Our winners today 🍍


🥇 Our experience at The golden circle in Iceland by @miljo76

The golden circle is the most popular tourist route in Iceland; we did it on the 3rd day of our travel when we departed from Reykjavik and traveled south. Why is this route so popular? Because in one day (it can be done as a day trip from Reykjavik) you can see three characteristic landscapes of Iceland; waterfall, geothermal area, and valley between tectonic plates.

🥈 Exploring the Great Himalayan National Park, Tirthan Valley, Himachal Pradesh, India. by @pravesh0

You might already know that I love to travel and explore places, especially in the mountains. This week I went on such a journey to my neighbouring state of Himachal Pradesh. We initially planned for Kedarnath but for some reason had to drop that plan. But luckily we had some other plans. We left for Himachal Pradesh in the early morning of the 25th... it was going to be a long journey. Taking us more than 12 hours. We stopped only to eat or when we felt bored enough. It was a loooong drive but we managed to reach our destination, the Tirthan Valley. We planned to hike in the Great Himalayan National Park.

🥉 Sainte-Chapelle, Paris, 2022 by @rubencress

King Louis IX commissioned the construction of the Sainte-Chapelle in 1242! It took about 7 years to completely finish the chapel, but it was already in use in 1248. And back in 13th century, the Royal Courtyard was located at the Île de la Cité, which was later moved to the Louvre and Versailles. The chapel was intended to house the 22 religious relics that King Louis IX started to collect in 1239. One of the most ancient relics was the Crown of Christ "Crown of Thorns". Due to all these relics, Paris became the head of Western Christianity.
