DER STANDARD is celebrating the travel experiences of its readers by presenting a collection of the most stunning holiday photographs submitted for the week of June 24, 2026. The feature offers a visual journey to various destinations captured through the eyes of its audience.
One featured image showcases the Itsukushima Shrine on Japan's Miyajima Island during sunset. The accompanying text describes a rewarding experience that included a strenuous climb to the summit of Mount Misen, offering panoramic views of Hiroshima Bay and the surrounding islands. The descent was followed by a relaxing moment observing the sunset by the shore.
Tragically, the text notes that the temple on Mount Misen, known for its eternal flame, burned down five days after the reader's visit. This detail adds a poignant layer to the otherwise idyllic travelogue.
The publication encourages its readers to share their own most beautiful vacation pictures. A dedicated email form is provided for submissions, inviting continued participation in this reader-driven feature.
