This juxtaposition of images in Andrey Dorokhov's shot taken in Glasgow, Scotland is one that attests to the importance of having a terrific eye--and being at the right angle at the right moment. The interplay between light and shadow also adds interest and texture. The ...

As the sun sets over Gadling and our "Wild West" day, I couldn't let the day go by without featuring this beautiful shot shared by xphaqtor in our Gadling Flickr pool. Nothing like a sunset, the Colorado scenery and a hardened cowboy to close a day on the range, is ...

Nothing makes a more beautiful photo than rolling sand dunes at sunset. Having recently experienced the tranquil oasis of Huacachina in Peru, I now fully appreciate the dry, natural beauty of the world's deserts.
This particular photo was taken in Tunisia but expert ...

Is there a better National Park in the United States than Yellowstone? This shot from flickr user SenzEnina makes the case that, no, there isn't. With wildlife like wolves, bears, mountain goats, and, of course, bison, as well as hundreds of geysers and hot springs, ...

Floyd Dean (fdean55) has some amazing pictures that just begged to be shared here with our Gadling readers. This beam of light shining through a cave at Antelope Canyon in Arizona really caught my eye. It's as if someone installed a Solatube on the roof of this place. ...

On the other end of the badass animal spectrum that Annie described on Monday for is the cow. The happy guy in this bucolic scene was snapped by Bernard-SD in Big Sur, California. If cows in Ohio, where I live, could see where this one munches, they'd be jealous. What a ...

While I usually prefer photographs that feature subjects at close distance in great detail, I'm fascinated by the aesthetic quality of this photo by Michael Goldstein. Bright winter light and dramatic shadows frame the worn inscriptions well, with the composition anchored ...

As we close today's "Wild America" theme, I couldn't resist sharing this great shot of American buffalo shot and shared by JasonBechtel. The image was captured at The Wilds, a wildlife conservation area in southern Ohio. True personification of "home on the range," I ...

Anyone looking for a taste Caribbean colonial charm should head for Puerto Rico's Old San Juan. It's an area with loads of atmosphere - brightly colored pastel mansions, cobblestone streets, and a surprising street art scene. I particularly liked the bold colors and ...

I wanted to find a good shot of clouds for today's photo, and I think this one reflects my mood perfectly. Clouds, to me, are good metaphors for life, and these clouds represent for me the beauty of life, the end of the day, and the dawning of a new day. When traveling ...

I've always wanted to visit Costa Rica. And it's not just because I want to stay in the Boeing 727 hotel. The incredibly talented Fdean55 (this guy is a real pro) captured a taste of Costa Rica with this shot of two dolphins basking in the sun near Golfito. Think you can ...

A close-up view of a building's features is one way to show it off its beauty This Buddhist temple's door is a perfect example. LadyExpat, who took this photo in Daejeon, South Korea, moved in for an intimate look so that the textures and nuances of the blue paint, the ...

You've probably noticed a lot of talk today about GPS systems, so I couldn't resist sharing this image placed in the Gadling Flickr pool by rkzerok. He says: "My GPS shows about 50 higher than the marker on Mauna Kea." Awesome. If you've got some great travel shots you'd ...

I'm feeling particularly ethereal today, and Flickr user cmvoekel's photo at the Tate Modern in London does a good job of capturing my mood. The geometric patterns of light, the shadows and the silhouettes of the people all suggest a scene that looks downright ...

Believe it or not, our Photo of the Day was taken in Kentucky -- at Mammoth Caves, to be exact. As Gadling photographer Peter Rivera explains, "A blast of arctic air flows up from the blackness. you go down concrete steps, lower and lower until the sunny August trees are ...

I love how this shot from flickr user cmvoelkel is split into thirds by the tower of the Manhattan Bridge and the apparently happy couple. It also appears to be in black and white until you look outside the puddle and see the color on the couple's shoes. Taken in the DUMBO ...

Today's photo of the day is of Flagship Detroit, a fully restored DC-3 that's operated and maintained by current and former American Airlines employees. This crisp black and white shot was taken by Flickr user CaptBrando. Two years ago I had my own DC-3 adventure as my dad ...

I wonder if when this house was first built near Brockville, Ontario Canada, the owners realized that their home would be photographed one day as a perfect version of a haunted house. That's exactly what Bryson Gilbert did when he snapped this photo earlier this year. With ...

Today's Photo of the Day comes from longtime contributor Alpha Tango Bravo (aka Adam Baker). I consider great portrait photos to be ones that share the personality and character of the subject - even if they happen to be complete strangers in a foreign land. Baker ...

Kent, you picked up good one picture. I am also a Flickr user. One of my friends too good in photography that no one believe that he clicked some of the best pictures of Flickr.
