It's so hard to believe that July's over -- how did this summer pass so quickly? I know, I know -- it's still August, and here in Texas, this means that we're really entering the blistering heat of the summertime, but I can't help it: historically, August has always meant ...Photo of the Day (7.12.09)
Lisbon's Bairro Alto neighborhood has managed to become one of the city's most popular and yet still remain among its quirkiest, home to a budding collection of eclectic shopping, raucous nightlife and interesting food. This shot, by Flickr user (flicts), offers a good ...Photo of the day 6.15.09
I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but here in Texas, it is H-O-T. Miserably, upper 90's kind of hot. So miserable, it can sometimes be tough to remember that summer is suppose to be a good, happy season. Which is why love images like this one, shot in ...Through the Gadling Lens: seeing the light
When you're first starting out in photography, you're likely to read, or hear, or have told to you: "See the light. When you can see the light, you'll be a great photographer. You just have to see the light." Many times, I've had new photographers retort with exasperation: ...Through the Gadling Lens: the latest, greatest shots from the Gadling Flickr pool
It's been a little over three months since the last time we waded through all the amazing images shared in our Gadling Flickr pool, and it seems like it's time to do so, again: after all, schools have closed (or are about to close) for the summer break all over the world, ...Portugal decriminalizes drugs; world doesn't end
When most of us hear about "legal" drugs in Europe, we think of the Netherlands and its capital Amsterdam, where permissive drug policies and smoke-filled "coffee shops" attract tourists from around the world. (Even Rick Steves!)
What most people don't know is that in ...Photo of the Day (5.17.09)
When you think of fishing, it's usually in the context of a leisurely afternoon. An old man crouched on a dock or boat, trapped in his own thoughts and the sounds of the sea. This fisherman capture, taken by Flickr user Michael JosephGoldst...etc near Sagres in Portugal, ...Photo of the Day (5-13-09)
First, the composition and colors of this photo caught my attention, and then I wondered where this Buddha statue is. Using t3mujin's tags "Quinta dos Loridos" and "Portugal" as clues, my impression is that this gem is among the statuary at the Quinta dos Loridos winery ...Top 10 wine spots, none in U.S.
I realize that, on the world stage, our homeland isn't exactly the most popular place right now. Part of it stems from eight years of political buffoonery, and a healthy dose comes from traditional "old world" bias against the United States. Like most of us, I've learned to ...Photo of the Day (3.27.09)
Lisbon gets all the attention in Portugal, but flickr user StrudelMonkey shows us a slice of Portugal's lesser-known Second City of Porto. The town (pop. 240,000) is famous as the home of Port wine and the town's center was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site back in ...Bargain Europe: Camping Across The Continent
In these economic times we're all looking to find ways to save a little cash without giving up our travels. Airfares are more affordable than they have been in a long time, which means that we can at least afford to get to the places we want to visit. But what happens once ...Photo of the Day: 2.16.09
Here in the southern United States, I keep reading the weather reports of northern locales with horror: is it me, or does it seem like this winter has been rather unbelievably cold? Reports of people digging out from under the snow all over the world leaves me somewhat ...Drink port at the source
Nothing punctuates an amazing meal quite like an ancient port. For most restaurants in the United States, though, port seems like something of an afterthought. Few are offered, and they tend to be pedestrian at best. So, if you're looking for that perfect tawny, get in a ...Photo of the Day (1-28-09)
Macbeth's woods where the witches toil? No, flicts captured a shot of these woods in Portugal. The hues and shadows are wonderfully alluring--ink black and almost neon blue. What is out there? What is out there? Shhhhhh. Listen.
If you have an alluring shot to show off, ...Photo of the Day (12.12.08)
Taken in Portugal, this gorgeous sunset shot from flickr user flicts makes me hate the snow on the ground outside my house even more. I can just imagine sitting on the beach with a bottle of Portuguese Super Bock next to me, thanking God to be alive.
Notice the reflections ...Photo of the Day (12.08.08)
I positively love this image by Flickr user t3mujin -- the composition couldn't be more perfect. Shot in Portugual, the pop of colour is breathtaking, and I love the juxtaposition of the old (the building, the cobblestone street) with the modern (the fire-engine red ...Photo of the Day (08.24.08)
How often has this ever happened to you? You head down to the beach and there's nobody there. It's certainly not a pleasure I get to have very often - and definitely not during this time of year. Perhaps once Labor Day passes us by. In any case, hats off to Flickr user ...Photo of the Day (8-20-08)
This fountain in Madeira, Portugal says summer. How great would it be to run through this on a hot day?
I'm reminded of the other fountains where water arcs upwards from the ground. There's the fountain that Matt Harding of "Where the Hell is Matt?" dances in along with ...Photo of the Day (07.06.08)
Flickr user wesleyrosenblum has decided to let us in on a secret - Lisbon is one of the most picturesque cities on earth. This photo looks like it was taken from atop the hill that's occupied by Lisbon's Castelo São Jorge, the magnificent castle that guards this ...
