages and it doesn't run on streets - it's a dedicated steep track which runs from the Lambton Quay in the city up to the botanical gardens.

Are you sure that you're in the right Wellington, Grant? ;-)
