Flowers made of flowers!
On April 16th, the The Netherland's nearest upcoming Flower Parade will travel the 40 kilometers
from Noordwijk to Haarlem. This year's theme is music, and if you miss this parade,
 there will be another seven floral festivals this year.

Seen at a hostel in New Zealand. 

Unique shops 1.

The shop American Eagle in New York displays your name and a picture of you taken in the shop if you bought quite many garments. 15 seconds of fame, as they call it :)

Then we have The Gap.

(From the other side of the road, you can see that even parked bicycles nearby are turned upside down.)

"Shopping turned on its head", was the campaign's slogan.

Light

Why not?

These cuties are from Orrefors in Sweden. Looking at them, it feels like Christmas again.

Home made spring

Somebody had put up green leaves of soft neon green fabrics using wire on this sleepy winter tree in the center of Stockholm.
