Our winners today

🥇 Wolf Beans: purple beauty or invasive species? A trip to Ingjaldshóll. by @astinmin

In Iceland, the lupines are blooming right now. Last year, I missed this spectacle, so this summer I was eagerly awaiting the appearance of the purple carpets. I was very curious to see how the comparison between expectation and reality would turn out. To check it out, I had to go on a little trip because the area around my town is a lupine-free zone ;) I have many favorite spots around, one of which is a small church on a hill next to the abandoned Ingjaldshóll farm. The church looks incredibly picturesque regardless of the season. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that lupines are growing along the road leading to it!

🥈 Spiš Castle and Spišská Kapitula, Slovakia by @belico

Spiš Castle is located on the top of Spišská Hradný Vrch. Its height is around 200 meters. The castle is surrounded by flatlands. The view from the towers extends for many kilometers. On clear days the size of the castle, covering 4 hectares, is evident. The height of the castle walls ranges from 20 to 40 meters in various places. In the Middle Ages it was nearly inaccessible to enemy attacks.

🥉 The circle of needless pain and suffering, and a few bits and bobs. Sevilla Spain by @grindle

The Plaza de Toros de Sevilla is the largest and seemingly most important arena for bullfighting in Spain, where the largest bullfighting festival in the world is held during the Feria de Abril festival. It is also the oldest formal bull ring ( although it is oval in shape) in Spain, construction took many years to complete, starting in 1761, it was finally finished some 80 years later. It has a capacity for 14,000 spectators.
