Recently, more and more new public spaces have been created in the city — places where residents can comfortably spend their free time. However, the main such place in Chelyabinsk has always been and remains downtown — the embankment of the Miass River and the Kirov Street.</p><p><b><a href='http://www.pinmapple.com/?post=night-walk-in-downtown-chelyabinsk-russia-30-pics'>This post on Pinmapple</a></b> - <b><a href='http://www.pinmapple.com/@alexanderfluke'>This user on Pinmapple</a></b></p><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@alexanderfluke/night-walk-in-downtown-chelyabinsk-russia-30-pics'>![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pinmapple/3t3axt0d-image.png)

One can’t hardly get a decent photo because of the large crowd of tourists trying to get their own photos.  We found an affordable proper resto-bar where we had our dinner and tried sake!We ordered the typical Japanese tempuras to try and to compare the authentic ones versus what we usually have outside Japan.</p><p><b><a href='http://www.pinmapple.com/?post=ja-fun-ja-fun-in-osaka'>This post on Pinmapple</a></b> - <b><a href='http://www.pinmapple.com/@paulajogalix'>This user on Pinmapple</a></b></p><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@paulajogalix/ja-fun-ja-fun-in-osaka'><img src='https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/paulajogalix/7dYyyFqx-image.png'></a><br><hr><br><b>🥉 <a href='https://peakd.com/hive-109313/@derekrichardson/my-california-the-sphinx-lakes'>My California - The Sphinx Lakes</a> by @derekrichardson</b><br><br><p>Eventually I got to the Sphinx creek crossing. Which was where I left the trail and started hiking cross country up the Sphinx creek drainage. This turned out to be much more difficult terrain than I had expected. Lots and lots of thick trees and brush and other fun and exciting obstacles. Finally I made it to the lowest of the Sphinx lakes. And although I had planned on hiking to the upper lakes, I was pretty beat from all the bushwhacking so I called it a day and just made my first camp there.</p><p><b><a href='http://www.pinmapple.com/?post=my-california-the-sphinx-lakes'>This post on Pinmapple</a></b> - <b><a href='http://www.pinmapple.com/@derekrichardson'>This user on Pinmapple</a></b></p><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-109313/@derekrichardson/my-california-the-sphinx-lakes'><img src='https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/derekrichardson/1hLbMkcs-Sphinx20cover.png'></a><br><hr><h2>Honorable Mentions</h2><ul><li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@damm-steemit/hike-along-the-ispay-say-gorge-uzbekistan'>Hike, Ispay-say gorge,  Uzbekistan</a> by @damm-steemit</li><li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-184437/@katiefreespirit/bakken-a-unique-amusement-park-with-wooden-rollcoster-afro-cups-ghost-train-and-viking-ship-dragon'>Amusement park, Bakken, Denmark</a> by @katiefreespirit</li><li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@alequandro/visit-to-the-path-of-water-carbonare-of-folgaria-trentino-alto-adige-part-i-discovering-italy-with-alequandro'>Walk, Folgaria, Italy</a> by @alequandro</li><li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-165469/@scrodinger/mini-sculptures-small-but-weighty-reasons-to-visit-uzhhorod-15-christina-chucky-and-miklos-bercheni-ua-en'>Sculpture, Uzhhorod, Hungary</a> by @scrodinger</li><li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-184437/@maitt87/second-day-in-the-city-of-london'>City, London, UK</a> by @maitt87</li><li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@appleskie/ardent-hibok-hibok-spring-resort-a-total-hot-spring-leisure'>Hot spring, Camiguin Island, The Philippines</a> by @appleskie</li><li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@justinparke/cruiser-crit-competitive-costumed-bike-racing-salida-colorado'>Bike race, Colorado, USA</a> by @justinparke</li><li><a href='https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@ybanezkim26/kamp-aninipot-and-siquijor'>Island, Siquijor, The Philippines</a> by @ybanezkim26</li><ul><hr><br><h2>Support pinmapple and Haveyoubeenhere</h2><strong>The more support we get, the more we can give back!
