🥇 Night Walk in Downtown Chelyabinsk, Russia · 30 pics by Hive account@alexanderfluke

Chelyabinsk is the largest industrial city in the Southern Ural; almost one and a half million people live here. Recently, more and more new public spaces have been created in the city — places where residents can comfortably spend their free time. However, the main such place in Chelyabinsk has always been and remains downtown — the embankment of the Miass River and the Kirov Street.

🥈 Ja-FUN Ja-FUN in Osaka by Hive account@paulajogalix

We then headed to Dotonbori which is famous for its enormous variety of restaurants and bars.We managed to see the very famous Glico running man. One can’t hardly get a decent photo because of the large crowd of tourists trying to get their own photos. We found an affordable proper resto-bar where we had our dinner and tried sake!We ordered the typical Japanese tempuras to try and to compare the authentic ones versus what we usually have outside Japan.

🥉 My California - The Sphinx Lakes by Hive account@derekrichardson

Eventually I got to the Sphinx creek crossing. Which was where I left the trail and started hiking cross country up the Sphinx creek drainage. This turned out to be much more difficult terrain than I had expected. Lots and lots of thick trees and brush and other fun and exciting obstacles. Finally I made it to the lowest of the Sphinx lakes. And although I had planned on hiking to the upper lakes, I was pretty beat from all the bushwhacking so I called it a day and just made my first camp there.
