Ciutadella, Menorca (Spain)

Taken in Ciutadella, Menorca (Spain), a small Balearic Island, during the Sant Joan festivities, which are celebrated every 24th of June during the summer solstice. San Joan is the most ancient and crowded fiesta and the horse is the star of the festivity. The dark and shiny locally-bred horses are dressed up with ribbons and rosettes and mounted by the proud cavallers in their matching black costumes. One by one they parade along the plaza. While they are greeted by the crowd, the riders let the horses rear up on their two hind legs as long and frequently as they can. These festivities are loved and awaited by the islanders.

Champs Elysée and L'Arc de Triomphe 2022

While most people have climbing to the top of the Eiffel Tower on their bucket list, I would argue that the Arc de Triomphe is the best way to see all of Paris. With views in every direction, you get a beautiful view of the sparkling Tour Eiffel next to the famous Champs Elysée (pictured).

Nara's deer are very famous. Even though some of them are very rude, the deer I met are all friendly to me. Such a wonderful experience to feed them. I believe the deer loved me ❤
