#1 Travelreport VI - Bagan, Myanmar

@worldcapture went to Bangan in Myanmar recently. Bangan used to have over ten thousand temples between the 11th and 13th century and today it still has over two thousand left. At Bangan, he rents a scooter to go around the area, and specifically to View Tower for the golden hour & sunset. Day one sunset was stunning except he didn't have the correct lens to take some photos to share with us. Day 2 sunrise was at 0546, but sadly it was foggy and difficult to take photos. He struck lucky on the third attempt for the sunset, except that the viewpoint was jam packed with lots of other people who were there as well. Nevertheless, the beautiful sunset was absolutely worth it.

#2 High Sierra Adventures - Dusy Basin

@derekrichardson has gone hiking in California USA again. This time he and his mates goes to Dusy Basin which is where they camp for the first night in preparation for the big hike the next day. The destination is the 12662ft summit called Columbine peak. It's @derekrichardson's second visit here, and when he and his mates arrive they take some photos on the summit block called the diving board. This is a big block that sticks out like a diving board and can be a bit scary for some. The ends his hike back at the Dusy Basin camp for the second night and when he leaves on the day third, it starts to rain perfect timing to finish his hike.
