Photo of the Day: Pomegranates in Jerusalem
Sometimes, the most hidden corners of a city are its most interesting. Take this sliver of Jerusalem's Muslim Quarter, where a small pomegranate stand, a chair, a door, a mirror, some electrical wires, and graffiti compose one of the most visually striking images in ...Photo of the Day: Getting cozy in the snow
Most of our favorite travel memories are from summer: school's out and the days are long, you can hit the beach, sit in a park, or people-watch at a sidewalk cafe. Spring and fall are great shoulder seasons for lower prices and fewer crowds, but winter tends to be ...Photo of the Day: Olives, olives, and more olives
Honestly, have you ever seen olives look so appetizing? This epicurean Photo of the Day was snapped at the Mercado San Miguel in Madrid, a traditional Beaux-Arts food market recently restored and reopened in 2009. Flickr user LadyExpat used a Nikon D90 to capture the ...Video of the Day: Snow on the beach in Split, Croatia
Extreme cold and snow have gripped parts of Europe in ways that the continent has not experienced in years. The images of people struggling to cope with the elements are chilling (no pun intended). Even in Split, Croatia, a coastal town on the Adriatic Sea, snow has ...
Photo of the Day: swimming in Thailand
WAHOO! Doesn't today's photo, by Flickr user halvora, make you want to take a running start and just jump in the water? Taken at a waterfall called Pala-U near the Thai resort town of Hua Hin, I love the image's sense of movement and playfulness, the boy caught mid-leap, ...Photo of the day: Disney silhouette
Images of Disneyworld fall into two categories: personal snaps and images that look like they could be used as marketing collateral. I love this image of the Magic Kingdom's iconic Cinderella Castle towers, taken by Flickr user insEyedout, precisely because it falls into ...Photo of the Day: Falafel, going fast
We at Gadling love street food. Whether it's from an upscale Manhattan cart or from a Chinese cannon, you'll find that some of the most satisfying and authentic local food doesn't come from a restaurant. Today's Photo of the Day by Flickr user micke77023 comes from Cairo, ...Photo of the Day: Monday morning in Ho Chi Minh City
Each morning in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, mobile street vendors brave the city's frenetic traffic to hawk breakfast specialties like banana patties, pho, and other popular Vietnamese street foods. A typical Monday morning scene is captured in today's monochrome Photo ...Video of the Day: Flying People in New York City
Imagine if you could fly. Not in an airplane or a helicopter. I mean, you could fly like Superman. How amazing would it be to soar through cities and observe everyone from above. Well, imagine looking up and seeing three people flying around New York City. That's what ...
Photo of the Day: Snow Covered Coastal Moutains
Flickr member James Wheeler is back with this Photo of the Day from Kitsilano, Vancouver, BC, CA, using a Nikon D5000 and tells us
"Vancouver and the west coast of Canada are known for their rainy winters. So, even though the coastal mountains are snow covered ...Photo of the day: Kauai sky
This Kauai sky is awfully pretty. It doesn't even need the surrounding habitat, which is likely amazingly beautiful, to compel viewers. Vast elongated cotton-candy clouds are location-independent, after all.
Captured by Flickr user matt coats earlier this month, this ...Photo of the day: Playing Chopsticks
If you can think of a movie scene set in a toy store, odds are it's the Chopsticks scene at New York City's FAO Schwarz from Big. Though the movie is now over 20 years old (!), few can resist sliding across the big keyboard and recreating Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia's duet ...Video of the Day: Guam, where America's day begins
Each year, more than a million people visit the Pacific island of Guam, an unincorporated territory of the United States located in Micronesia. This video shows why: breathtaking sunsets, beautiful beaches, fantastic diving, a vibrant tourist district, tropical flora and ...
Video of the Day: Sheer terror on the Slingshot
I hate scary amusement park rides. I understand that some people love roller coasters and loops and sudden plunges into dark caverns, but it's just not for me. You can save your trips to Cedar Point and roller coaster road trips for someone else. Because, quite frankly, ...
Photo of the Day: raining in Tel Aviv
The rainy day colors and textures of Flickr user Better Nothing Than Almost's photo caught my eye today. Taken near Tel Aviv, Israel, the blurry drops of water that cling to the window create an impressionist-like effect on the image. I love the hushed color palette, ...Photo of the Day: Monterosso - CinqueTerre, Italy
Our Photo of the Day comes from flickr member stellarviewer and is an HDR composite image of five D-200 images showing the town of Monterosso in the Cinque Terre section of Italy using a Nikon D200.
Cinque Terre is a rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera in ...Photo of the day: Bright lights of Las Vegas
Las Vegas and bright lights: peas in a pod, lovers on a park bench. They're intertwined, and frankly unimaginable without the other. Flickr user jrodmanjr plays around with this association, capturing some of Las Vegas' less extraordinary lights. He juxtaposes hotel neon ...Photo of the day: Ushuaia in spring
Ushuaia, Argentina is the end of the line. Situated near the tip of South America, Ushuaia is the main departure point for Antarctic cruises. Though technically not the world's southernmost settlement--that honor goes to the tiny town Puerto Williams, Chile--it is ...Photo of the Day: Western skies
There's something indescribably calming about looking over a body of water at sunrise. Flickr user James Wheeler captures this feeling in today's Photo of the Day, taken at 6 a.m. from an old pier in the West Point Grey district of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. ...Video of the Day: An American explains cricket
If you've traveled to any of the Commonwealth nations, you've likely encountered cricket on television or in the newspapers. You may have even gotten stuck in a conversation about it while having no clue what anyone is saying. Heck, you might have even played ...
