12 Derpy in a Transcontinental Railroad tunnel - TwiConnor
Derpy inside a former Central Pacific Railroad / Southern Pacific Railroad tunnel at Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada mountains of northern California. Over the course of three years in the 1860s, Central Pacific laborers (of whom the majority were Chinese migrants) blasted their way through this granite rock, at a significant human cost. Their hard work and sacrifice allowed for the completion of the U.S. Transcontinental Railroad in 1869, linking the east and west coasts of America by rail for the first time.

26 Autumn Blaze at Tagebau Garzweiler, Germany - Cabraloca
We took a trip to the edge of Tagebau Garzweiler, a surface mine not that far away from my home. It is used for mining lignite (brown coal), has currently a size of ~50km² and got its name from the village of Garzweiler which previously existed at this location. The landscape looks sooo surreal and the machines so small... In the background there is the famous "Bagger 288", the biggest in the world!

Sunny Starscout crowns herself the princess of Canobie Lake's Untamed Ride. Or maybe the princess of bears in general. She won't tell us.

41 Miss Libussa at the Kasteel de Haar in Netherlands - Jaroslav "Jamis" Haken
Visiting a fairy tale castle which is also a place for various gatherings, meetups, and events for more than 100 years now is a must for every MLP convention mascot!

43 Miss Libussa near the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy - Jaroslav "Jamis" Haken
An iconic view of the town which has many great things to visit. Did you know, that the tower is actually hollow inside and looks more like a rocket launch silo? Me neither :) also, trotting the round stairs inside the leaning tower is a bit strange feeling, but the overview from the top is totally worth it! Not to mention the meeting with one of the MLP G5 designers nearby haha!

Italian coast has many beautiful places like this - after trotting around the coast with a group of friends (humans and ponies) on a hot sunny vacation day, this view was simply breathtaking!
