Cappuccino Cloud Dwellers Featured Author: @teknon

Sleeping for a complete eight hours is something I don't remember doing since I became a reporter. My job sometimes take me out during the wee hours of the day. My husband on the other hand is a godsend; he helps out with our daughter on days when I'm unavailable.

Today feels different as I almost broke the record of sleeping for eight hours. I'm up counting the ceiling and waiting for the hands of the clock to hit six so I can go on social media to tell the world that after six years, I finally have a new record.

Orange, France - The Former Grandeur Of The City Is Gone, But The Pearls That Decorate It RemainFeatured Author: @madeirane

The architecture of France is rich in all kinds of antiquities. Traces of Roman colonization are most noticeable in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, but Provence was not left behind. The ancient Roman buildings of Nimes, Arles, and the magnificent Pont du Gard are the living history of a great civilization.

Orange, named so by the ancient Gauls in honor of the Celtic god, did not stand aside. It was founded by Julius Caesar in the 35th century BC. During the reign of Emperor Augustus, the city reached its greatest prosperity. In the 15th century, Orange became part of the French possessions.

FOLKLORE AND WILD HORSES / PHOTO STORYFeatured Author: @mestanophoto

If you follow my blog you know I love beautiful true stories. Now I'm going to tell one! A friend of mine who knows my love of photographing horses shared about a relative of hers who rescued two wild mares from being illegally caught. The animals had apparently escaped from somewhere and wandered around Vitosha Mountain for a long time. For several days Gabby / the owner of the horses /, followed them through hidden cameras and lungs, until one day she caught them with lasso... Just like in the cowboy movies.

The death of a market: capturing a forgotten environment
Featured Author: @namiks

There's a market nearby that I have been needing to check out for a few weeks now, I walk by it almost daily, just as the last few workers are packing up their goods and the stalls are mostly empty. Naturally, for a market, you have to get up early and attend them, something I've been struggling with this whole time. But this morning I finally had a chance to check it out, up relatively early today and prepared to capture it. I almost set up the rest of my camera gear to bring it with me, assuming I'd have the ability to video it and capture some of the atmosphere.
