Ancient temples, nuclear reactors, giant mountain peaks, and more. This year was an awesome Ponies Around the World! I think summer break and longer deadlines was a good choice, because 2014 blew all the others out of the water!
Similar to last year, we will be splitting this up into sets of 100 daily. All in all, we had 600 submissions, though it may drop once we finish getting all of the duplicates and rule breakers cleaned up. If you sent yours to the submit box instead due to issues with the submitter, they will be added near the end.
Hopefully you all had some fun! Now go travel the world WITH PONIES. 100 Locations below the break!
2 Fluttershy visits the Oak Ridge National Lab Graphite Reactor. - lordalexander74
Here we have Fluttershy overseeing reactor workers at the graphite reactor in Oak Ridge TN. I went to the Oak Ridge National Labs on a field trip, and snapped a pic of Fluttershy in front of the graphite reactor and the Titan supercomputer. I figured this would be a neat submission, considering not a lot of people get to visit a secure government facility. And it's a real important slice of US history.

5 Rainbow Dash and Paterson Falls - ChibiDashie
Even though New York City is pretty much right next to me, I simply didn't have the time. But then...New Jersey has some cool stuffs, so why not? Snooki gives it a bad name, unfortunately. Damn you Jersey Shore! (The show, not the actual beach.)

6 Rainbow Dash and the Phonograph - ChibiDashie
Rainbow Dash visits Thomas Edison's factory to see some phonographs on display! Unfortunately, it's quite dark in there and there's glare, too. We also visited his house nearby, but there was nothing of interest there worthy to be on here. Also, Tesla is awesomer. Like, totally more awesome than Edison. Take that!

Taken in front of The Venetian Macao, at Cotai, Macau. I think it's better that Rarity doesn't know what's happening. If she did, she might faint and fall into the fountain waters below.

15 Fabulous Murder Scene: Lizzie Borden House - Zenkonto
That's right! Rarity decided to take a tour to the house of the famous Lizzie Borden murder scene. Though it is a little dark for her liking, Rarity decided to visit and adore the fabulous scenery of 19th century architecture. She even secretly took a little bit of some of their fabric for some of her work.

A picture I took of Fluttershy on Sword Beach in Normandy, France on the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings (6th June). Taken around 9pm, the beach was eerily calm despite the last of the celebrations (lots of bagpipes and dancing) happening on the street. A quiet moment spend to remember those who lost their lives that day...

82 Wistful Turkish Tune - Fogtrotter
What probably amused me most in the history of Byzantine empire (with capital in then-Constantinople, now Istanbul) is that it was once ruled by literally two empresses-sisters, Zoe and Theodora, at the same time. Sounds familiar? How cool is that! At the picture you can see Hagia Sophia or "Holy Wisdom", built 537, which was already a Greek Orthodox basilica, a Roman Catholic catherdal, an imperial mosque and currently serves as a museum. Have Octavia hitting the strings with wistful turkish tune :) If you're ever going to visit Istanbul, be sure to watch "Crossing the Bridge" first - it's a great documentary full of beautiful music.

86 Rainbow Fluttershy and the Bronze Bear - Lily Rose Page
I took my Rainbow Fluttershy to see the Bronze Bear statue. Officially named the Emmeline Austin Wadsworth statue, it was commissioned by her two sons. It was designed by Richard Morris Hunt who is well known for designing the base of the Statue of Liberty! Wadsworth was an avid animal lover just like our dear Fluttershy. It's the centerpiece of my small town of Geneseo, New York and has been there since 1888.
