🥇 Just up! On the other side of the Viewing pass, Tashkent region, Uzbekistan by @damm-steemit

Early in the morning, we left Tashkent. Since I arrived before everyone else, I legally took my usual place in the minibus. As I already mentioned, when traveling to the mountains of the Tashkent region, I like to sit on the right side - it is very convenient to photograph sunrises. As usual, the dawn was magnificent - a fiery orange ball illuminated the sky and mountains. It's amazing how many times I have seen such sunrises and they are always different and always beautiful!

🥈 Inday Clara travels Solo #45 | Exploring Angkor Thom's Royal Grounds, Cambodia by @indayclara

Just north of Baphuon Temple lies what used to be the "Royal Grounds" of Angkor Thom. Me and my friend Mani brave the afternoon heat just to explore this amazing ancient site in Cambodia. To be honest, it was the wrong time of the day to be visiting this open area however we had to squeeze a lot of places in just a day so we just had to. It was totally worth it in the end because this "Royal Grounds" have but 5 sites to visit through a trail that leads into the dense forest. Out of the 5 we were able to visit 4 which are the Terrace of the Elephants, Terrace of the Leper King, Phimeanakas, and Prasat Preah Palilay. The last site Tep Pranam we were no longer able to visit. So lets start the tour!

🥉 Photographing Puy de Sancy, France by @mibreit-photo

After visiting the popular lavender fields of Valensole we continued our travels through France and headed North. Our goal was to drive up to Brittany, but this would have been a too long drive for just one day. So we did a half-way stop in the Auvergne mountains, right in the center of France. There I wanted to photograph the rolling hills around Puy de Sancy.
