🥈 An iconic street in the city, brimming with architecture and history – Calle Císter 📷 Málaga – Spain by @avdesing

There are places in the city steeped in history, but I’m not just referring to the city’s own history or the events that took place there in the past; they also hold personal significance for me.

🥉 Hunting trolls in the deep, Danish forests by @digi-me

This summer I have discovered how fun it is to go troll hunting in the Danish forests. The giant trolls made from recycled materials has become known worldwide. The artist is the Danish sculptureThomas Dambo, who is internationally recognized for creating giant sculptures. Dambo's trolls have become so popular that they are no longer found only in Denmark; you can find them in other countries across Europe, as well as in the USA, Australia, Asia and elsewhere. Also, his trolls have broken visitor records worldwide and have been featured by, Lonely Planet, National Geographic and the BBC.
