Photo of the Day (12-9-09)


This photo titled "Peace" by jrodmanjr, the fellow who took it, is a lovely depiction of an alley away from the hubbub of a city. As he noted, time away from the souks in Dubai, the city with the tallest building in the world, was well needed.

In the comment section, he also gives details about why he framed the shot the way that he did. If he had moved the camera to the right, "the bright clutter, crates, and trinkets ended up to be too much of a distraction. "

As it is, we become the witness to the life of a man who reads in quiet repose.

If you have captured a quiet moment of repose, or any other sort of moment, send it our way at Gadling's Flickr photo pool, It might be chosen as a Photo of the Day
