Our winners today 🍍

🥇 Jasper National Park: Waterfalls, ice walls and wrong turns in the Sunwapta Valley (Icefield Parkway) by @ladybug146

Deemed one of the most beautiful highways in the world seeing millions of tourist each year seemed deserted, so far this trip, the town was nearly empty, the trails were empty, it was a great time for locals to be here. No bus loads after bus loads of chaotic tourists bursting out like ants out of an anthill...This is how the Rockies were meant to be enjoyed! We love you guys but I think it will give the land time to recoup from all the visitor stress it has endured over the years.

🥈 The Dark Gate and the Executioner's House in Görlitz / Das Finstertor und das Scharfrichterhaus in Görlitz (Photoreport) by @schamangerbert

In the north of the city there is a very special Görlitz monument. Almost 500 years seem to have simply passed by the building. It was first mentioned in 1455 as a gate at the gravedigger. The museum was unfortunately closed due to the pandemic and so I can only show pictures from the outside. In the vernacular, the gate was also called the poor sinners gate. The convicts had to go through here and were judged in the hangman's house or the adjoining gallows hill.

🥉 4x4 Camping Adventure. Hiking to the top for the best views. by @thinkit

As we walked back to the truck we took a look back up to where we had just hiked. The sun was much higher in the sky and we were feeling much warmer. We set up our camp table for breakfast, turned on the gas, mixed up some flour, eggs and milk and cooked some pancakes. Fortunately one of the things we did buy in the market on the drive in were strawberries, perfect for any camping breakfast!
