🥇 Looking for Vinatovača rainforest by @dejan.vuckovic

They say that somewhere, between the peaks of Kucaj mountains, there is one of the last rainforests in Europe. Vinatovača is the largest, some say the densest and most mysterious rainforest in Serbia. The tree has not been cut down there for three hundred years. The human foot didn't set foot in some parts of the forest. Trees are born, live, and die without ever getting to know people and their crimes. Animals do not know about hunters and are not afraid of people. A dying tree stays in the forest forever. Sounds like a real destination in golden autumn, right?

🥈 Rudňany - Abandoned mine west by @photoparadise

This is how the west mine in Rudňany ended up. Its once crowded halls and buildings, full of miners digging into the depths of the earth, are only reminiscent of torsos. It's sad that mining has fallen like this. On the other hand, if the mines had worked, I probably wouldn't have been here today and photographed a production hall and a functioning administrative building.

🥉 The Home of Guinness by @lyubo19

Gigi took a picture of me with the house because I am a big football/soccer fan and every time when I see stuff like this my heart beats faster :) In my opinion, this is an act of patriotism.Dublin is a very cool place for visit. I recommend everyone who visits this city to check out the Guinness House and the area around it - the pubs and restaurants there are really amazing! C'mon the dubs!
