Photo of the Day - Hong Kong Junk

I don't know that any city in the world can match the sheer "wow" factor of Hong Kong's harbor. The city's massive skyscrapers sit precariously perched on the lips of mountainous islands, always looking as if they're about to fall into the sea. There's probably no better way to take in the incredible view of this marvelous city than from the confines of a boat, particularly aboard a line like the Star Ferry. Flickr user wesleyrosenblum provides us with a fine example what the view from a Hong Kong boat ride might look like. In front of you is ancient Chinese Junk, its bright red mast floating in the breeze. Behind, Hong Kong Island aglow at twilight, a shimmering sea below and a sky of dusty orange and soft blue above. Perfect.

Taken any great travel photos of your own? Why not add them to our Gadling group on Flickr? We might just pick one of yours as our Photo of the Day.
