Hello fellow Clickstars!
This week’s Clicks of the Week drift through spaces where memory, pride, celebration, quiet nature and everyday work all leave their imprint—and then get anchored in the Click archive as certified media, frozen exactly as they were in the split second the shutter dropped. These are the kinds of scenes you might stroll past without a second thought—a cliff‑top path above the sea, a gallery opening, a carnival lantern at 3 a.m., a city spread between factories and hills, a truck rolling past bare winter fields—but once they are signed with provenance inside the Digital Trust Network, they gain a different kind of gravity.
Settle in and let these five Clicks carry you from Riga’s still, stone-filled remembrance to Maharashtra’s rising monument-in-the-making, from Beverly Hills’ Lunar New Year drumbeats to Silesia’s post‑industrial lakes turned local escape, and finally into Puerto Rico’s green interior, where time and weather can turn utility into something like folklore.
Throughout the week, the team handpicks Clicks to promote the different feeds and Clickstars on social media, like X, Instagram and Hey.xyz or orb.club. They get a tip from Nodle for their contributions to the network, Click archive and creativity - if you want to get highlighted by the official accounts, keep on Clicking, yours might be next!
Support the network and its creators by following the official accounts, sharing, liking and commenting on the posts. Your support is crucial to the network's success!
In this week, the archive grew by 365 Clicks, totaling a staggering 72,289 certified media that got put on the chain. Week by week, contributions all over the world contribute to Nodle - the first Digital Trust Network that empowers creators and enterprises alike through their Android and iOS apps.
Where: Bilbao, Biscay, Spain
Feed: Nature
This week starts with a stunning capture from one of our Clickstars in Spain. The coordinates of this Click place you on the cliff‑top paths above Barinatxe Beach, better known locally as "La Salvaje" – "the wild one" – on the Biscay coast just north of Bilbao, between the towns of Sopela and Getxo. This stretch of shoreline has earned its fierce nickname honestly: 752 metres of fine golden sand face directly into the Cantabrian Sea, catching the full force of the Atlantic swell and producing waves powerful enough to host regional surf competitions year after year. Surfers know the beach by its individual breaks – "La Triangular," a long, noble right‑hander over rocky bottom ideal for longboards; "La Batidora," where lefts predominate on the western flank; and "La Corriente," a technical, tide‑sensitive left in the centre – each of them shifting constantly because the seafloor here never stays the same for long.
But Barinatxe is far more than a surf spot. The steep green cliffs that frame the bay are part of the Flysch of Bizkaia, a geological formation where alternating layers of limestone and marl record roughly fifty million years of Earth's history in what scientists describe as a kind of open‑air textbook. Near the neighbouring beach of Arriatera you can even spot the thin K‑Pg boundary layer – the sediment deposited right after the asteroid impact that ended the age of the dinosaurs, sixty‑six million years ago. Behind the sand, a protected dune ecosystem shelters rare coastal vegetation, while the cliff tops double as a popular launch pad for paragliders who ride the updrafts above the bay. Sopela itself adds to the charm: the municipality holds one of the oldest prehistoric settlements in Bizkaia at nearby Kurtzia, where Mousterian‑culture tools date human presence back over forty thousand years. And every summer since 1999, the beach hosts the Sopela Nudist Race – a free, cheerful 5 km run in the buff, divided by age and gender, that has become one of the coast's most gleefully eccentric traditions. From million‑year‑old geology to barefoot twenty‑first‑century fun, La Salvaje packs a remarkable amount of story into one wild sweep of coastline.
Where: Alhambra, California, United States
Feed: Events
Shifting from breathtaking coastal views in Spain, longterm Clickstar SCVCRYPTO shares his visit to a very different kind of landscape – the warm, art‑filled interior of Gallery Nucleus on East Main Street in Alhambra. The coordinates of this Click put you inside one of the Los Angeles area's most beloved spaces for illustrated and narrative art. Nucleus has been a gathering place for artists and art lovers since October 2004, when it opened with a simple idea that turned out to be anything but ordinary: give illustrators, animators, concept artists and visual storytellers the kind of dedicated gallery space that the broader fine‑art world rarely offered them. Two decades later, the gallery occupies a long, clean‑walled room with a boutique bookstore and gift shop up front and two dedicated exhibition spaces inside, and it has hosted shows tied to major animation studios, video‑game franchises and beloved pop‑culture properties – think Studio Ghibli retrospectives, Disney tributes and indie‑toy conventions – drawing visitors from across Southern California and well beyond.
On the weekend this Click was taken, Nucleus was in the middle of "Defying Gravity: A Wicked Exhibition," a collaboration with Popcore celebrating the major motion pictures Wicked and Wicked: For Good. The show, on display from February 28 to March 15, features dozens of illustrators and visual storytellers reimagining the world of Oz – from poster‑style character portraits and lush landscape paintings to sculptural pieces and limited‑edition prints, many of which you can see lining the walls and glass vitrines in this Click. Admission is free, no RSVP is needed, and the vibe on opening weekend was exactly what Nucleus does best: relaxed, welcoming, and buzzing with the quiet energy of people who care deeply about the craft behind the stories they grew up loving.
The gallery sits in the heart of Alhambra, a city of about 83,000 in the western San Gabriel Valley that carries its own layered history. The land was originally home to the Tongva people, then part of a vast Spanish colonial grant to Mission San Gabriel, founded in 1771. The city's name itself is a literary souvenir – it was chosen in the 1870s by developer Benjamin D. Wilson's daughter Ruth, who was reading Washington Irving's Tales of the Alhambra at the time. Today Alhambra is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the valley, with a thriving Asian‑American community, a legendary dining scene that stretches from dim sum parlours to taco stands, and the annual San Gabriel Valley Lunar New Year Parade and Festival that fills the streets with dragon dances and cultural performances. A Wicked exhibition in a town named after a Spanish palace by a girl reading a book – it all fits the neighbourhood's cheerful habit of blending high culture, pop culture and everyday life without any fuss.
Where: Basel, Basel-Stadt, Switzerland
Feed: General
Basel's local Clickstar BASILEA shares yet another moment from Switzerland's rich Fasnacht tradition, and this one captures the carnival at its most surreal. The coordinates of this Click put you right in Basel's city centre around 2:50 a.m. on Thursday of Basler Fasnacht 2026, near the very end of the legendary 72‑hour celebration. Basel's Fasnacht is the largest carnival in Switzerland and has been inscribed on UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2017. It is also, in the carnival world, a beautiful outlier: while most European carnivals end on Shrove Tuesday, Basel's begins after Ash Wednesday – a deliberate break with Catholic tradition that dates back to the Reformation of the sixteenth century, when the Protestant city refused to give up its festival but shifted its timing as a visible sign of independence.
Everything kicks off at exactly 4 a.m. on Monday with the "Morgestraich," when every streetlight in the old town goes dark and the only illumination comes from the painted lanterns of the Cliquen – the organised groups of masked marchers who form the backbone of the festival. Each Clique spends months preparing a satirical "Sujet," a theme drawn from recent local, national or world events, which is revealed for the first time on these lanterns and then carried through every element of the group's performance: costumes, music, printed verse leaflets called "Zeedel," and the surreal body‑suits known as "Larven" – handcrafted face masks designed to guarantee total anonymity. Fasnacht's vocabulary is itself a cultural curio: despite being a deeply Swiss‑German event conducted in Baseldütsch, it is packed with French loanwords – cortège, clique, sujet, réquisit – a linguistic echo of Basel's position on the French border.
By the time this Click was taken – deep into the final night – the streets are ankle‑deep in Räppli (confetti), the political satire has been chewed over for three straight days, and the Cliquen are performing their last marches before the traditional "Ladärne Verabschiide," the lantern farewell. Each group has its own farewell ritual: most form a circle around their painted lantern, play compositions like the Wettsteinmarsch or the Basler Marsch, and gradually extinguish their lights as the music fades – a quietly moving ceremony that brings 72 hours of controlled mayhem to a close just before dawn. The costumed school of mirror‑scaled fish you see in this Click, parading alongside their yellow lantern on a confetti‑buried street, is a perfect snapshot of why locals call these three days "die drey scheenschte Dääg" – the three most beautiful days – because for just one long weekend, the normal city vanishes entirely under drums, piccolos and light, and even at ridiculous o'clock on a cold night, there are still people making absolutely sure the carnival stays awake until the sun comes up.
Where: Terrassa, Barcelona, Spain
Feed: General
YENABDN shares a Click taken from a high vantage point above Terrassa, a medium‑sized city of around 225,000 people in the Vallès Occidental region, about twenty kilometres inland from Barcelona, framed by rolling hills and the distant, jagged silhouette of the Montserrat massif. The view perfectly captures Terrassa's defining paradox: a skyline of old factory chimneys, brick warehouses and terracotta rooftops set against surprisingly lush green hills and an overcast Catalan sky that makes every colour richer.
Terrassa's roots run extraordinarily deep. In Roman times the settlement was called Egara, and around the year 450 it became the seat of its own bishopric – an early Christian centre whose legacy survives today in the Monumental Church Complex of Sant Pere de Terrassa, a trio of Visigothic‑Romanesque churches (Sant Pere, Santa Maria and Sant Miquel) that ranks among the most important examples of early medieval architecture in all of Catalonia. The complex sits right inside Parc de Vallparadís, a remarkable 3.5‑kilometre urban park carved by a deep torrent valley through the heart of the city. Vallparadís is one of the largest urban parks in Catalonia, and it reads like an open‑air museum: the twelfth‑century Carthusian castle of Vallparadís (now the city museum), a medieval bridge, the Textile Museum, a swimming pool, even a miniature railway – all threaded along walking paths that locals treat as their everyday escape route into nature. Palaeontologists have also unearthed Pleistocene‑era flora and fauna at the Cal Guardiola site within the park, pushing the story of life in this valley back roughly a million years.
The great leap in Terrassa's fortunes came during the nineteenth century, when the textile industry transformed it into one of Catalonia's industrial powerhouses, specialising in wool. The boom produced some of the finest examples of Catalan Modernist industrial architecture anywhere – none more iconic than the Vapor Aymerich, Amat i Jover mill, a cavernous saw‑tooth‑roofed factory designed by the architect Lluís Muncunill, which now houses the mNACTEC, the Museum of Science and Technology of Catalonia. More than three hundred surviving Modernist chimneys still dot the skyline, each one a protected heritage symbol of the city's manufacturing past. Today, many of those old factories have been repurposed as business incubators, creative studios and design schools, and Terrassa has reinvented itself as a knowledge‑economy city – but the industrial bones remain visible everywhere. Seen from a high viewpoint on a cloudy March afternoon, as in this Click, Terrassa spreads out between its green corridor and the surrounding hills, with the light catching both the old factory roofs and the open countryside – a good reminder that this is a place where Roman bishops, medieval monks, industrial barons and twenty‑first‑century designers all left their mark on the same patch of earth.
Where: Montsuzain, Aube, France
Feed: Travel
We close this week with a Clickstar on a journey through the quiet heart of France. The coordinates of this Click place it near Montsuzain, a tiny rural commune of about four hundred inhabitants – the Montsuzanois, as they are officially known – in the Aube department of the Grand Est region, roughly twenty kilometres north of the medieval city of Troyes. The village is built around a wood that has grown up alongside the Barbuise, a modest thirty‑six‑kilometre river that rises near Luyères, flows through a string of small farming communes including Montsuzain, and eventually empties into a branch of the Aube near Charny‑le‑Bachot. Rural cottages with exposed brickwork and timber‑framed farmhouses are the signature of the landscape here – a quiet, unhurried countryside where more than ninety percent of the surrounding land is given over to farming, mainly wide‑open fields of cereals that stretch to the horizon.
Despite its modest size, Montsuzain carries traces of both deep history and quiet resilience. At its centre stands the Église de la Conversion‑de‑Saint‑Paul, a church whose transept pillars date to the twelfth century and whose sixteenth‑century stained‑glass windows have been classified as historic monuments since 1913. Near the village bridge over the Barbuise, a stele commemorates the seventy‑five soldiers who fell defending the village on 15 June 1940, choosing to stand and fight rather than surrender – a small, poignant memorial in a very small place.
The wider Aube area sits within the chalky Champagne plain – a landscape the Romans named Campania, literally "land of the plains". For centuries this chalk country was considered poor and dull, but modern farming techniques and fertilisation turned it into one of France's most productive cereal‑growing regions, and of course the chalky subsoil is the same geological gift that gives Champagne wines their famous minerality further south. The Aube's own viticultural history is a rebellious one: when the Champagne appellation was first drawn up in 1908, the Aube was deliberately excluded – deemed too far south, too Burgundian – until the vignerons revolted in the dramatic riots of 1911 and eventually won their rightful place under the Champagne label in 1927. Taken from inside a truck on a winter afternoon, this Click catches these fields when they are mostly bare and the light is low and soft, the straight farm roads becoming perfect vanishing lines in the windscreen, guiding you out into a countryside that is not postcard France but something arguably more honest – the quiet, chalky, working land you simply pass through on the way between cities, the kind of place where a twelfth‑century church, a war memorial and an endless horizon of wheat stubble all share the same roadside without asking for attention.
That wraps this edition of Clicks of the Week—five certified Clicks, five local stories, and one shared thread: real places and real moments, captured as‑they‑happened and turned into verifiable, on‑chain records inside the Digital Trust Network. Week after week, our Clickstars show that authenticity is not a filter but a deliberate act, and that once a moment is signed, stored, and surfaced as trusted media, even a quiet truck road, a wind‑carved dune or a late‑night gallery stroll can outlast the scroll.
