Happy Labor Day! When I was young one of the subscriptions I looked forward receiving every month was the National Geographic my parents mother received. While I have not received a yellow paper issue in years truly enjoy there online presence, the NatGeo website has great content. As a city girl I absolutely loved their topic for the photo of the day in August, city pictures. Out of the 30 photos submitted by readers and chosen by the magazine these are my five favorites:
Photograph by Tian-yu Xiong
Photograph by Diane Cook and Len Jenshel
Photograph by Dr. Akira Takaue
Photograph by Gerd Ludwig
Photograph by Cristi Niculescu
I did not take any of these photos but I congratulate the photographers on these amazing shots, well done! I am also really looking forward to viewing and reading the submissions for this month’s topic for the photo of the day, the stories behind your shots.

I love that last one of Romania! The black and white is perfect. I’m no expert on photography, but they’re all pretty awesome!
