Our winners today 🍍


🥇 Floating monasteries: So high in the sky by @koenau

"For visitors who arrive today at the bottom of the plain at the foot of the towering cliffs and look up, it is inconceivable that the first hermitages here in Meteora were supposed to have been built as early as the 11th century. Back when there were no cranes, no concrete and only hand-turned sides, monks set about building a monastery on top of the rocks."

🥈 Vatican City - City to City Tour 041 by @fronttowardenemy

"Next up was a room called the map room. I'm pretty sure there were maps on the walls, but I was looking up the whole time. This ceiling was my absolute favorite part of the Vatican tour. Unfortunately, our stupid guide rushed us through here in order to see the Sistine Chapel."

🥉 Dordogne River Valley Series: Brantôme by @discoveringarni

"A leisurely stroll in the quaint neighboring village of Bourdeilles took us to Brantôme, the Venice of Périgord. It is hailed as one of the most beautiful villages in Périgord Vert or Green Perigord and is located north of Périgueux."

      😃Thanks for reading through. Never know what you might pounce upon in a park. I’ve been on the look out since. 😂😂

      Wow! Awesome! Thank you @choogirl and the @pinmapple team!

      I thought my Vatican post didn't make yesterday's Travel Digest because of too many ceiling pictures 😁. Looks like I just published it too late.

      Thank you for the Silver Medal!

      You're welcome!

      The cut-off varies depending on when whoever is writing the post writes it. Plus we are all in different time zones so there's no set time.

      Those ceiling pics were great but we also look at the story too. We typically don't rely on just one or the other but how interesting a post is overall.
