Photo of the Day

Photo of the Day (9.07.10)

Photo of the Day (9.07.10) Shorter days, changing leaves and crisp cold air -- all the hallmarks of a changing season. This photo from Flickr user Bonnie Bowne epitomizes the shift from summer blues and greens to autumn golds. Have any travel photos that make amazing memories? Upload them to ...

Photo of the Day (9.7.10)

Photo of the Day (9.7.10) If you're back to the grind and Labor Day is feeling too far away already, then take a moment to check out this beautiful photo series by Italian photographer, il lele. The set spans a road trip from Chicago to Vegas on two-lane highways, capturing some classic ...

Photo of the Day (09.06.10)

Photo of the Day (09.06.10) Seeing as it's Labor Day, it seemed fitting to find a photo that paid tribute to the men and women all over the world who work their tails off. When we travel, we so often take countless photos of fisherman, cooks and other people who toil in conditions ranging from ...

Photo of the Day (9.4.2010)

Photo of the Day (9.4.2010) One of my all-time favorite things in the whole world is riding second class buses in foreign countries. Though I could probably now afford to travel on a bigger budget than in my early 20s, I prefer the experiences of public transportation. It's not just mingling with ...

Photo of the day (9.2.10)

Photo of the day (9.2.10) Each year around American Labor Day, the elaborate costumes and street partying associated with pre-Lenten Mardi Gras or Carnival celebrations are taken outside in several cities too cold to parade in February. Brooklyn's West Indian Day Parade is one of the largest in the ...

Photo of the Day (9.1.10)

Photo of the Day (9.1.10) You can schedule yourself into oblivion when you travel and tick off every major sightseeing spot in your guide, but sometimes it's the quiet moments that are the most memorable. This tranquil scene of Florence at dusk -- shot by Flickr user Justin Delaney -- reminds me ...

Photo of the Day (8.31.10)

Photo of the Day (8.31.10) I think that the best travel photography is the kind that captures a unique instance of the human experience and opens it up for further discussion. It intrigues the viewer to ask questions, to delve deeper and to examine the unfamiliar. It refuses to let you look away or ...

Photo of the Day (08.30.10)

Photo of the Day (08.30.10) One of the hang-ups I used to have was eating alone. I thought it was sad. Eventually, however, I realized that there's one meal in particular that is really pretty wonderful when enjoyed with nothing more than your food and a newspaper: breakfast. Sure, you can slurp ...

Photo of the Day (8.29.10)

Photo of the Day (8.29.10) You never know what you'll find when you wander. An unexpected conversation. A strange sight. Maybe you'll even stumble upon a pink street, like Flickr user Michael Joseph Goldst...etc found in today's photo from Bogota, Colombia. The bright pastel walls pocked with ...

Photo of the Day (8.28.2010)

Photo of the Day (8.28.2010) A peaceful and powerful scene from Orkney Island, Scotland. When I look at these rocks and think about how long they've been there, I picture them with roots connecting them to each other while keeping them grounded. I mean, really. They've been there a long, long time. ...

Photo of the day (8.27.10)

Photo of the day (8.27.10) According to this image's creator, I Am Rob, this blurry, even distorted, photograph of a rain-splattered windshield was snapped in Southern California. I believe him. Everything about this image suggests Los Angeles in the late winter: the rain, the palm trees, and the ...

Photo of the day (8.26.10)

Photo of the day (8.26.10) County fairs are full of good old-fashioned fun. Where else can you see a tractor pull, eat nothing but deep-fried foods, see carnies in their native habitats, and admire the area's finest livestock, all in a day? This photo from the Nicollet County Fair in Minnesota by ...

Photo of the Day (8.24.10)

Photo of the Day (8.24.10) I think it's fair to say that everyone deserves to experience a moment like this in their lifetime. A remote beach. A dramatic sunset. Stormy clouds hanging in the distance with nightfall soon approaching. Flickr user Ka wai punahele immortalized this picture perfect ...

Photo of the Day (08.23.10)

Photo of the Day (08.23.10) We send a lot of mixed signals to kids. We tell them not to talk to strangers, then we encourage them to "tell the nice lady how old you are" when some random old bitty on the street approaches us. Or we give them a dollar to tip the creepy street performer who smells like ...

Photo of the Day (8.22.10)

Photo of the Day (8.22.10) Photography isn't just about clicking a shot based on what's in your viewfinder. Elements like lighting, framing and timing all matter when you're hoping to capture that perfect shot. Just take a look at Flickr user andykee's image of these four lake houses in Delaware ...

Photo of the Day (8.21.2010)

Photo of the Day (8.21.2010) You know how it's really popular for travelers to pose for photos in front of statues by mimicking them? Well, I sort of think this would be a really funny statue to mimic. You'd have to have the right hair, of course. Flickr user AlexSven captured this free spirit ...

Photo of the day (8.20.10)

Photo of the day (8.20.10) Rainbows are the stuff of childhood drawings and goopy romance. They're everywhere and they're corny. The thing is, they're also pretty awesome. They pop up in unexpected places and can't help but delight most viewers. This image of a rainbow in the Haute-Savoie region of ...

Photo of the Day (8.19.10)

Photo of the Day (8.19.10) "Clang, clang, clang went the trolley," sang Judy Garland in Meet Me in St. Louis, giving the most charming mode of transportation its own theme song. Except this trolley isn't in St. Louis or even San Francisco, it's in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, part of the oldest operating ...

Photo of the Day (8.17.10)

Photo of the Day (8.17.10) Anyone know how to order a half-caf venti soy no foam latte in Arabic? As I'm sure you've guessed, today's Photo of the Day comes from the city of immense scale, renowned elegance, & other worldly air conditioning bills; Dubai. Flickr user JonRawlinson snapped the ...

Photo of the Day (08.16.10)

Photo of the Day (08.16.10) Whatever happened to boy bands? I guess popular music is cyclical and we're just not in a boy band era right now. I mean, the Jackson 5 were amazing. New Edition was pretty awesome, too. NKOTB (New Kids on the Block, for those not in the know) were pretty horrible but ...
