🥇 Into the Sulphur Point | Escaping to a Dangerous Area by @glecerioberto

To escape my inner dangerous thoughts, I decided to go out of the conference venue. I went to its backyard and into an actual Dangerous Area. Lake Rotorua is actually a Caldera. It's a wide and shallow crater created by a volcanic eruption that happened thousands of years ago. There's still volcanic activity around the lake and even the city. Part of the lake was Sulphur Point, which is a wildlife sanctuary. It's called Sulphur Point because it has fumes of Hydrogen sulphide coming out of the ground. There are also sulphur mounds, geothermal gases, steam, sulphur fires (didn't see this though), boiling water, and mud pools.

🥈 Gretna Green - Scotland, but only just! by @nathen007

Under a cloudless, cornflower blue sky, we headed from Pontefract up the A1 North to Scotch Corner and then a left onto the A66 which provides a natural, picturesque boundary between the incredible Yorkshire Dales and the equally stunning North Pennines area of natural beauty before picking up the M6 at Penrith, which becomes the A74 and after only a two and half hour drive, crosses the border into Scotland at Gretna. Yes, back to Gretna Green, home of the world-famous Blacksmiths Forge where back in the days of auld, young English couples would go to be married to avoid the age restrictions of marriage in England which the Scots, who in my opinion are so far south they barely count as Scots, would happily marry anyone as long as they were paying.

🥉 Jeep Tour - Widodaren Mountain, East Java by @viviehardika

My story this time is still related to the Bromo Semeru Tenggreng National Park trip. After seeing the sunrise on Mount Bromo from Bukit Cinta, we continued our journey using a Jeep to Mount Widodaren. From there we will not only see Mount Widodaren because we can also see Mount Batok which is equally beautiful.
