#1 Chiang Rai's Blue Temple aka Wat Rong SueaTen is a gem worth uncovering by @rayshiuimages

Wat Rong Suea Ten is a relatively new temple and lesser known of the artistic temples. The main hall was completed in 2016 and built to replace the previous ruined and abandoned wat which dated back about 100 years. Honestly, I had no idea a wat like this existed and I am so glad (and lucky) that I was able to visit it. The only reason I found it was because the front desk clerk at the hotel I was staying at in Chiang Mai recommended a "White Temple" in Chiang Rai after I told him I was a photographer and loved the Thai styled temples.

#2 Osaka Castle - Japan by @vcclothing

Once inside you will quickly understand why this castle is a famous Japanese landmark! Once you enter the gates, you see the castle straight away and it is magnificent!! Here is a great story I was told. In 1614 the Siege of Osaka went down at this castle. The occupants held off an army of 200,000 strong attackers and the castle clan were out numbered two to one. But with the moats surrounding the castle it kept the attackers at bay and were all defeated.

#3 Traveling the World #150 - Seagull in Clouds @ Bojnice, Slovakia by @travelgirl

We finally close and we saw some cute little houses that look like small mushrooms …. just like the smurf houses! As you can see so many people around taking pictures before the sunsets. Our mission is to get to the top of the structure before dark so we can see the sunset with the city in front of us.
