Photo of the day (8.12.2010)


We're in the dog days of summer, with hot temperatures and high levels of humidity making it hard to do more than eat ice cream, seek air conditioning, and think of fall weather. While there's less than a month left in summer, and pretty soon we'll be complaining about winter, the sticky August heat can feel downright oppressive.

That's why this photo by Flickr user t3mujin taken in Lisbon, Portugal looks so inviting. The cool colors, hazy sky and water below provides some virtual heat relief. It's tempting to jump right off the dock or at least enjoy the breeze alongside the fishermen.

Do you have a refreshing travel photo? Upload it to Gadling's Flickr group and we might use it for a future Photo of the Day.
