It looks like a city from the sky, but it's actually hundreds of square and rectangular objects (boxes, books, cubes, etc) all perfectly stacked and arranged by color. Oh, and this installation is inside an old abandoned swimming pool.

Whatever noises Macron is making about recognition of the state of Palestine, this video shows you what the reality is in France. Display a Palestine flag and risk violent treatment and detention from the police.

A dry "zen" garden inside the inner courtyard of a Japanese house. A woman is sitting in the background and is looking at the rocks and sand. However, there is more than meets the eyes, but you'll have to go there to find out. (it's an artwork by Leandro Erlich on Megijima in Japan)

I was supposed to pack my suitcases today and... well... I didn't (just made stacks of things all over my room).
Tonight? Tomorrow night? Who knows?
There's a weird mystery. Can anyone help? So, Chinese tourists have been visiting my local shipping mall more and more. They literally come with their tour group. Untill now, nothing surprising. What keep on baffles me is that they also do their groceries. They're tour groups, so I assume they […]

I still need to regularly remind my wife that the brand's name is "Baskin & Robbins" and not "31." My kids think I'm BSing them.

And... it's already over... Definitely not enough for the plants, not enough to cool things down a bit, but definitely enough to raise the humidity to nasty levels.
Screw you, kami or yokai who's behind this...
Weather radar showing rain just in my part of town and only in my part of town.
So, it decided to rain... just and only right here... I'm not complaining (and I probably need to thank the kami or the yokai who's behind this)

La France s'apprête à renouer avec la même configuration météorologique qu'en juin : des températures de 35 à 40+°C sur de vastes territoires dès le 6 août (après trois semaines particulièrement favorables à la croissance de nos cultures).

The retrospective of Shinro Ohtake's career is well worth visiting at MIMOCA in Marugame. Some superb work. He is well known for his I♥湯" (Naoshima Bathhouse)

The summer session of the Setouchi Triennale has started today. However, if you decide to come this summer, be very careful about heat strokes.

La France affronte une saison des feux 2025 de forte intensité. À mi-saison, la Sécurité civile recense plus de 15 000 hectares de végétation brûlés depuis le début de l'été.
Entre chaleur, sécheresse et vents, la zone méditerranéenne continue de concentrer l'inquiétude en ce tout début d'août.
If that can make you feel better, it's not the station you'd normally go to before or after visiting the park (well, some clueless tourists who never look at maps do, and then they get lost)

A Japanese dragon made of wood, branches and such. It's quite impressive.
