EACH WEEK WE CHOOSE OUR favorite images from readers, fans, and travelers, who tag their photos with #travelstoke and post them on our Instagram account. These pictures provide a daily dose of inspiration, and challenge us to photograph the world in innovative ways.

Here are this week’s editors’ picks of people finding some serious #travelstoke.

1. Amazing shot of the Golden Gate Bridge captured by Bennett.

Home is where the heart is ❤️. Happy Thanksgiving – on this day, in spite of the dodgy history of this holiday, I like to take a moment to give thanks for the people and things that I am blessed to have in my life. — I’m thankful for my family for my friends. I’m thankful for the health and happiness of everyone that I love. I’m thankful for my community at @insomniacevents, @pasqualerotella, and the #InsomniacPhotoTeam. And I’m thankful for having photography as a creative outlet. — Thank you to all of you who follow, like, comment on my work – and thank you to all the amazing photographers on @instagram that constantly inspire me to push myself to do better work. #AOVAsteryx
