Our winners today 🍍

🥇 The Space Museum and Mini City by @tatdt

There are several interesting objects in front of the museum, including an experimental rocket, a rocket engine pavilion and the descent vehicle of the Comet topographic satellite. The descent vehicle attracts the most attention. It was designed to take high-precision stereo photos, which were used to determine terrain and create topographic images. The apparatus is fitted with several transparent windows so you can look inside. The surface of these windows is very reflective, but I held the camera close to the surface and the shot came out quite sharp.

🥈 The Golden Glory of Phra That In Hang by @baibuaza

The tranquility of the temple was one of its most striking features. Unlike many other temples in the area, it was not overrun with tourists or crowded with noisy visitors. Instead, it had a peaceful and serene atmosphere that allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the spiritual energy of the place.

🥉 Citania of Santa Luzia. Viana do Castelo -Portugal by @theycallmedre

When visiting Citânia de Santa Luzia on a sunny afternoon, you can experience a fascinating journey into the past. Citânia is one of the most important archaeological sites in Portugal and offers visitors a unique insight into the culture and way of life of the pre-Roman peoples who inhabited the region. However, I add that you should always go to Castro S Lourenço already mentioned in a previous post. There you can see the houses in great condition and even with a roof. Furthermore, S. Lourenço is free, which is a great advantage compared to these
