Photo of the day (12.16.10)

What charmed me about this photo from Thimphu, Bhutan, other than the pleasant colors and lines, was the caption. Flickr user AndreaKW translated the suggestion box's Dzongkha script as literally "thoughts box" and I love the idea, much less pressure than coming up with constructive suggestions. A thoughts box could have notes like "Next time, pack fewer shoes" or "Why don't I ever eat meat on a stick at home?" or even the classic "Help! I'm trapped in a thoughts box!" The possibilities are endless, especially for traveler interaction, like the postcards from strangers project.

Have any photos to leave in our thoughts box? How about adding them to the Gadling group on Flickr? We might just choose one of your shots as our Photo of the Day.
