Our winners today 🍍

🥇 For some it is fun, for others it is dangerous work - Volcano Ijen, Indonesia by @marianomariano

After Bromo, it's time for Volcano Ijen. We stayed in Banyuwangi, a village that is the perfect starting point for exploring the Ijen volcano, but also for a ferry trip to Bali, which we later did. Ijen is a specific place where thrill-seekers meet with local miners, for whom the Ijen volcano is a source of livelihood. Ijen volcano is located in East Java in a caldera almost 20 km in diameter. The caldera is huge, very beautiful and picturesque, and at the same time terrifying. It looks like a great desert full of volcanic dust.

🥈 Liberty Sculpture Park, California, The US by @rt395

I've been spending the last few weekends out in the California desert hunting gems and minerals. On the way out to one of my collecting locations, I stopped by an iconic park off of the 15 freeway on the way to Las Vegas, Liberty Sculpture Park. The park is located in Yermo, CA next to the 15 freeway. Yermo is about 125 miles from Los Angeles. It is free to enter and conveniently located to a freeway exit so it's very easy to stop by and look around.

🥉 Kien Giang (Part 1), Nam Du Islands, Vietnam by @hyhy93

Today, I will share with you a wonderfully beautiful archipelago and leave the deepest impression among the islands that I have ever visited, and that is also the 3rd day of the trip to discover the Southwest of Vietnam, Nam Du archipelago. In the previous post of this journey of discovery, I took you to visit Tra Su Melaleuca Forest, in Tinh Bien district, An Giang province. After leaving the sightseeing area, our team continued to move more than 80km south to Rach Gia city of Kien Giang province. On the way, we visited the jaggery field. Since it is only about 10km from Tra Su Melaleuca Forest and is located right on the main road of the route to Rach Gia city, it didn't take too long when we stopped by.
