Upvotes of the Week is a weekly curation post - presenting Sndbox fellow content and highlighting creative / impactful work by the greater Steemit community. (Part of the SBD earned from this post will be split among the authors featured below.)


Hive account@erb: I have always been fascinated by satellite images of our solar system. The textures and terrains of the planets, moons and asteroids around us (and beneath us) have often found their way into my drawings, and flipping through the images often sparks new ideas for my collection of short stories. In each post in this series, I will present one of my original drawings alongside a resource for incredible satellite images. I hope to spread the wealth of knowledge that can be found in these lesser-known resources and most importantly pass along that feeling of wonder we all experience when peering into outer space.

A steemit user and programmer
Hive account@nhj12311 commissioned a character design so he can use for profile image on his
Hive account@steem.apps account and GitHub page. He had a simple request: a cute character based on 3x3 cube. The silhouette of
Hive account@steem.apps is obviously a square but I added a bit of curvatures on the silhouette for extra cuteness and bounciness.
Hive account@roused: Here is an amazing tool which allows you to experience Venice like never before – it is truly the next best thing to being there. Venice is a city without automobiles, a maze of narrow cobblestone alleyways, sidewalk, and countless bridges. If you've never been, you have the chance to experience Venice in virtual reality thanks to Google Street Maps. As implausible as it seems, Google found a way to capture the city with their high definition 360 degree cameras.
Hive account@soyo: Everybody liked Nintendo games when they were kids? Here is pixel art using classic color and animation. Let's go into the memories of Nintendo game together.
@GuyFawkes4-20:
Last Saturday I was at a photo shoot with a couple of my colleagues since we’re finishing the year, our last year together, so we’re making albums as memories. We split into two groups on two different days, and I luckily was scheduled at the same time as the ones that are weirder, the crazy ones.

Hive account@howtostartablog: Hi guys, I'm stopping the contest for daily food photography from now on, so there won't be any more compilation posts after this. However,

Hive account@osm0sis: Here is the 10th episode of my great-grandfather's life seen through his watercolor paintings. This time, we discover what farms and the countryside looked like more than 60 years ago in the region of Bresse, France.


Hive account@jeffbernst: This might sound weird at first, but when you upvote someone on Steemit, DTube, or any other Steem app, you’re not giving them any of your STEEM. Everything in your wallet stays in your possession, so where does the STEEM come from?
Hive account@bree1042: Today's expression is funny bone. OK, I know that there are more than two hundred bones in a human body, but what is a funny bone? Where is it located? Funny bone is the outer part of the elbow that may cause severe pain if you get hit. But it also means your sense of humor.
Hive account@kenan1989: We face hundreds of decision each day some are minor some are big. Sometimes making the right decisions is really hard. I personally also had tough situation about making good decision. I hope you liked my post about making good decision.
Hive account@fingersik: The time has come. I have roughly 2 months to finish the work, therefore it’s just about the time to start not only reading relevant documents, but actually writing the thesis. I would be super interested in any feedback, be it suggestions what to add, remittance to bad construction of individual sentences, or mere typos. Without further delay, behold the preface!


Hive account@paolobeneforti: Probably most of you knows what happened in many western Countries during the 1968, and how deeply that impacted life, culture and politics in the following decades. If you are too young to know it - or you live in a Country absolutely untouched by those happenings - you can read it on Wikipedia.
Hive account@ayijufridar: Earthquake disasters always seem to follow wherever Abdul Munir (27 years) left. While in Aceh, the young man from Blang Jruen, Tanah Luas sub-district, North Aceh district, suffered a devastating earthquake on December 26, 2004. An earthquake measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale followed by the tsunami killed more than 200,000 people in Aceh province (Indonesia), to the residence of Abdul Munir because the sea is far from his home. Abdul Munir survived the earthquake. When Abdul Munir moved to Padang City, West Sumatra, to study at the State University of Padang, he also experienced a magnitude 7.9 earthquake on 30 September 2009 ago. At that time, Munir and his friends just got back from campus. They sit around while enjoying Aceh coffee brought from the village. Suddenly they feel a tremendous shock.

Hive account@alvinauh: This post examines the idea of eliminating teachers completely from the system. This post justifies and support the notion with a few examples. All this examples lead to the conclusion which suggests a future for education that may be different from what we have now.

Hive account@jassennessaj: My long term vision is to make Steemit as a social media platform for students. One most important thing aside from earnings is being in a community that provides thoughtful information. A place where everyone learns almost everything and that these contents are created for Steemit.
Hive account@aaronleang: When you have Steemians in town, BHB is the must stop restaurant.
