	Sometimes, the most hidden corners of a city are its most interesting. Take this sliver of <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/jerusalem">Jerusalem</a>'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 the Gadling Group Pool on Flickr. Plus, this Photo of the Day was taken with an iPhone! Flickr user <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/spring_break/">Better Nothing Than Almost</a> proves that when the subject, lighting, and composition are right, the rest doesn't really matter. Well, maybe some photo-ready <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2011/08/26/iphoneography-make-your-iphone-travel-pictures-spectacular/">iPhoneography apps</a> help too.<br />

Most of our favorite travel memories are from <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/summer/">summer</a>: school's out and the days are long, you can hit the beach, sit in a park, or people-watch at a sidewalk cafe. <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/Spring/">Spring</a> and <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/fall/">fall</a> are great shoulder seasons for lower prices and fewer crowds, but winter tends to be underappreciated for travel. Outside of visiting family for holidays, winter travelers generally head to the <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/ski/">ski</a> slopes or <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/Caribbean/">Caribbean</a> islands to escape the cold. But <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/winter/">winter</a> can be a lovely time to travel, whether you are enjoying the museums and bathhouses of <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2011/01/12/10-ways-to-survive-a-russian-winter-vacation/">Moscow</a> or taking a country walk through the <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/snow/">snow</a> in an English village. Today's <a href="http://www.gadling.com/category/photo-of-the-day/">Photo of the Day</a> by Flickr user <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pmforster/">Kumukulanui</a> is from <a href="http://stannswell.co.uk/">St. Ann's Well and Cafe</a> above the spa town of Great Malvern, <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/England/">England</a>. The snow outside makes it even more picturesque, inviting you to get cozy inside with a hot cup of tea and savor the long nights of winter.<br />

Honestly, have you ever seen olives look so appetizing? This epicurean Photo of the Day was snapped at the Mercado San Miguel in <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/Madrid/">Madrid</a>, a traditional Beaux-Arts food market recently restored and reopened in 2009. Flickr user <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ladyexpat/">LadyExpat</a> used a Nikon D90 to capture the details in the delicacies: the vibrant colors, the fillings contained in the olives, the reflection of light in the juice. We're sure they were delicious.<br />

Extreme cold and snow have <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/06/world/europe/europe-struggles-to-deal-with-cold-and-snow.html" target="_blank">gripped parts of Europe</a> in ways that the continent has not experienced in years. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2012/02/05/world/europe/02062012weather.html" target="_blank">The images of people struggling</a> to cope with the elements are chilling (no pun intended). Even in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split,_Croatia" target="_blank">Split, Croatia</a>, a coastal town on the Adriatic Sea, snow has blanketed the beaches as temperatures have plunged nearly 30 degrees below average for this time of year. Seeing people walk along the palm tree-lined shore as snow falls unrelentingly is almost too incongruous to process.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/02/06/video-of-the-day-snow-on-the-beach-in-split-croatia/">Video of the Day: Snow on the beach in Split, Croatia</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:00:00 EST.

WAHOO! Doesn't today's photo, by Flickr user <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ahalvorsen/6510462865/in/pool-81645791@N00/">halvora</a>, make you want to take a running start and just jump in the water? Taken at a waterfall called <a href="http://www.huahin-tourist-information.com/pala-u-waterfalls.htm">Pala-U</a> near the Thai resort town of Hua Hin, I love the image's sense of movement and playfulness, the boy caught mid-leap, and its serene setting at a refreshing waterfall pool.<br />

<br />
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 <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rblanding/" target="_blank">insEyedout</a>, precisely because it falls into neither camp. It's too pretty to count as a random snap and too sparse to go in a brochure.<br />
<br />
That said, it certainly achieves the aim of advertisement. What better way to encapsulate the deep thrill that Disney's amusements inspire than to reduce those towers to a silhouette on a horizon? How recognizable is this image to hundreds of millions of people?<br />

We at Gadling love <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/streetfood">street food</a>. Whether it's from an <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/01/16/the-best-food-trucks-in-new-york-city/">upscale Manhattan cart</a> or from a<a href="http://www.gadling.com/2011/05/10/video-chinese-popcorn-cannon/"> Chinese cannon</a>, you'll find that some of the most satisfying and authentic local food doesn't come from a restaurant. Today's <a href="http://www.gadling.com/category/photo-of-the-day/">Photo of the Day</a> by Flickr user <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/34929191@N02/">micke77023</a> comes from <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/Cairo/">Cairo</a>, <a href="http://www.gadling.com/category/Egypt/">Egypt</a> of a <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/falafel/">falafel</a> man who seems to enjoy his product. You can almost smell the chickpea goodness emanating from his kitchen and tell that whatever he's cooking is bound to be tasty.<br />

Each morning in <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/HoChiMinhCity/">Ho Chi Minh City</a>, <a href="http://www.gadling.com/category/Vietnam/">Vietnam</a>, mobile street vendors brave the city's <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2011/12/05/video-of-the-day-traffic-in-ho-chi-minh-city-vietman/">frenetic traffic</a> to hawk breakfast specialties like banana patties, <em>pho</em>, and other popular <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2010/09/01/vietnamese-street-food-tastes-better-by-motorbike/">Vietnamese street foods</a>.

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 must have happened when people saw these <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=dcDN409ZBv4" target="_blank">human-shaped remote control airplanes</a> circling around New York. It looks like it might just be a promotional video for the new film <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronicle_%28film%29" target="_blank"><em>Chronicle</em></a>, but that doesn't make it any less awesome. Time to stare out there window and wish for some superpowers.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/01/30/video-of-the-day-flying-people-in-new-york-city/">Video of the Day: Flying People in New York City</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:30:00 EST.

This <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/kauai" target="_blank">Kauai sky</a> 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.<br />
<br />
Captured by Flickr user <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattcoatslovesyou/" target="_blank">matt coats</a> earlier this month, this is a dreamy image, a reminder that <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2011/12/14/want-a-beautiful-night-sky-go-to-the-isle-of-sark/" target="_blank">the sky</a>, like the ocean, inspires journeys through its very enormity.<br />

If you can think of a <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/movie/">movie</a> scene set in a toy store, odds are it's the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKrZiddRphw">Chopsticks scene</a> at <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/NewYorkCity/">New York City</a>'s <a href="http://www.fao.com/home/index.jsp">FAO Schwarz</a> from <em>Big</em>. 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 medley of "Heart and Soul" and "Chopsticks." Today's Photo of the Day by Flickr user <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/snowjumper/">snowjumpr</a> shows how fun it can be to play in a toy store, no matter how, er, big you are.<br />

Each year, more than a million people visit the Pacific island of <a href="http://travel.aol.com/travel-guide/australia-and-south-pacific/guam/">Guam</a>, an unincorporated territory of the <a href="http://www.gadling.com/category/United-States/">United States</a> located in <a href="http://www.gadling.com/category/Micronesia/">Micronesia</a>. This video shows why: breathtaking sunsets, beautiful beaches, fantastic diving, a vibrant tourist district, tropical flora and fauna, and a unique culture influenced by Spanish colonization, Japanese occupation, and now American control.<br />
<br />
I'm also biased; as a native <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamorro_people">Chamorro</a> who was raised in Guam, I am well familiar with everything my home island has to offer.<br />
<br />
Despite the fact that <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/tourism/">tourism</a> is Guam's largest industry, not too many people outside of the main tourist markets of <a href="http://www.gadling.com/category/Japan/">Japan</a> and East Asia are familiar with the island. In the United States, most people I encounter know that Guam is home to major American military bases, but not much else. This video, combined with the photo gallery below, provide a brief introduction.<br />

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 <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2011/06/19/cedar-point-opens-windseeker-year-tower-rides/" target="_blank">Cedar Point</a> and roller coaster road trips for someone else. Because, quite frankly, the looks on the faces of the two men <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=buj3d3D-meY#!" target="_blank">in this video</a>, combined with their deafening screams, basically sum up how I react to amusement park rides. <a href="http://www.gadling.com/category/theme-parks/" target="_blank">Theme parks</a> can be fun but mostly because so many of them serve turkey legs.<br />
<br />

The rainy day colors and textures of Flickr user <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/spring_break/6736316635/in/pool-81645791@N00/">Better Nothing Than Almost's</a> photo caught my eye today. Taken near <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/TelAviv/">Tel Aviv</a>, <a href="http://www.gadling.com/category/Israel/">Israel</a>, the blurry drops of water that cling to the window create an impressionist-like effect on the image. I love the hushed color palette, darkening skies and bursts of warm light. It feels eerie yet warm at the same time.<br />

<br />
Cinque Terre is a rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera in the Liguria region of Italy, west of the city of La Spezia. About 200 miles to the south is where the island of <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;t=m&amp;vpsrc=6&amp;source=embed&amp;oe=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=212558459733996054523.0004b694bed200a021f41">Giglio is located along</a> with that grounded <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/01/14/breaking-cruise-ship-sinks-in-titanic-like-accident/">cruise ship</a>, <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/01/17/cruise-tragedy-calls-for-increased-focus-on-safety/">Costa Concordia</a>.<br />

<a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/LasVegas/" target="_blank">Las Vegas</a> and bright lights: peas in a pod, lovers on a park bench. They're intertwined, and frankly unimaginable without the other. Flickr user <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jrodmanjr/" target="_blank">jrodmanjr</a> plays around with this association, capturing some of Las Vegas' less extraordinary lights. He juxtaposes hotel neon with car lights, all set against an evening sky.<br />

<a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/01/09/adventure-vacation-guide-2012-ushuaia-argentina/" target="_blank">Ushuaia</a>, 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 <a href="http://www.ptowilliams.cl/" target="_blank">Puerto Williams, Chile</a>--it is without question the world's southernmost city, with a population, according to the 2010 census, of just under 57,000.<br />
<br />
Flickr user <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gesteves/" target="_blank">Guillermo Esteves</a> snapped this image of Ushuaia in mid-December, capturing Ushuaia in its full late spring glory.<br />

There's something indescribably calming about looking over a body of water at sunrise. Flickr user <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/james_wheeler/">James Wheeler</a> 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 <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/Vancouver/">Vancouver</a>, British Columbia, <a href="http://www.gadling.com/category/Canada/">Canada</a>. The image's quality is partially thanks to Wheeler's Nikon D5000, but the scenery doesn't hurt either.<br />

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 <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/03/19/TR791CAT0V.DTL" target="_blank">played it...poorly</a>. Americans don't understand cricket. Is it like baseball? What's a wicket? Why does a match take so many days? Thankfully, one America has taken it upon himself to help us all <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83oa1S0x9zI&amp;feature=related" target="_blank">learn about the game</a>. Sit back, relax and let comedian <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/reginalddhunter" target="_blank">Reginald D. Hunter</a> explain the ins and outs of cricket. I think you'll see that it's a lot simpler than you feared.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2012/01/16/video-of-the-day-an-american-explains-cricket/">Video of the Day: An American explains cricket</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:00:00 EST.
