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 ...
Photo of the Day: Workers on a bench
The best photography captures candid moments - those split seconds between fantasy and reality when our subjects' guard comes down and we get a glimpse into their true nature. That's why I liked today's photo by Flickr user t3mujin - his shot of workers relaxing on a ...Photo of the Day: Singapore's unusual theme park
This fellow is from one of Singapore's more unusual attractions - the Haw Par Villa theme park, also called Tiger Balm Gardens. Originally built in the 1930s by the creators of Tiger Balm to showcase Chinese folklore and mythology, the park is known for its bizarre and ...Photo of the Day: Paris bakery run
You might have been able to guess the location of today's Photo of the Day without a title. Advanced use of scarves? Check. Frou-frou dogs? Check. Delicious-looking loaf of bread? Mais oui, it is Paris. The French have a closer relationship to their bakers than most ...Video of the Day: A tour of 1955 San Francisco
Today's featured video offers a rare glimpse at the city of San Francisco as it looked in 1955. Filmed by amateur filmmaker Tullio Pellegrini, the video provides a narrated tour of the city and its surroundings, complete with a gloriously vintage soundtrack. Pellegrini ...
Video of the Day: Brussels to Bruges in two minutes
Road trips seem to be a very American activity. Driving cross-country, family vacations to national parks and the like. However, road trips are popular around the world. Caravanning (what we would call RVing) is quite popular in the UK. Also, because European countries ...
Photo of the Day: Paragliding in France
Today's positively ethereal image comes to us from Flickr user AdamJamesWilson, who captured this sky-high shot of a paraglider over Lake Serre-Poncon in Southeastern France. I love the image's "vintage" muted colors, wisps of cloud and silhouetted figure all set against ...Photo of the Day: Lake Louise from above
Tonight's Photo of the Day depicts the stuff dreams are made of for hikers.
Flickr member AlphaTangoBravo / Adam Baker brings this shot from Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada, in the Lake Louise and Icefields area of Banff National Park. In what is also known as the ...Photo of the day - Buenos Aires overpass
This vibrant Buenos Aires overpass can't help but grab viewers' attention. Situated in the neighborhood of Recoleta, it looks as if it were inspired by a fancy silk scarf. (As an aside, why does super colorful public art crop up so infrequently in cities much grayer than ...Photo of the Day: Smoked Turkish cheese
It used to be a common expression to say that someone "smoked like a Turk," and I can confirm after living in Istanbul for nearly two years, Turks still love their smoking. Even after the indoor smoking ban of 2009, cigarettes and nargile (water pipes) are very common ...Photo of the Day: San Telmo antiques
Few things make me happier than flea market shopping in foreign cities. Perusing the gorgeous antiques, handcrafted jewelry, and other treasures at the weekly Feria de San Telmo in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was pretty close to a heavenly experience. This photo, from ...Video of the Day: Making tacos in space
Preparing your own meals while on the road can be tough. You don't always have a proper kitchen stocked with all of the tools and appliances that you need. Ingredients can be difficult to find. Still, at least we always have gravity to help us out. Not so for astronauts. ...
Photo of the Day - Sicilian man
This elegant gentleman was captured in Sicily by Flickr user TravelSeminar. The weathered creases that line his face, the pulled back curtains and shy grin all suggest a moment of welcome and openness. It's the perfect visual accompaniment to a brand new year - take it ...Photo of the Day: Kawartha Canoes
Flickr member James Wheeler brings us this photo taken Nipissing, Ontario, CA, using a Nikon D5000.
James tells us "Three Kawartha canoes make for a good photo on the shore of Spectacle lake on the east side of Algonquin park."
Upload your best shots to the ...Photo of the day - Winter branches
Today's Photo of the Day captures a mess of winter branches spread across a gray sky like competing capillary systems. Winter officially began in the Northern Hemisphere on December 22. There's no nice way to say it. Winter is here, and the leaves have been gone for some ...Photo of the day - Feeding the fish
Visitors to India know that cows are considered holy and not to be eaten, but in some parts of the southern state of Karnataka, you can cross fish off the menu too. The fish at the Sringeri temple on the banks of the Tunga River are also considered sacred and fishing is ...Video of the Day: Russian heights
Many travelers enjoy pushing their limits while abroad. They'll try bungy jumping, skydiving or hangliding for the first time because the thrill of traveling helps them escape their comfort zone. In Russia, however, those extreme sports are not enough of a thrill. How ...
Photo of the day - Argentine salt carver
It's not enough that this Argentine salt carver works in a blindingly white salt desert under richly blue skies. He also drives a blue car and wears a blue-and-white striped shirt. This striking image was snapped by Flickr user megansnedden at Las Salinas Grandes, a salt ...Video of the day: Season's Greetings from New York City
We at Gadling love a good time-lapse video. Whether it's at a busy airport in Moldova or the many personalities on the streets of Laos, there's something about seeing life pass by at fast (or slow) speeds that's entrancing. With Christmas a few days away and Hanukkah in ...
Video of the Day - Sermilik Ice Fjord
The Sermilik Fjord is a long, steep-walled waterway in southeast Greenland where hundreds of icebergs calve from Greenland's enormous ice sheets every year. Those looking to sail through the stunning fjord for a closer view of the icebergs depart from Ammassalik ...
