The centuries couldn't change the beauty of this place. It's always been like this, the roofs of Paris! It is recognizable at a glance, the blue of the roofs of Paris, draped in zinc and slate, enhanced by the eternal red brick chimneys.  We saw them shine on the canvases, these roofs, on the canvas and in the movies.  We remember the Aristocats and the four hundred blows of little Antoine by François Truffaut… To those, the roofs offered a unique and personal escape, a parenthesis, in which they could sing, run, play and dream, floating almost at- above the world, like on a cloud ...

"Central Park" New York City, New York, USA Central Park in Spring. Central Park is a four-kilometer north-south urban park in the heart of New York and Manhattan.  The green belt at the center of the skyscraper is an oasis for urban children.  Spring is finally coming to such a resting place… This park is planted with Yoshino cherry trees and double cherry blossoms sent from Japan, and from April to May it will be a beautiful row of cherry trees.  A flower belt that stretches in the middle of the city tells Manhattan of spring.

"Royal Albert Hall", London, UK An iconic platform to display your art! Today is the birthday of Royal Albert Hall.  Since its inception in 1871, there have been held many legendary events here ... The hall in the image is called the Albert Hall, is lined with famous museums and theatres, including the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Natural History Museum, and is central to London.  In the hall, not only music performances, but also sporting events such as boxing, professional wrestling, tennis, etc are organized here. In 1991, Japanese sumo wrestling was also performed. After a great art exhibition in Hyde Park of London in 1851, Prince Albert suggested to build a recreational facility for his people and this hall is called Albertopolis.  So here we have a royal spot to display our royal talents.

The Radcliffe Camera, Oxford, England for Tolkien Reading Day It's Tolkien Reading Day! For Tolkien Reading Day, we're featuring Oxford University's Radcliffe Camera, home to the world's largest archive of J.R.R. Tolkien's original manuscripts and drawings. While Tolkien never worked in the Radcliffe Camera (Latin for 'room'), he both studied here at Oxford (graduating in 1915 with first-class honors in English language) and taught here as a professor of Anglo-Saxon and later as a professor of English language and literature. During his years at Oxford, Tolkien wrote 'The Hobbit' and its sequel, 'The Lord of the Rings', along with other books and research. In 2003, the Tolkien Society organised the first Tolkien Reading Day to celebrate and promote the works of Tolkien. They selected March 25 since it was the day that the Dark Lord Sauron was defeated, and the Black Tower destroyed in the 'Lord of the Rings'.

"Six Street" Austin, Texas, USA A night of music and merriment! This is Six Street in Austin, Texas, USA.  This is the city center.  Called the "Live Music Capital of the World", you can enjoy live performances alongside the streets, as well as on the streets that become pedestrian streets at night.  The music played varies from country, jazz and blues ... every year, this street is home to a festival of movies, music and art, the "South by Southwest (SXSW)".  This year, the event was canceled to prevent infection, but more than 2,000 performances have been performed every year, and this is a major event where X JAPAN's YOSHIKI and Perfume also participate from Japan.

The Circle Bridge in Copenhagen, Denmark It’s Pi Day! Well, not that mouthwatering and cherry or berries filling pie, it's the day we celebrate the mathematical constant π. This day was chosen since today’s date (March 14) expressed numerically (in US format) matches the number’s first digits, 3.14. Pi represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. It can be used to compute the area and circumference of a circle, such as the circles that make up the bridge we're looking at here in Copenhagen. (Who said maths wasn't useful in the real world?) Many towns, schools, and museums mark the day with festivities based around mathematics and, of course, serving pie. We can’t think of a more delicious way to study geometry.

Gustav III Museum in Stockholm's Royal Palace, Sweden These statues tell the story of a lifetime.. The stories of the past, the tales of unending festivities and never-resting place (become the symbol of culture relics), where merriment and laughter still bounce back, through these stone cold walls and marble floors when the rest of the world goes to slumber. The ghosts of the past (emperors and empresses) still embrace this place when no one is there to witness them and nobody is there to hear their wails of sorrow and regrets. This place tells the tales of old times..    King Gustav III of Sweden has been criticized for his extravagant life, but he has a natural appreciation for Italian marble sculpture.  Two years after Gustav's death, in 1794, the Swedish royal family opened the Stockholm Royal Palace to the public, establishing one of the oldest museums in Europe.  This is the Gustav III Museum of Cultural Relics. 

Conwy Castle illuminated at night, Conwy Happy St David's Day! We’re celebrating St David’s Day here on the north coast of Wales in the spectacular walled town of Conwy. For more than seven centuries, Conwy Castle has towered over its narrow streets, against the mountainous skyline of Snowdonia. In its heyday it would have been white – lime render can still be seen on the walls – but even in its darker state it makes quite the impression, soaring out of a natural rock formation at the mouth of the River Conwy. Climb its battlements and you will be treated to sweeping views of the mountains, the sea, Conwy itself and the castle’s roofless Great Hall. You’re never too far from a castle in Wales – there are around 600 of them, many of which will be flying the Welsh flag on St David’s Day. Other ways to celebrate Wales’s patron saint include wearing a daffodil or a leek, the country's national emblems, taking part in parades, concerts or simply feasting on Welsh cakes, ...

Lahori Gate of the Red Fort, Delhi.  Entrance to the Red Fort, Delhi It was on this day in 1931, that the city of Delhi was officially inaugurated as the capital of British territories in India, while the name ‘New Delhi’ was first used in 1927. Two decades earlier, in 1911, the British had made the decision to transfer the capital from Kolkata (then called Calcutta) to Delhi. New Delhi remained the capital of India after independence, and the partition of the country in 1947. The Lahori Gate of the Red Fort, featured on today’s homepage, is a significant landmark of the city of Delhi. While the fort served as the residence of the Mughal emperors for over 200 years, it is today used as the venue from where the prime minister addresses the nation on occasions like Independence Day.
