Sagano Bamboo Forest, Japan

This stunning bamboo forest is located in the Arashiyama district on the west outskirts of Kyoto, Japan. It is one of the most amazing natural sites in the country. An interesting fact about Sagano Bamboo Forest is the sound that the wind makes while it blows through the bamboo. Amazingly enough, this sound has been voted on as one of the “one hundred must-be-preserved sounds of Japan” by the Japanese government. Another interesting fact – the railing on the sides of the road is composed out of old, dry and fallen parts of bamboo.

Holi, the Hindu festival of colour. (x)

This has to be the most beautiful celebration on the planet.

#yay #pictures of the ACTUAL FESTIVAL instead of pictures of a bunch of white kids acting like it’s an extension of warped tour

Here for them tags.

Also this festival looks like it would be fantastic…but hell on my eyes.

Unique Vintage Hand Portraits, 1917-1937

Hands are extremely expressive, communicating both mood and emotion. Each of these portraits from yesteryear are all part of different private collections, some with very interesting stories behind them. 

Poor Emma, when she turned eighteen, then the paparazzi just became criminals, in my view. In what other context could five men chase a woman down an alley, and it be ok?
