Our winners today 🍍


🥇 Visit Weston-Super-Mare by @rimicane

Evening came, the water was still out. We decided to check the far end of the beach driving to the Old Pier. The sign informed us of Anchor Head and Birnbeck.The Old Pier looked derelict and unloved but had such a charm! I could feel history running through this place, imagining how it once been buzzing with people and life. We stood looking down the cliff, onto the pier and island in the far distance. We followed the path down the hill in the direction of the Grand Pier. The area was tidy and had a few points of access to the Bristol Channel. In the sunny warm weather, the walk felt relaxing like on vacation in a hot country.

🥈 So-rae Tidal Marsh Ecology Park by @abitcoinskeptic

The water reflecting off the salt ponds is quite shiny, that is because salt is a crystal, water is reflective and it is smooth as glass. Although quite picturesque and romantic, the salt industry isn't profitable anymore. Incheon is the 3rd largest city in Korea and the 2nd largest port. It's the port of Seoul and becoming an increasingly expensive place. Salt flats are making way for apartment buildings. There is never enough room for people. In this picture, we are looking towards the coast. However, there are a couple of kilometres of apartment buildings in between here and the coast. I guess it was nice to leave some natural space.

🥉 Thai "underwater" Temple and the Mon Village by @julee

The underwater temple is the old temple of Luang Pho Uthama before the river Wirachong Dam was built. And during the flooding season it literally disappears underwater. Facing this issue, they rebuilt the temple at the current place and use the name of Wat Wang Wiwekaram. During the dry season, the Temple is fully exposed and can be visited by boat. It has stood the test of time and water. Built in 1953 it is on land surrounded by rivers. A dam that was built raises the waters and floods the area. Travel in the time of March-April may give you the best time to see the "underwater temple".
