🥇 ????James Peak Wilderness Area???? Destination 1 of 5-Forest Lakes by @solcycler

The rawest form of natural medicine is to be out in nature. You don't have to consume Terra Firma's vegetation to receive the benefits. Just being out in the sun supplies your body with nutrients and any exercise is good exercise. Here's a great area to visit and practice walking meditation to pamper your mind and heart. The James's Peak Wilderness is great area within a hours drive of Denver, Colorado for day and multi-day hiking in the Front Range area of the Colorado Rockies Mountains. With five different hikes from just one of its trailheads, there are plenty to choose from and reason to return.

🥈 FLASHBACK | La Pedriza, The Best Nature Experience in Spain? by @elsiekjay

I love nature. Back home in Kenya we are very much integrated with it, I think if you watch my videos them you probably know what I am talking about. I love being around plants, beautiful flowers {though there were none here, but there were some pretty amazing tress),rocks(there were plenty of those here), and basically anything else that screams nature The walk to the top of the rocks is abit long, but isn't that the beauty of hiking? Maybe it isn't that long and I was/am just unfit, but at some point I was so exhausted and heavy panting, I did fine though. The beauty of nature and the environment that surrounds it may have taken some of that pain away.

🥉 A Year Ago in The Vatican by @silversaver888

From Venezia, I proceeded to Vatican City (Stato della Città del Vaticano) to attend the Easter Triduum (Sacrum Triduum Paschale) traditionally officiated by the Most Holy Father, Pope Francis. On regular days when there are no special and major events at the Vatican that draws huge crowds, vehicular traffic is allowed around the perimeter of Piazza San Pietro. St Peter’s Square is in front of St Peter's Basilica. During the Holy Week, people, pilgrims, and tourists must walk some distance to St. Peter's Basilica.
