#1 On the rocks of "Divdyadovo" in Bulgaria by @vesytz

This Sunday with friends we traveled to the town Shumen, next to the rock site, which is located near Shumen district "Divdyadovo". We stopped the cars near to Hotel Bohemi and walked through the forest along a short and not very steep path. After a short transition, we reached the rock object, which grew with its beautiful shapes and surface. The object is a scale separated from the main plateau. It is located at the foot of the plateau itself and is enclosed from the west, north and east from the hills forming the plateau. The site is protected by wind and the rocks are south. This makes the site a favorite place for climbing during autumn, sunny and spring days.

#2 Beauties of Yucatan: the enchanting cenote of Yax-Kin by @phortun

I am here with another episode of my Beauties of Yucatan series. This time around, I will take you to another amazing Yucatan cenote - the cenote of Yax-Kin. Cenote is basically a sinkhole that formed naturally after a limestone bedrock above it collapsed. There are more than 6,000 cenotes just on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, many of which have been opened to public. The Yax-Kin Cenote is one of the less known cenotes, which comes with a great benefit - it is not crowded as some of the most popular cenotes of the area.

#3 The Edges Of Twilight by @metametheus

I find myself in the Redwood Forest. This is strange... because these trees are not native to Australia. They were planted in the 1930's alongside other pines and cedars as part of the Board of Works' hydrogogy research project. equoia forests in their native California are not like this either — these trees were planted in exact rows, which gives the space an odd geometric quality. This is very different to the native bushland and temperate rainforests I enjoy visiting when I need time alone in nature, away from people and cars and hustle and bustle. The ground is soft and I can feel the carpet of pine needles under my feet; it's also eerily silent — there is no birdsong in this forest. Our birds probably don't know what to make of these strange alien trees. Or maybe there is a different Dreaming here, one of silence and solitude.
