🥇 A Journey of Faith Discovering Bang Riang Temple's Wonders by @baibuaza

Bang Riang Temple, also known as Rat Upatham Temple, was an ancient sanctuary situated in Thap Put District, Phang Nga Province. This sacred place held a rich history filled with stories of devotion and tranquility. Perched atop Khao Lan, it was where human craftsmanship met the wonders of nature. At its core stood a breathtaking statue of Goddess Kuan Yin, radiating an aura of compassion that seemed to touch every visitor. Her eyes held a wisdom that felt boundless, gazing out over the lush landscape below. In a corner of the temple, safeguarded by majestic stone lions, rested the revered relics of Phra Buddha. Here, one could find the ashes of Chainak Prok and the towering Phra Mahathat Chedi. This spot felt like a bridge between our world and something greater.

🥈 Hiking to the Hot Springs by @derangedvisions

Yesterday, my wife, her sister and I went on a hike to the Fifth Water Hot Springs in Springville, Utah. The mountains are beautiful this time of year as the leaves are changing and beginning to fall. We had to leave our house pretty early in the morning because the trails can get very busy this time of year because everyone wants to see the fall colors.

🥉 Harry Potter Part 2! Deu/Eng by @lxsxl

After we had rested a bit halfway through the tour and slowly started to process the great impressions, we of course also wanted to check out the other sets. and there were still a lot of things left from the Harry Potter films that we hadn't seen yet. And right in the next hall there was the next highlight for us, the Hogwarts Express! Full size with steaming chimney. You could walk through the entire train and each compartment was beautifully decorated with props from the films.
