Adobe analyzes landscape photography subreddit, identifies top locations in the United Kingdom
Adobe is known for its popular Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom photo editing software, so it doesn't come as a big surprise that it would want to get to know some of its target audience. The company used an API and scraped 300 posts from Reddit's Landscape Photography subreddit (r/LandscapePhotography) containing location tags or descriptions related to the United Kingdom (UK).
Hundreds of photos shared with the 128000-plus-member community over the past year by amateur and professional photographers were examined. The upvote, the ultimate signal to determine the value or worthiness of a post, was considered when Adobe reached out to Reddit users and asked for permission to feature their images in its study.
Here are some other findings the data revealed: The Scottish Highlands is the UK's most popular landscape, as 38 images received a total of 15184 upvotes. Devon is England's top spot with 34 photos getting 1850 upvotes. Gwynedd is the most admired location in Wales and 97% of its posts referenced Mount Snowdon or Snowdonia National Park.
More elusive spots were also identified using what Adobe calls a "Hidden Gem score." As with the popular locations, these locations stood out for the frequency of mentions, user engagement including upvotes and community discussions. To view which destinations made the list, and learn more about this study, visit Adobe's official site. It'll be interesting to see which region is covered next.

Extreme traveler is walking more than 8,000 miles from the UK to Asia — here's the exact route he's taking
He's got one hell of a step count. Luke Deakin, an adventurous Brit with a backpack and a dream, is walking from his home in the United Kingdom to Southeast Asia, a journey of more than 8,000 miles — and he's just revealed his exact route. The globetrotting trekker has been vlogging the wild journey on Instagram and TikTok for months, walking alongside fellow Brit Sophie. The daring journey recently went viral after a clip caught fire on a popular Reddit group. 'Right now I'm walking from England to Vietnam and this is the route that I've taken so far and the route I'm going to take,' Deakin explained in the video, originally posted Feb. 28. 'On the 16th of September 2024 I started walking from Stratford-upon-Avon to France and then into Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. I then headed into Austria, Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria.' At the time, Deakin was hoofing it through Greece — with Turkey on deck. 3 Brit adventurer Luke Deakin is hiking 13,000km from England to Vietnam — and just dropped his full step-by-step route. @Chubbytrekka / YouTube Along the way, he's been filming everything: chats with locals, snack reviews, and run-ins with roadside cows. 'It's going to take me about two months to cross Turkey where I'll then head into Georgia, Azerbaijan and then take a ferry to Kazakhstan,' he said. 'This is where I'll face logistical nightmares going hundreds of kilometers without food and water. The long stretch of Uzbekistan crossing over into Afghanistan, Pakistan and then over India.' 'Why am I doing this? To prove that normal people can do great things and to have the adventure of a lifetime. I'll then cross into Bangladesh, Myanmar and down through Thailand. Navigating 40 degree heat and rainy season I'll then cross into Cambodia, then Vietnam from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi where I'll finish my journey.' On June 3, Deakin posted an updated video about how he stays online during the trip. 'How I stay connected while walking from the UK to Vietnam! No SIM card hunting, no overpriced plans, just instant data anywhere in the world,' he wrote, plugging the app Saily. 'It's something I use every day on my trip!' He doubled down in the clip: 'Staying connected on my phone is important… imagine how difficult this journey would be without the internet.' 3 The globe-trotting Brit — joined by sidekick Sophie — has been documenting every wild step on Instagram and TikTok, and just blew up after a clip from his @chubbytrekka account landed on Reddit on June 4. @Chubbytrekka / YouTube His route? 'UK, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam.' He's already racked up 570K followers on Instagram and 236.4K on TikTok — but not everyone's a fan. On Reddit, skeptics questioned his odds. 'People spend 5-7 months walking the Appalachian Trail… this guy stands no chance,' one hater griped. 3 His path? A wild 13,000-kilometer haul through 24 countries — from the UK to Vietnam — with stops in France, Turkey, India, Cambodia and everywhere in between. @Chubbytrekka / YouTube Another shot back: 'He's already walked UK to Eastern Turkey… much further than the Appalachian Trail.' Some argued the real challenge wasn't the mileage — but the map. 'More politically challenging than physical,' one wrote. 'Walking through like 2 or 3 countries dealing with civil war or straight up war lol.' Others on Instagram cheered him on: 'Love following your journey. So f–king cool,' one fan wrote. In his June 1 YouTube update, Deakin revealed a visa dilemma: he had six days left in Turkey with 750 kilometers still to go. 'I want to overstay the visa for about two to three weeks and pay the fine,' he said. 'We're in Turkey. We've walked through 11 countries.' And they're 'in for another year on this trip.' From Stratford-upon-Avon to Southeast Asia? He's not just walking the walk — he's living the long-haul dream.

Kids' Passports Expire Much Faster Than Adults—What Travelers Need to Know
Some parents get an unwanted surprise before a family trip when they learn that child passports have a short validity window. Child passports are only valid for five years, compared to a 10-year validity span for adult passports. Experts recommend that parents or guardians renew their child's passport every three and a half planning an international trip may want to carefully check their child's passport expiration many travelers understand that a regular United States passport is valid for 10 years, the policy isn't the same for a child's passport. In fact, the U.S. Department of State, which manages the passport process, states that passports for children under the age of 16 are valid for half of the normal term: just five years. To be on the safe side, parents should plan on replacing a child's passport at least every three and a half years, as many countries require more than six months of passport validity to be able to use the document for entry to their country. The State Department has a helpful checklist for parents who are in the process of replacing or obtaining a first-time passport for a child under the age of 16. Some of the special instructions include providing evidence of U.S. citizenship and both parents submitting information and consent for the passport. "Both parents or guardians must approve that we can issue a passport to a child, and go with the child to apply in person," the State Department's website explains. The policy further explains that renewals cannot be completed through the DS-82 form, and instead have to be processed as new passports. The current processing time for a routine passport application is four to six weeks, and expedited service takes two to three weeks. For many families, the five-year expiration can cause panic and disruption before flights. 'The plans were booked last minute and I noticed today his passport is expired!' one parent shared in a Reddit post. Another family described the "urgent situation" in which their vacation to Punta Cana was completely ruined when they realized their child's passport was two months expired, sharing in another Reddit post, 'we had to rebook and make an appointment for expedited passport renewal at a passport agency, this sucks!' Frequent travelers may also consider applying for a Global Entry membership for their child, which can provide expedited airport security screening. The process similar to what an adult would do to get Global Entry membership, including the in-person interview. However, children under the age of 14 do not need to submit fingerprints. The State Department regularly offers "Special Passport Acceptance Fairs" as ways for first-time passport applicants to receive special help and insights on the application process.

Flight passengers complain about maskless coughing on board as summer travel heats up
Print Close By Ashley DiMella Published June 05, 2025 As summer travel kicks off, many Americans are taking to the skies to reach their destination. One traveler is sounding off about the passing around of summer sicknesses, calling out "sick people" with "no masks" — and igniting plenty of debate and input from others. Posted in the "r/delta" forum on Reddit, the message reads, "Currently on a plane, and one of the guys in the row behind me is absolutely hacking up a lung with no mask." MAJOR AIRLINE HOLDING FLIGHTS TO ACCOMMODATE FLYERS WITH CONNECTIONS "I've had this happen quite often recently. These people are totally inconsiderate scummy individuals. We are all in super-close quarters on flights — just wear a freaking mask," the user writes. Redditors took to the comments section to discuss the issue of flight passengers wearing masks on board. "I have lung disease and occasionally I get a coughing fit. I'm not sick or contagious. Could be the case here," suggested one user. Another user wrote, "You're never going to get the U.S. to adopt a mindset that widely encompasses masks. You just aren't. And the thing is, prior to 2020 you would likely not have thought of masking for someone coughing either." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER "This is why I always wear a mask on planes because I can't control if other people wear them," commented a Redditor. "I don't trust others to have common sense." One user said, "I carry a mask and wash my hands before (and after) I use the bathroom. I don't trust others to have common sense or minimal decency." Another person said, "If you go out in public, there will be germs. Accept it. Move on. Protect yourself however you wish. Or stay home."

"Close proximity of passengers increases the risk of person-to-person airborne spread before contaminated air can be removed from the breathing zone and exhausted or filtered," the CDC notes. Wearing a mask can be especially helpful during the boarding and deplaning process. Print Close URL
