There may be a Bigfoot crawling around the underbrush of Texas. According to the breathless narrator in this video, these two photos were taken by Lupe Mendoza, who spotted a strange creature when it spooked a herd of cattle. Apparently some gutted hogs were found nearby, so Bigfoot may have been feeding.

Apr 21st, 2013 at 6:00PM:
Over dinner recently, a fellow Gadling blogger, some other travel lovers and I were discussing the merits of San Francisco. We decided that our favorite part about it was that it just has that special amount of "funk" that is hard to find in other cities. It's hard to describe, but if you have been to San Francisco, you know what I am talking about.
That feeling is perfectly captured in ...Photo Of The Day: Shanghai's Ancient River Town
Apr 19th, 2013 at 6:00PM:
Shanghai is the most populated city in the world, with buildings literally as far as the eye can see, but that's partly because of reduced visibility from pollution. It's hard to believe that this river oasis is located within China's most commercial city. Qibao, one of the oldest towns still remaining within Shanghai, is photographed here by Nelson Ni, who perfectly captured the calm within ...Photo Of The Day: Boston Running Shoes
Apr 18th, 2013 at 7:00PM:
Hello from Boston, my hometown and location for the week. I arrived Tuesday, just about 24 hours after the horrific Marathon bombings, and found the city somber but also kinder and gentler than usual (hardly any cars honking). My first stop was Boston Common, for a walk through the park and gardens. Though the streets were lined with news trucks, and there were more than a few police officers ...#OnTheRoad On Instagram: Seoul, South Korea
Apr 16th, 2013 at 4:30PM:
Cherry blossoms get me ridiculously excited. The gorgeous pinkish-white flowers last for only a couple of weeks, making them truly special. They are the one true indication that spring has started here in South Korea, where cherry blossoms line many streets and park walkways. Numerous festivals around the country are held in order to take full advantage or their limited blooming period. Over ...Photo Of The Day: Cyclists In Foggy Bruges
Apr 14th, 2013 at 6:00PM:
Cycling is an excellent way to explore a city, and who said it had to be nice weather to do it? This photo taken on a foggy day in Bruges, Belgium, shows just what is required in order to take on a city in inclement weather. The cyclists are probably locals, but maybe it's some inspiration for an intrepid traveler ready to commit to touring on two wheels?

Apr 14th, 2013 at 2:00PM: Since the invention of the camera, portraiture has been an important part of the cultural history of Mexico. Now, a new book, "Mexican Portraits" (Aperture, $85) curated by photographer and editor Pablo Ortiz Monasterio, beautifully captures the essence of this complex country's people.
The goal of Monasterio's book, however, is about more than mere imagery. According to CNN, the author was ...Photo Of The Day: The Bubble Man
Apr 13th, 2013 at 5:00PM:
This Photo of the Day, titled "The Bubble Man," comes from Gadling Flickr pool member thetravelingteacher and was captured using a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi.
Captioning the image, thetravelingteacher (AKA Lauren Irons) says, "Found this guy in Taman Fatahillah, Jakarta, surrounded by local school children. He has an epic talent for making bubbles!"
This photo is one of 20 images in ...Photo Of The Day: Seeing Mona Lisa
Apr 11th, 2013 at 6:00PM:
Nearly every visitor to Paris' Louvre Museum will tell you that, once they fight through the crowds to see her, it is surprising how small the famous "Mona Lisa" painting is in person. Today's Photo of the Day shows both the crowds of tourists eager to photograph her, and the relative scale of da Vinci's lady (30 x 21 inches, if you are wanted to know) to other paintings in the museum. It ...A Look Inside The David Bowie Exhibition At London's Victoria & Albert Museum
Apr 10th, 2013 at 3:30PM:
David Bowie is a pop star. David Bowie is a designer. David Bowie is an actor. David Bowie is a painter.
David Bowie is a lot of things, which is why it's appropriate that his retrospective at London's Victoria & Albert Museum is titled "David Bowie Is."
The museum gained unprecedented access to the David Bowie archive to select five decades of mementos like this striped bodysuit ...Photo Of The Day: Japanese Mall Food
Apr 7th, 2013 at 5:00PM:
When you are in a new place, sometimes it's the most common things that are the most striking. Think about going to the food court at the mall. At home, that's a mundane task, certainly not on the list of anyone with a passion for food or experiencing new cultures. But on the search for mall food in another country? Now that's an adventure.
Instagram user atiriarte shows us Japanese mall ...Video: The Stunning Landscapes Of New Zealand In Timelapse
Apr 7th, 2013 at 8:00AM: Considered one of the great adventure travel destinations on Earth, New Zealand is a country known for its stunning landscapes and breathtaking vistas. Nowhere is that more evident than in the video below, which simply put is 5+ minutes of jaw-dropping imagery. Shot entirely on the North Island, the video offers enticing shots of snow-capped mountains, beautiful shorelines and verdant forests.

Photo Of The Day: Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge
Apr 6th, 2013 at 5:00PM:
This Photo of the Day, titled "Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge," comes from Gadling Flickr pool member Bernard-SD, captured with a Cannon EOS 5D Mark II.
Not exactly friendly, it is one of the few ways to enter or leave North Korea. The Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge carries automobile and rail traffic but not people, as pedestrians are not allowed to cross it. Of the image, Bernard-SD ...Photo Of The Day: Sketching In Angkor Wat
Apr 5th, 2013 at 6:00PM:
As the largest religious monument in the world, Angkor Wat is truly massive, taking hours to get just a cursory view of the temple complex. While it is Cambodia's prime attraction, there are still plenty of corners in which to find your own personal space, which is exactly what this sketch artist is doing inside Banteay Kdei. Known as the "Citadel of Chambers," monks still lived inside up ...Photo Of The Day: Plane's Wing In The Air
Apr 2nd, 2013 at 6:00PM:
OK, so it may be one of the ultimate Instagram cliches. But sometimes, the right plane wing set against the right sky can really make you appreciate the joy of travel. Take this mobile photograph from Instagram user beriggio, taken from an airplane window at sunrise. It's hard not to marvel at the image of the mountainous landscape meeting the still ocean from 30,000 feet in the air - ...Photo Of The Day: All Signs Lead To ...
Mar 31st, 2013 at 5:00PM:
If you calculated how much time you look at certain things when you travel, signs would be at the top of the list. Whether it's indicating a road or a restaurant, without signs we would quite literally be lost.
In some places, there are more signs than others, and in this photo, Flickr user Luke Robinson captures a jumble of signs in Hong Kong. In fact, it's not even clear what each sign ...Photo Of The Day: A Woman At Work
Mar 30th, 2013 at 5:00PM:
This Photo of the Day (POTD), titled "A woman at work in the vegetable market in downtown Colombo," comes from Gadling Flickr pool member MyLifesATrip and was captured with an Apple iPhone 5.
Not normally the camera of choice for photos I find POTD-worthy, MyLifesATrip AKA Gadling contributor Jen Pollack Bianco said of the device, "the iPhone/iPod Touch has the potential to become the ...Photo Of The Day: Framing The Louvre
Mar 28th, 2013 at 6:00PM:
It's not easy to frame a scene perfectly for a photograph, especially at a popular spot full of tourists. But Flickr user Kumakulanui did it twice for today's Photo of the Day. Taken at Paris' famed Louvre museum, he captures both the larger scene of people and architecture, as well as the close-up his travel companion is shooting on her camera. The result is a very clever double take, giving ...Photo Of The Day: The Old And The New In Seoul, South Korea
Mar 26th, 2013 at 6:30PM:
As we've seen in Jonathan Kramer's "The Kimchi-ite" series, South Korea is a country that embraces both its past and its future. That notion is captured perfectly in this Photo of the Day from Flickr user and photographer Ohad Ben-Yoseph, which depicts a colorful old temple set against a sparkling new skyscraper in perfect juxtaposition. Ben-Yoseph's Flickr photo stream is filled with ...Photo Of The Day: Uppsala Botanical Gardens, Sweden
Mar 24th, 2013 at 6:30PM:
Sun in the middle of Swedish winter is a sought after thing, and this photo by Flickr user mjlacey captures the seasonal beauty of sunlight on snow.
The oldest botanical garden in Sweden, Botaniska Trädgården (Botanical Gardens), located in the university town of Uppsala, was founded in 1655 and was originally used for teaching students about botany and pharmacy. Today the ...
