Pasteleria Ideal (Pastry), Downtown Mexico City 
I took this photo while I was entering one of the most famous bakeries in Downtown Mexico City. I never imagined that showing the way in which person waits patiently for the bakerie’s staff to wrap each bread, would have such an impact.

I took this photo from the bus while passing through the university on the way from Mecca to Jabal Rahmah on September 24, 2022. I was lucky to be able to photograph the university building with an interesting angle from a running bus. I thought this was not my best photo. I took this photo using my smartphone, Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1-X00TD. Here’s a link to this POI on Maps.
Basilica Santuario della Madonna di Monte Berico, Italy

Gallardo’s Mexican Restaurant, San Francisco, CA, USA
Taken with a Nexus 5x, on a strangely empty moment for this very popular spot.

Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa
Happy 2024 and this is my star photo!
As you can see, Museum of New Zealand or Te Papa Tongarewa in te reo Māori, is indeed a famous landmark in Aotearoa. Being the National Museum of New Zealand, it houses amazing collections, stories, displays, and experience that will cater the interests of young and old. I have to admit I keep coming back and forth here to enjoy their exhibitions, especially regarding the history of the nation and . This is not my best photo but I was lucky to capture it properly. This point-and-click shot was taken with my old iPhone XR with no edit.
Sorry I keep lagging behind in updating my data @AdamGT … my bad! I have put it on my calendar (again) to do it earlier and hopefully my won’t hinder me from updating it regularly

This is a snapshot of Pagoda Avalokitesvara located at Semarang, Indonesia. The Pagoda, which rises up to 45 meters, is the home for the Buddhist. typically this place is crowded with tourists; however I was fortunate enough to arrive at the premise rather late which allowed me to have the whole place by myself. Here is the location of the Pagoda. HDR technique was used to combine 3 photos (taken with tripod, at around 6pm) with -1,0,1 exposure. I used Fuji X-T20 with 18-55mm lens. visit this link to see the photo on my website.

Hello @AdamGT , here I’m sharing my Star Photo which is public, because one of photos which have more than 40 million views is not public. I searched it in incognito mode.
But the photo which is public I’m sharing here, it got more than 1 million views.
The photo I shared was taken in Karachi in earlier 2019, and the name of the place is
Kababjees Restaurant Shaheed E Millat Branch
It’s one of the busiest restaurants of Karachi Pakistan.
Scott Monument, Princes St, Edinburgh, Scotland
It was taken in late November on a cold winter evening. The city is beautiful during the day, but at night it takes on a whole new perspective as its monuments and buildings are illuminated. I took advantage of the excellent night mode on my Pixel phone which captured the scene perfectly.
