Hey Marko, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful photo with the community, I highly appreciate it. I saw that you uploaded it twice and I was wondering which one is the correct one. Is this new spot needed or is the other spot correct already? I'm asking because we want to prevent duplicates (since you can edit each spot anyway similar to Wikipedia) but if it's a different spot where you stood while taking the photo, then a separate spot is fine of course and I would recommend deleting the photo in the other spot. Let me know if you need help, I'm happy to help.

Thanks Manuel for pointing this out! This is a different location to the other spot, so I deleted the image from another point (they are close, but not the same).
