62 Travelpones at a black beach on Lanzarote, Spain - Cabraloca
We took Derpy and Dr. Whooves as our travelpones to one of the rare black sand beaches "Playa de Montaña Bermeja" on the island of Lanzarote, Spain. We had some luck and found lots of sparkling green olivine gems at the beach! Big waves, volcanos and rough nature: Lanzarote feels like the Hawaii of Europe.

63 Travelpones at Charco Verde, Lanzarote, Spain - Cabraloca
Here our travelpones Derpy and Dr. Whooves visit the iconic green lagoon Charco Verde on the island of Lanzarote, Spain. The color of the lagoon is caused by some algae and contrast to the volcanic rocks looks dramatic!

64 Travelpones on top of Timanfaya, Lanzarote, Spain - Cabraloca
We took Derpy and Dr. Whooves as our travelpones to the Timanfaya national park. This area features volcanic landscape from relative young eruptions ~300 years ago with beatiful colors and contrasts. The place feels out of this world and looks similar to martian landscapes. The artist César Manrique built an iconic restaurant atop of a volcano which features a unique direct-heat-from-the-ground-bbq.

65 Derpy and Dr. Whooves on the sweet & elite island of Sylt - Cabraloca
Not kidding, we and our travelpones were on the kind of elite island of Sylt in northern part of Germaneigh! Usually only for snobs and not for plebs we sneaked in at off-season time in March when the weather is cold and windy. We had luck, it was sunny and warm!

66 Travelpones visit the game Riven? - Cabraloca
Derpy and Dr. Whooves visit some passage ways from the iconic Riven game, aka MYST 2... Well, sadly no: Here we are at Mirador del Río, another architectual art by César Manrique at the very north of the island of Lanzarote. And yes, it also features a restaurant xD

74 Born and Buried in Grainbee - Frith
Another year, another PONIES AROUND THE WORLD event! I've done them all. Bet'cha noponyelse has submitted pictures every single year to this shindig. This year Palmer Cox celebrates 100 years of being dead. There ain't no statue or museum dedicated to Palmer Cox in Grainbee (where he was born and died) and the closest thing to a permanent metal plaque is this grave marker. Observe the thing that got Palmer rich and famous: that weird spindly-limbed gnome is a "Brownie". Palmer drew hundreds of them. Check out Project Gutenberg to see a few of his Brownie books.

75 Putting the Stone in Tomb Stone - Frith
I don't think I've ever seen an uglier tombstone. Between the lack of any other memorial and this hideous lump, I think the people of Grainbee (in Keybuck, Canterda) _really_ didn't like Palmer Cox. At least they didn't burn down his "dream home". It's still standing.

78 Lover's Place over Stoupa, Greece - Jürgen Bartholomä
One of the most romantic spots over Stoupa (Greece) are the ruins of the ancient citadel, where Lover ponies often congregate during the most romantic time of the day, when the sun sets over the Mediterranean Sea.

79 Twilight at Samuel Johnson's Birthplace - Loganberry
Twilight Sparkle visits the birthplace of that noted man of letters, Samuel Johnson. He was born in this house in Lichfield, England in 1709. Today the building hosts a museum and bookshop, so Twilight will be even happier!

82 Medieval castles - Firesky
Mid-century castles are magnificent and I love visiting them. The ones in the photos are Castle Coch, Cardiff castle in Wales, Akershus Castle Chapel in Oslo, Norway and Charles Bridge in Prague

83 Ramp for Scootallu is ready - Firesky
This is me Firesky! Extreme Pegasus I love extreme sports, adrenaline, challenges and adventures. And here I prepared a ramp for Scootallu, maybe the girl will finally learn to fly and not crash on the first tree?

84 My pony-themed 3Ds in Western Cornwall - Pineapple
The screen was too dim to be seen in day on camera, so I opted to also use the back which had a Vylet pony Larvaecandy sticker on it.

86 Camping with Scootaloo - Kww
We were sleeping in tents at Batrana mountain top (2181m). Also in background you can see small dog sleeping, he was just random dog that kept following us from the start of our journey. He proved himself usefull on the trail as he was sensing wild animals, e.g. horses. Unfortunetly we had to part our ways at the end.

91 Rarity at the Gazebo Tower, Ross-on-Wye - Loganberry
Rarity admires the Gazebo Tower, one of the most striking buildings in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, England. This was built as part of the town's Mock Gothic Town Walls in 1833, a project intended to make the town look more medieval in order to attract tourists! The Gazebo Tower is now a private house.

93 Rainbow in Alaska #1 - Albert Zhou
I bought this Rainbow Dash luggage tag in Taipei, Taiwan in 2023. Since then, it has made its way across the Pacific to Crescent Harbor in the historic town of Sitka, Alaska!

94 Rainbow in Alaska #2 - Albert Zhou
Here we have Rainbow in Juneau (hey that rhymes!), Alaska's capital city. The plaque, located near Manila Square in the heart of downtown, honors former resident Grace Taeko Akiyama. She was said to be very generous, sharing her talent of flower arranging with friends.
