• Ponies Around the World 2021 - The Ponies! (Part 1)

    Poniko is the best convention OC. This is an irrefutable fact.


    Ponies Around the World continued forward with it's oldschool style after last year's "At home" version. Unfortunately about halfway through the virus's Delta form decided to ravage the unvaxed, but we still have a good amount of submissions of ponies hanging out at major places around the world anyway!


    Below the break, check out everyone's submissions. Thanks to everyone for showing off such amazing places every year. Now I desperately want to travel. Hopefully we will get a handle on this virus soon! Now go look at ponies in places below!

    Twilight investigates a runestone on the island of Öland, east of Sweden. The Karlevi rune stone was erected at the end of the viking age, about the year 1000 A.D. The runes state, among other things, the following: "This stone was stands [to remember] Sibbe the Good, Son of Foldar. His follower erected it on this island, oathsworn man to the dead."



    19 Twilight's Journey Through Sweden- Ale's Stones - Silvermyr

    Art image 19
    Twilight gazes proudly over the stone-ship megalith of Ale's Stones in southern Sweden. The megalith was probably erected built sometime in the 600-800, the nordic iron age. It was most likely a grave monument. It also functions as a sun calendar, with certain stones aligning with the sun at the summer solstice

It located on East Kalimantan, Indonesia

    They're now exploring more deep into the forest and then found the colourful staircases . . . Note: Still in the same place btw



    27 - Save

    Art image 27
    I hope that Discord is allowed in this event! I don't have any pony toy, only the Master of Chaos! This is Discord near the Madonna of Monton (la Vierge de Monton), also called Notre-Dame de Monton (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vierge_de_Monton). It's the 4th tallest statue in France (14 meters, 21 with the stand), in the most beautiful region of this country : the Auvergne! It will be 152 years old on the 22nd of August. A particularity of this statue is that it doesn't belongs to the city of Monton or the State itself, but to the inhabitant themselves. [Note: I use a dedicated image hoster]



    28 - Save

    Art image 28
    Discord is in front of the Chaîne des Puys, where you can see its highest point, the Puy de Dôme. This chain of volcanos, which are technically still awake, are a World Heritage Site of the UNESCO since 2018. They are localised in Auvergne (they are part of Auvergne's volcanos), and one of them produce the famous Volvic stone (Pierre de Volvic), a grey-black lava stone used in Auvergne for buildings, that provides a unique look to them! For example, look at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption of Clermont-Ferrand, a totally black cathedral!

    Art image 39
    How big is Unity, anyway?! Well, here she visits the Blaues Wunder bridge, one of Dresden's landmarks. The name "blue wonder" yields from the technological miracle at the time (it's from 1893) and maybe the fact that the initial green color turned to blue after so time ;)



    40 Unity at Zwinger Dresden, Germany - Cabraloca

    Art image 40
    This is the Zwinger, a famous Baroque monument in the city of Dresden. Lot's of gold in here!

    Arguably not the most scenic of views around the area, but I can't really travel much, so this'll have to do! Also marks a year (August 3rd) since I got these two, so happy Plushie Birthday to them.



    48 Indentured Ponies - Frith

    Art image 48
    I travel about 8 miles to go to work, but where I work is sooooo exotic that nopony else will be submitting from anywhere within 50 miles at least. Maybe even several hundred! Why travel when you can live in Granby, Quebec, Canada?



    49 Postcard 2021 - Frith

    Art image 49
    This is what is written on the other side of the 'Greetings from unmagical Canterda!' postcard. I mean, if you're to visit such and exotic local as Canada, you might as well write!

    59 Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle on Leopold's Mountain, Vienna (Ponies Around the World 2021) - CMC_Scootaloo

    Art image 59
    It's 2021 now and time for "Ponies Around the World" again! And I am so glad I could finally make a creepy "Ponies Around the World" trip again this year and continue my series of Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle visiting a haunted place in Vienna. This year, Derpy joined them for her first "Ponies Around the World" trip! For "Ponies Around the World 2021", we went onto a mysterious, haunted mountain at the northern border of Vienna, called "Leopold's Mountain" (in german: "Leopoldsberg"). Leopold's Mountain is said to be ridden with a curse that caused countless accidents, murders and suicides. The full story is in the description of the Inkbunny upload!



    60 Alpenglow on Mount Rainier, from Spray Park, WA. - NatureShy

    Art image 60
    I backpacked through the Spray Park area for one night, part of a larger trip to the northwest corner of Mount Rainier National Park to do some filming for Equestria: Into the Wild.



    61 Fluttershy at Spray Falls in Mount Rainier National Park, WA. - NatureShy

    Art image 61
    I stopped by Spray Falls on my return leg from Spray Park. The falls was surprisingly bigger than what appeared in photos! Highly recommend the small side-trip on the way to Spray Falls.



    62 Alpenglow on Mount Adams, sharing with her one of my favorite off-trail spots (view from camp!) - NatureShy

    Art image 62
    I backpacked through Mount Adams for a few days with my Fluttershy, and had this view right from camp. Such a stunning view! The thick cloud cover blocked most of the good sunset-lighting on the mountain, but it poked through just enough to light up the tip of the mountain for a short moment. Definitely will return.



    63 Fluttershy at Tolmie Peak, WA, with the craggy ridges northwest of Mount Rainier beyond - NatureShy

    Art image 63
    Hiked up Tolmie Peak in Mount Rainier National Park to get a time-lapse of the sunrise with Fluttershy. Unfortunately, it was clouded over and I did not bring a wide enough lens to capture the entirety of the mountain and the lake (Eunice Lake) below! So instead I got the rugged ridge in front–part of the peak itself. To make matters even crazier, I forgot a bag of stuff at Eunice Lake on the way back (even had an item in it that I simply can't do time-lapse without), and did not realize it until I got to the bottom. So I had to "run" back up the trail to retrieve them. xD
