#1 Living like the Berbers in Erg Chebbi by @immarojas

Oftentimes, there are places that are difficult to forget and stays with you. For some, a place can also change one' perspective in life that can be either temporary or perhaps permanently. The Berbers in the desert are friendly and simple people, trying to make a living and doing their best in whatever capacity or role their jobs entail in the camps.

#2 Inside the first reactor: An Altar for the Atomic Era by @koenau

Standing in front of the EWC-I today, the modest building, which stands far away from all large human settlements between Butte City and Atomic City in southeastern Idaho, is astonishing. It's only a shed in a wind-swept plain with nothing all around it where mankind has tamed the atom. Other technologies were also implemented for the first time in this first and small civilian reactor. It was in operation until 1963 and is now a National Historic Landmark and open to visitors.

#3 ???? Between Chile and Argentina by @sharker

This pass was used by people for many years, because the road was the shortest route through the Andes between the port of Valparaiso and Buenos Aires. Now the border in these places is mainly crossed not by the pass, along which a rather steep and narrow serpentine road passes, but by the Paso Internacional Los Libertadores (also is known as Cristo Redentor) tunnel underground — it is through it that the Pan-American highway passes.
