#1 Kawgoon Cave Temple in Hpa-an in Eastern Burma - 14 Centuries of Meditation Energy by @artemislives

Standing in the presence of 14 centuries of meditation energy is quite something - humbling and awe-inspiring. The day we visited - 13th March 2020 - we saw not one other foreigner, just Karen and Burmese families paying their respects, praying and enjoying a family day out.Kawgoon Cave is a Buddhist Temple which lies about 30 mins outside of the city of Hpa-a, the capital of Karen State in Eastern Burma.

#2 My California - East Fork Gold Prospecting by @derekrichardson

Once again I headed up the East fork San Gabriel river for some gold prospecting! I hiked in to my usual camp and spent a few days camping and digging. On my way up I stopped and climbed up the east side of the Narrows to check out some old mines. There were a bunch of mines, but these mines are old placer mines that are dug into the ancient riverbed material.

#3 At the Gyeongju Bird Park with my Feathered Friends by @abitcoinskeptic

Recently I took a trip to Gyeongju which is the ancient Shilla capital city in South Western Korea. Sometimes when I travel, I want to do something a little different. It was getting cold, so I figured I would do something indoors. The bird park was a perfect idea. When Koreans think of Gyeongju, they don't really think of tropical birds or tourist traps. These do exist in the city, however, it's not why Koreans come here (there are closer tourist traps to Seoul). The entire city is an outdoor museum with relics mostly dating to the height of that civilization which was around 1200-1400 years ago during the late 3-kingdom's period.
