"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.

"One pine tree of miracle", Rikuzentakata, Iwate It's been nine years since the Great East Japan Earthquake. In 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred.  The largest earthquake in Japan's history, has caused even greater damage, including tsunamis and nuclear accidents.  Nine years later, the recovery has progressed, but there are still traces of the disaster ... This "One Miracle Miracle" is a monument left in Rikuzentakata City, Iwate Prefecture.  This was once a scenic spot that was once designated as one of Japan's 100 scenic spots, but the pine was left behind and one side was exposed to the tsunami.  This one-honmatsu, which did not wash away by the tsunami, tells the state of the time that conveys the scars of the earthquake.

The Milky Way above Grotto in Canadian Badlands, Drumheller, Alberta, Canada Tens of thousands years old land and thousands and thousands of stars! This place is the home to millions of years of paleontological history. The deep, wide valley walls are a rainbow of earthy hues with layer upon layer of secrets from the past. Visiting them is like stepping back into the pioneering days and the coal mining era. Parts of the landscape look like the face of the moon or another planet, yet you can experience them by driving just 90 minutes northeast of Calgary. Here today, in this photograph you can also experience a sky full of stars (Milky Way indeed) due to pollution-less and cloudless atmosphere. The Milky Way consists of more than one hundred and fifty billion stars. Each star is helping the galaxy to shine like a diamond and forms a beautiful hue of colors and light which mesmerizes us at night.  Now you can think of our Earth signifi...

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, ...

Panorama of the Alps under the snow, France Still a little winter! Winter has been very mild this year.  Maybe a little too much.  Snowball battles have become rare and hot chocolates were not as necessary as usual.  Strangely, we are a little disappointed not to have been able to take advantage of this atmosphere so mild in winter, as paradoxical as it is.  Little cocooning warm on Sunday morning when the flakes fall deafly on the ground.  No fogging while exhaling icy winter air. Winter warm  dishes rich in fat and comfort did not really taste the same either this winter.  A bit like drinking a Spritz while it is raining;  it's just not the same. So to compensate, we offer you this splendid view of the Alps under the snow which, we hope will make you feel this winter heat, as there is no  other.  And if you suddenly have a desire for melted Savoyard cheese, you have all our blessing!
