Our winners today 🍍


🥇 A Gyrocopter Aerial Tour of Moalboal (Philippines) With Friends by @iamyohann

This aircraft is my work tool. I use it to fly people around the area of Moalboal in South Cebu, Philippines. At least, it is what I used to do until Covid19 happened. I stopped the gyrocopter tours last March 22nd and until now I am still not allowed to resume operations. However, our quarantine restrictions were relaxed a bit on May 20th and so since then, I have been keeping busy with maintenance and solo test flights to make sure the gyrocopter stays in good condition.

🥈 Auroville: An Experimental Town Of Consciousness by @elsaenroute

Auroville is an experimental township. The underlying philosophies are based on Integral Yoga coined by Sri Aurobindo. Auroville is an experimental town designed by The Mother for people from any nation can come together, practice it in their lives.The ultimate goal is to be one with "The Divine" and follow the consciousness. These are a few of my understandings. There is much more details and information to get a clear picture of the concepts.

🥉 TRAVELING TO EGYPT: In times of turmoil. by @biggypauls

Arriving at the dive site the disdain of cameras was felt by myself also, just as we were about to enter the water for no explainable reason my camera would not turn on, the battery had been fully charged and even swapping it out for another yielded no result. I was gutted I had waited years to dive this wreck and at the last moment my camera lets me down, oh well i'm going to enjoy this anyway.

      Hey there, you can go to https://pinmapple.com/ click on the 'get code' at the top of the map and follow the instructions or check out the FAQ to get your post on the map. If you still have any questions, feel free to jump onto our Discord anytime

      Thanks ....added the code to my post. Does it take a while to get listed on the map ?

      You should have got the auto comment confirming it's on the map by now. A little tip, photography speaks a thousand words especially great ones and we love them, but if you can add some context to your post to make it more of a travel post it increase your chance of being curated. We are afterall a travel curation guild 😉

      Great, thanks. Will add more text to my photography
