🥇 LYRBE (SELEUKIA) ANCIENT CITY / LYRBE ( SELEUKİA) ANTİK KENT ( EN-TR) by @passenger777

I've tried climbing the foothills of the Taurus Mountains in the Mediterranean region several times. Although I didn't reach the summit, I explored many of the natural beauties nearby, including the canyons and cliffs. But when I started exploring the ancient city of Lyrbe (Seleukeia), which I discovered a few weeks ago, this journey became less of a climb and more of a discovery where I felt the traces of the past. This ancient city, hidden by pine trees and tall yellow grasses, stood there on the hilltop, integrated with nature. The fact that the ruins, defying centuries, were lost in nature made Lyrbe even more mysterious for me.

🥈 Echoes of a forgotten era. [Radha-Rani Palace, Barsana] by @steemflow

There is always something fascinating stories that were left behind in old ancient building. On my recent visit to Barsana, a small village in UP quite popular for birth place of Radha Rani, I noticed this fort atop a hill. On the cloudy weather, and greenary ridge all around the striking palace is asking to be explored. The palace like architecture with grand domes, chhatris (pavilions), and the distinct blue-roofed walkways cascading down the hillside are iconic landmarks of this sacred pilgrimage destination. Curious to know more about it, I went to explore the place.

🥉 Hiking along a new trail to a relaxing viewpoint – Forest Park 📷 Málaga – Spain by @avdesing

What motivates me most when I go hiking in the hills or in a forest park is reaching the highest points and being surprised by the views they offer, the various viewpoints, but also what I come across along the way, exploring new areas and what I might spot amongst the vegetation.
