Acclimatization. 📷 The Land of High Mountains: Pakistan. </a> by @sharker</b><br><br><p>In the morning I had to get up at 4 a.m. in order to understand the exact time of dawn and try to photograph it. I wanted to sleep terribly, just had to grab myself by the hair and pull out of bed. Since there is almost no hair on my head, so it didn't hurt at all. It was completely dark outside at that time, but is it right to go out before dawn, and not in the midst of it, isn't it? I stood over the cliff, feeling the freshness of my whole body — oh, it would be better if I grab my jacket. All was quiet around, everyone was asleep, even the birds, alone I wandered along the slope and tried to find a good viewpoint. After about half an hour, the top began to emerge. Dark blue sky and glowing snow, just like after sunset — the peak seems to be the most beautiful at this moment, but I think I already said this somewhere at sunset of the last day.</p><p><b><a href='http://www.pinmapple.com/?post=the-land-of-high-mountains-pakistan-day-2-acclimatization'>This post on Pinmapple</a></b> - <b><a href='http://www.pinmapple.com/@sharker'>This user on Pinmapple</a></b></p><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-184437/@sharker/the-land-of-high-mountains-pakistan-day-2-acclimatization'><img src='https://i.imgur.com/7f30BEO.jpg'></a><br><hr><br><b>🥈 <a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@sofathana/eng-esp-excursion-to-the-sierra-nevada-national-park-la-coromoto-and-verde-lagoons-merida-venezuela-excursion-al-parque-nacional'>Excursion to the Sierra Nevada National Park: La Coromoto and Verde lagoons, Mérida, Venezuela</a> by @sofathana</b><br><br><p>The excursion that I'm going to tell you about in this post is a beautiful route between the cold mountains of the Venezuelan Andes, with forests, rivers, lagoons and a spectacular view of the snow that falls on these tropical peaks. The destination was Mérida, the state where the highest mountains in Venezuela are found, it was the first time I camped in high mountains, at more than 3,000 meters.</p><p><b><a href='http://www.pinmapple.com/?post=eng-esp-excursion-to-the-sierra-nevada-national-park-la-coromoto-and-verde-lagoons-merida-venezuela-excursion-al-parque-nacional'>This post on Pinmapple</a></b> - <b><a href='http://www.pinmapple.com/@sofathana'>This user on Pinmapple</a></b></p><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@sofathana/eng-esp-excursion-to-the-sierra-nevada-national-park-la-coromoto-and-verde-lagoons-merida-venezuela-excursion-al-parque-nacional'><img src='https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/gXnQN3B8-079.JPG'></a><br><hr><br><b>🥉 <a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@marianomariano/pulau-sibuan-borneo-malaysia-it-s-not-only-beautiful-beaches-and-coral-reefs'>Pulau Sibuan, Borneo, Malaysia - it's not only beautiful beaches and coral reefs.</a> by @marianomariano</b><br><br><p>We reached the islet of Sibuan by a fast boat from Semporna. It took about 30 minutes. We've been to Pulau Bodghaya, Pulau Mantabuan, and it's time for the last one in our Tun Sakaran Marine Park trip - Pulau Sibuan. We didn't know much about the island, except that like all the villages in the area, it has beautiful beaches and an amazing coral reef. But we didn't know that the natives lived there. Several fishing families with children with whom we stayed for a while. And as it turned out, it was a very nice meeting</p><p><b><a href='http://www.pinmapple.com/?post=pulau-sibuan-borneo-malaysia-it-s-not-only-beautiful-beaches-and-coral-reefs'>This post on Pinmapple</a></b> - <b><a href='http://www.pinmapple.com/@marianomariano'>This user on Pinmapple</a></b></p><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@marianomariano/pulau-sibuan-borneo-malaysia-it-s-not-only-beautiful-beaches-and-coral-reefs'><img src='https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/marianomariano/Y0thDi8x-sib09.jpg'></a><br><hr><h2>Honorable Mentions</h2><ul><li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@bossel/dali-old-town-part-2-altstadt-teil-2'>Dali - Old Town,  China</a> by @bossel</li><li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@aleister/trip-to-monte-da-mesquita-arraiolos-alentejo-or-portugal'>Trip to Monte da Mesquita / Arraiolos, Alentejo, Portugal</a> by @aleister</li><li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-104387/@slobberchops/tales-of-the-urban-explorer-hill-view'>Tales of the Urban Explorer: Hill View, Pennington Green, UK</a> by @slobberchops</li><li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@pablo1601/sierra-de-los-padres-un-hermoso-lugar-para-conectar-con-la-naturaleza-sierra-de-los-padres-a-beautiful-place-to-connect-with'>A beautiful place to connect with nature, Sierra de los padres, Argentina</a> by @pablo1601</li><li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-184437/@mustavi/wonderful-evening-at-sugandha-beach-delicious-food-at-the-mouth-of-word-s-longest-sandy-beach'>Wonderful Evening at Sugandha Beach, Kolatoli Beach, Bangladesh</a> by @mustavi<li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@damm-steemit/registan-a-square-of-three-madrasahs-samarkand-uzbekistan'>Registan – a square of three madrasahs, Samarkand, Uzbekistan</a> by @damm-steemit</li><li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@evagavilan2/malta-sky-stone-and-sea-malta-cielo-piedra-y-mar'>Sky, stone and sea, Malta</a> by @evagavilan2</li><li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@deerjay/a-misty-day-and-the-end-of-the-trail'>A Misty Day and The End Of The Trail, Towson, USA</a> by @deerjay</li><li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-114105/@tatdt/wooden-chalets'>Wooden chalets, Peterhof, Russia</a> by @tatdt</li><ul><hr><br><h2>Support pinmapple and Haveyoubeenhere</h2><strong>The more support we get, the more we can give back!
