"Indiana Jones would be proud," wrote Instagram user shuotography in the caption for today's Photo of the Day. Yes, we think he would. Taken at the Treasury in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan, this photo was enhanced with Instagram's "Lo-Fi" filter, which adds shadows and makes colors richer. While no one knows for certain, the Treasury, known in Arabic as al-Khazneh, is believed to have ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Photo Of The Day: The Treasury At Petra
Feb 19th, 2013 at 6:00PM:
"Indiana Jones would be proud," wrote Instagram user shuotography in the caption for today's Photo of the Day. Yes, we think he would.

Feb 14th, 2013 at 6:00PM:
Happy Valentine's Day! Can a place be your Valentine? This year, I'm in Istanbul, my second love, but my first will always be New York City. Still, I've never quite gotten the appeal of souvenir T-shirts that announce where you've been or what places you love most. There was a nice trend after September 11, 2001, of people wearing "I (Heart) NY More Than Ever," which made sense and contributed ...National Geographic Announces Student Expedition Photo Contest Winners
Feb 14th, 2013 at 8:00AM: National Geographic has announced the winners of their second annual Student Expedition Photo Contest, selecting the best images from more than 2,500 entries submitted by high school students from across the country.

The ...The National Parks Conservation Association Wants Your Photos!
Feb 13th, 2013 at 8:00AM: The National Parks Conservation Association is looking to send a message to the folks in Washington, D.C., and they'd like our help in doing it.
The non-profit organization is dedicated to protecting and preserving America's national parks for future generations, but with potential budget cuts looming the fear is that members of Congress may have forgotten just how special those places truly ...Photo Of The Day: The Shanghai Tower Rises
Feb 8th, 2013 at 6:00PM:
Today's Photo Of The Day comes from Lawrence Wang, who captured this astounding image of the Shanghai Tower currently under construction. After its completion, the Shanghai Tower will be the tallest building in China and second tallest building in the world, after the almighty Burj Khalifa.

Feb 7th, 2013 at 6:00PM:
I don't mind food photos, even when they clog up my Instagram feed or distract me from my dinner companion. As long as they are interesting and tell me something I don't know or might not have experienced otherwise, I think they are a great expression of social networking. I spotted today's Photo of the Day in the Gadling Flickr pool taken by Ladyexpat of a Som Tom Salad. This turns out to be ...Diver Captures First Full Light Field Underwater Images With Lytro Camera
Feb 7th, 2013 at 9:00AM: The Lytro Camera is an interesting piece of technology for sure. Like all cameras, it is adept at capturing images that we can later share with friends and family. But what separates the Lytro from any other consumer camera on the market is its ability to capture the entire light field in any given shot. That means every ray of light traveling through a scene is captured and embedded in the image ...Bryan Adams Opens Photography Exhibition In Düsseldorf
Feb 5th, 2013 at 2:00PM: For any child of the '80s, Bryan Adams is that clean-cut Canadian rock star with a steady string of hits. While he's not as big as he once was, he's still making great music and going on tour.
What many people don't know about him is that he's also an accomplished photographer. He's been published in magazines such as Esquire and Interview and has done numerous shows at top venues such as the ...Photo Of The Day: The Official Sport Of Paris

This one really hit home because people-watching at a sidewalk cafe is a big part of what traveling in Europe means to me. One of our favorite travel rituals is to find a sidewalk cafe with ...Photo Of The Day: Venice Of The East
Jan 31st, 2013 at 6:00PM:
In travel media, we hear a lot of city comparisons: Ljubljana is the new Prague. Shanghai aims to be the Paris of the East. Looking at today's Photo of the Day, you'll think, "Wow, that looks like Venice. But in the East!" Taken by Flickr user Ver Argulla in western Thailand, the photo shows the floating market of Damnoen Saduak. Its proximity to Bangkok has made it a big tourist attraction, and ...Photo Of The Day: Mongolian Ger

Jan 25th, 2013 at 7:00PM:
In the heart of the greatest metropolis in the world lies Senso-ji, Tokyo's oldest temple. Founded in 628, it is one of the city's biggest tourist attractions – and rightly so. An ENORMOUS lantern is at the head of a ridiculously long walkway of trinket stalls, which leads to the recently renovated main hall, a registered national treasure. Adjacent to the main hall is this five-story ...Photo Of The Day: Winter Wonderland

Jan 17th, 2013 at 5:00PM:
This morning, the Internet (okay, maybe just airline nerds) was abuzz over American Airlines' newly unveiled logo. The new look features a streamlined eagle with a red and blue wing. I dug through the Gadling Flickr pool in hopes of finding a vintage AA logo, and found one from our own pilot-in-residence, Kent Wien. This retro jet is decked out with the early '60s logo and colors (don't worry, ...Photo Of The Day: What's In Your Bag?
Jan 10th, 2013 at 5:00PM:
Feeling nosy? Then you might enjoy today's Photo of the Day. Flickr user and designer Lacko Illustration provided an extremely detailed look inside his bag. There's even a legend on the bottom to accompany the objects in case you can't tell from the photo. Judging from the razor blades and Glock drives, he probably doesn't take this on planes, but it's still fun to look inside someone else's ...Photo Of The Day: Urban Decay In Cuba
Dec 27th, 2012 at 6:00PM:
Oi from Rio de Janeiro, where I'm traveling and soaking up some serious holiday sun. Staying at a guest house in bohemian Santa Teresa, I got to talking to artists and curators from all over the world the other night about cities. We talked about cities going through urban renewal and creative renaissance, such as here in Rio, Berlin, Havana, and even Detroit. The meaning of the phrase "ruin ...What Does Kabul Really Look Like? Exploring The Streets Of Afghanistan's Capital
Dec 10th, 2012 at 2:00PM:
The first time I sat in a car in Kabul I was tense. This was the place of car bombs and terrorists after all, wasn't it? My eyes darted back and forth between the driver, the road and all that was taking place around me. It was sensory overload.
The security situation is ever present in Kabul, there's no denying that something could happen at any point in time. Then again, the same thing ...Photo Of The Day: Lost Lake Dock

To get the image we see here, James used a Tokina 12-24mm f/4 ...
