How about an urban header this time? I tend to like green a lot, so the top photos are always forests. Blame living in a desert my whole life.

I intended to take the picture closer to his statue, but there was so many people over there. And I don't have such courage. Maybe next year, I will try again.

This is a picture I took while at Fort Sumter. Might be a tad blurry because I had to rush to take it before people saw that I was doing a darn pony photoshoot, but I really like the angle and look of it of it.

Twilight: "Next time the girls and I want to put on a stage play, we're coming out here!"
Princess Twilight's scoping out the ancient Greek theatre located at the very top of the small town of Taormina, which itself is located on the island of Sicily. The theatre was originally constructed in the Third Century BC, and was designed purposefully to have an outward view towards Mt. Etna, which can be seen far in the background.

237 Applejack Gazing on Devil's Lake in Wisconsin - Pegapnea
My favorite pic from my time at Devil's Lake State Park this year. When I brought an Applejack plush to get a picture for Ponies Around the World, I never expected to get a shot like this! I wish I had gotten some shots with Applejack closer to the camera, but that's what I get for trying to do these without my family seeing. XD Regardless, this would probably have stayed my favorite.

251 You're too kind, liz. No, really. - Frith
Flutter getting a little motherly help. Moutherly help. Help with hatching. Some reptiles do it. Fluttershy managed to scurry away before the giant lizard could puke breakfast on her. It was a bit more kindness and generosity than one pony could stomach.

260 Derpy and Lyra visit the 'Center of the World' - Jeffrey Garlock
'Center of the World' is a place in northeast Ohio with an interesting name that relates far more to its past and promise as a hub of commerce than its present state of affairs; still it has a sense of uniqueness that might make it suitable for submitting for this event. Enough perhaps to make folks smile that I took a purposeful road trip simply to snap a photograph of Derpy and Lyra perched atop a probe I planted in the ground beneath a sign that bears a name belonging to another time.

274 Twilight at Giovanni's LGBTQ Bookstore, Philadelphia, PA - Boardgamebrony
Twilight Sparkle at Giovanni's Bookstore in downtown Philadelphia, PA. The bookstore was a key location for the meetup of LGBTQ folk over the course of several decades. Out of all the stores I've seen, only Powell's City of Books in Portland, Oregon, rivals the selection of LGBTQ books in one bookstore. I was thrilled to see such a well-stocked transgender section as well. A very comforting place indeed.

275 Sunny, Vinyl and Pinkie at Niagra Falls, NY - Boardgamebrony
I took my pony figures to Niagra Falls, NY, so Sunny, Vinyl and Pinkie could take part in a beautiful shot across the water to Niagra Falls, Ontario. I did get a shot of the falls themselves, but the shining city rising up across the Canadian border was far more inspiring to me. I've always loved far off places which seem unreachable, but that gorgeous city was one trip away across a (literally called) Rainbow Bridge. I'd never been to Niagra Falls before and don't know if I ever will again, but I made sure to share that moment with all of you by immortalizing it with these three characters.

276 Pinkie viewing Pittsburgh Skyline, Pittsburgh, PA - Boardgamebrony
While at Anthrocon 2018, I got to visit the top of the Westin Convention Center with Pinkie Pie staring at the Pittsburgh skyline. I have never seen such a perfect photographic point in a city and the setup of these buildings was such a natural composition in itself that it felt like I had stepped into a comic book. If it weren't for the Ponies Around the World event, I don't think I would have had the forethought to look for beautiful moments like this. I'm really thankful for that.

277 Pinkie at Cadillac Ranch, Amarillo, TX - Boardgamebrony
The first location I visited for the Ponies Around the World event this year was Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, TX. Located outside the isolated Texas city, Cadillac Ranch was created by an artist who half-buried about 10 Cadillacs in the desert outside of town. Visitors are allowed to spraypaint signs and messages over each Cadillac, creating a thick layer of spraypaint over a long period of time. I felt so calm visiting this place at sunset, seeing this expression of self dotting the desert landscape in a moment of peace I had been looking for for a long time. Pinkie's presence in the pic made it all the more meaningful to me as I saw the melding of my love for pony and my desire for exploration all in one image.

283 Rarity Takes In the Fabulous Lake Oswego Skyline - âš¡Bolt the Super-Ponyâš¡
"Why, this view is simply devine!" Photo was taken from the summit of Mt. Sylvania aka Nansen Summit, at Nansen Summit Park. Fun fact: Lake Oswego is the fourth richest city in the state of Oregon, located just south of Portland (where I live), and this is the best view that I could find there. More fun facts: many locals refer to the city simply as "L.O.", and Oswego Lake is very heavily contested as those living around the lake claim that it's private while many others think it should be public. The debate is so heated it's now made its way to the Oregon Supreme Court!
P.S.: Since it's linked I want to mention that while I do occasionally upload photos to my DeviantArt page, I update my Twitter feed a lot more often. You can find me at @SuperPonyBolt.
