Raganų Kalnas. Lithuania by @grindle

What a special place, you can really see and feel that mysterious, unique atmosphere. It feels like a special place inhabited by beings you can’t see, like fairies, right in the heart of nature.
Those carvings are incredible; the details on each of the sculptures are beautiful, and I love that they’ve created new ones whilst also restoring the existing ones, and that they’re allowing them to age naturally. The energy you feel there is certainly powerful.

Favorite Music Channels by @jcrodriguez

You’re absolutely right, to stand out on YouTube, quality is essential, whether it’s the picture, the video or the sound. The first artist and singer you’ve introduced us to has an incredible, beautiful and perfect voice, and yes, I also like that sort of artist who simply stands in the street and shares the quality of their music. They’re top-class, and she’s gorgeous!
I like the second recommendation because of the atmosphere in which the videos are filmed and the chemistry between that lovely couple. Then I got to the third recommendation and the first thing I thought was… what energy and power, that girl is fabulous!
The fourth one leaves me speechless with her voice; I love Adele too, her songs are sad but profound, and in the last case, it’s a girl with loads of potential. What brilliant recommendations you’ve brought us. I never suspected you’d like this sort of content.

"June-July" 2026 Competition: DIY Challenges Around the World: - How to make small toy pots out of clay to conserve water. by @mdakash62

I always find it fascinating how you take clay and turn it into a vase. It's not easy to work with, but you did a great job—congratulations on all of this!

The folk music of my country (Venezuela) [ESP/ENG] by @mairene1

It’s wonderful to learn about the traditional music of your country in this case, three different styles. I also really appreciate how you mention their origins and history, as well as details like the connection to the era of slavery or your own personal experiences with dancing and singing. Música llanera bears a strong resemblance to the zambas from my country including the zapateo (foot stomping dance); I actually learned to do that step because I had no other choice, but it turned out to be a great experience.
I really enjoyed what you shared about the gaitas, as I also used to think they were only played during the Christmas season. It’s lovely that you enjoyed those moments at your aunt and uncle's home. As I always say, what truly matters are the experiences centered around the month's theme.

A mortarboard for my nephew. / Un birrete para mi sobrino. [ENG/ESP] by @yaslenysofia

A lovely piece of work. It's really interesting how you can create such a beautiful piece using materials that would otherwise end up in the trash; so, by combining recycled materials with beautiful, high-quality ones, you've created something truly beautiful.
