Ponies Around the World submissions have officially closed, and we have a swarm of traveling equines to show off! Pretty much every continent aside from Antartica has strong representation this year, with quite a bit more far-east stuff than previous years. Apparently the fandom is growing over there or something!
Below the break, get day one of three! Expect the next two sets over the next two days as they are done compiling.
UPDATE: Submissions are still closing on the 20th, I just forgot to re-set my alarm!

My family and I were camping far from the civilization in Washington State and I thought Fluttershy would really enjoy observing the nature at this quiet stream.

13 Watching The Sunset - EddoEditya28
While I was staying for one night at Fairmont Jakarta in January 2017, I decided to take a photo of my DJ PON3 mini figure on the 22nd floor for this year's PAtW, with a background of Jakarta sunset, looking towards the western part of the city. I was a bit afraid of her since this was a very high spot and the wind was blowing quite strong lol.

27 Pinkie Pie at the Lucky Peak Dam Rooster Tail - Framwinkle
This is a picture I took of the Rooster Tail at Lucky Peak Dam, just a bit east of Boise, Idaho, with Pinkie Pie in the foreground. The Rooster Tail was designed to dissipate the energy of the water coming out of the dam to help prevent erosion, and used to be a near daily occurrence until the power plant was installed. Now they only do it a couple days a year for show if it's a high water year, which it is this year. It's quite impressive in person, with the water shooting over 100 feet into the air.

32 Rainbow Dash at Tunjungan Surabaya Indonesia - AlphaTea
As an usual day. I always go hang out and journey around in my city that I live, Surabaya every weekends but on May, 21st 2017 I decided to went to one of most popular street in Surabaya, "Tunjungan" because at the day there was festival to commemorate the city anniversary on 724th years old and Surabaya as known as the second largest city in Indonesia beside as Jakarta. It is no wonder, many residents immigrants and tourists who come to Surabaya because it offers a lot of charm in every corner of the city that makes anyone feel in love with this city.

33 Fluttershy at LEGOland Malaysia - Mango Island
This was taken last year, when my mom and I went to Singapore/Malaysia, for a little vacation. I brought in my Fluttershy brushable, just so I could prepare for this event. So, as you can see, this is Fluttershy pictured in front of Malaysia's plastic brick theme park, LEGOland Malaysia.

34 Fluttershy at Paoay - Mango Island
And then this year, Fluttershy took a glimpse into the past with a trip to the Province of Ilocos, Philippines. As you can tell, she looked in awe, at the sight of the magnificent 300-year-old, baroque-style St. Augustine Church in Paoay, Ilocos Norte, one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites!

Picture taken at a beach overlooking the Old Bridge in Mostar, one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most recognizable landmarks.

43 Caves beneath Canterlot (Zagreb, Croatia) - theOwtcast
Picture taken in the Grič Tunnel, which was built during the Second World War as a shelter, and runs below ground through the heart of Zagreb. Except for occasional cultural manifestations such as concerts and exhibitions, it was closed to the public until last summer, which wasn't stopping urban explorers from trying to get in (and often getting in trouble in the process).

Luna x Flutterbat ? Sure ! Why not ? Took the opportunity of a meetup in paris. Did with plushies we had. Luna is not mine. Small disclaimer : I removed two persons taking photos just behind the plushies, and increased depth of field blur (which, in addition to help composition, conveniently hid the imperfect hooman-removal) Relevant additional flickr link for non-pony photos : https://www.flickr.com/photos/125455519@N06/with/34681752074/

67 Have Ponies, Will Travel - Shandy Bobandy
Hey guys, You'll probably recognize the bike from last years thing. This was taken around Makaroa on the South Island at the end of a 2 month long camping trip around New Zealand with my pony companions. Gotta say, if you ever wanna know what feels like to be a pegasus, touring somewhere like this on a bike like this is probably the closest you can get. It is truly awesome :) Thanks for all your hard work on EQD over the past 7 years. It'll be interesting to see where we all end up another 7 years down the road..

78 Twilight Sparkle at Suramadu Bridge Indonesia - AlphaTea
Suramadu Bridge or "Jembatan Suramadu" in Indonesian is the first longest bridge in Indonesia. It's linked between Java Island and Madura Island. You can feel and see a beautiful panomara, if you are been here but you can't take photo at the road side if you're not in emergency situation because you will get penalty by the road officers who duties in here. So, I captured this photo while on the car.
