The “Ice & Snow World” across the Song Hua River is Part of the Harbin “Ice Lantern Festival”, at night all sculptures, up to 80 mtr high, are colourful lighted with LED. Over a 100.000 tons of ice blocks cut from the Song Hua River are used for the festival. Harbin with a population of almost 3.5 million, is heralded as the Ice City for its well-known unbelievably impressive ice & snow creations during the yearly international “Ice & Snow Festival” from the end of December until early March.
Harbin is also well known besides his important historic & economic past & present for China, for its historical Russian heritage, this cultural influence is still notable till today.
Everywhere in the City you will find Ice Carvings of all Sizes, besides there are several Expositions in different Park. The three major Parks are the Snow Sculptures at the Park on Sun Island, they are more artistic, the ice carvings at the Zhao Lin Park - Harbin Ice & Snow World are gigantic & illuminated at Night, in the centre of the city is the Disneyland Ice Festival.

With the time passed, ice-lanterns embodied their cultural features & artistic fascination gradually of making of ice-lanterns, ice sculptures started in the 1960s.

Due to the Siberian high & Harbin in the Heilongjiang Province location above 45 degrees north latitude, the city is known for having the most bitterly cold winters among major Chinese cities. Winter temperatures can drop to below -35° C., when I visited Harbin beginning of January the Temperature varied between -20°C & -26°C below, but with dry air.

It seems that Japanese architecture likes the name such as international something.
The picture uploaded to my photo stream yesterday was stylish Tokyo International Forum and Today’s is “International Arcade” which is located a few hundreds meters away from the glass building of International Forum.
International Arcade is a shopping arcade that was built under very long railroad bridge for the famous bullet train Shinkansen, coinciding with Tokyo Olympic Games held fifty years ago.
My friends say the arcade aimed at acquiring foreign currency was lively at that time. The visitors, however, marked a sharp decrease since the Japanese Yen has strengthened.
Now almost all of the shops are shuttered and arcade is deserted as you see in this photo.
But who can imagine state-of-the-art Shinkansen runs on this old railroad bridge and luxury Imperial Hotel stands right near the hidden arcade.
Recently this “gap” in downtown Tokyo is becoming the most interesting matter in my photography and it is one of the main reason I started the project Stroll in Tokyo.
Times For New Muses - International Women's Day - March 8, 2021 by Daniel Arrhakis (2021)
With the music : The Muses - Sound of Silence :
In the International Women's Day - March 8, 2021 my tribute to all the muses that inspires humankind true times, but specially to all new muses that inspires a true change in our contemporaneous society who with their courage, example and sacrifice strive to make this world more egalitarian and more tolerant.
The transformation of our society is above all a transformation of values but also the respect for all individual freedoms and aspirations.

49 International Barcelona-Sitges Vintage Car Rally
The international Rally of vintage cars of Barcelona-Sitges, organized by Fomento de Turismo de Sitges uninterruptedly from year 1958, is sponsored at the present time by Audi and allows to see pieces of authentic museum in operation (previous to 1924) and with its passengers dressed in the clothing of the years in which the vehicle was created.
With the passage of the years the event has been rooting and at the moment it is considered as one of most traditional at European level. According to the organizing sources it would be the second more important encounter of vintage cars in Europe behind a classic one like London-Brighton.
Producing cars since late 1898, the Renault corporation was founded in 1899 as Société Renault Frères by Louis Renault, his brothers Marcel and Fernand, and his friend Thomas Evert. Louis was a bright, aspiring young engineer who had already designed and built several models before teaming up with his brothers, who had honed their business skills working for their father's textiles firm. While Louis handled design and production, Marcel and Fernand handled company management.
The first Renault car, the Renault Voiturette 1CV was sold to a friend of Louis' father after giving him a test ride on December 24, 1898. The client was so impressed with the way the tiny car ran and how it climbed the streets that he bought it.
The brothers immediately recognized the publicity that could be obtained for their vehicles by participation in motor racing and Renault made itself known through achieving instant success in the first city-to-city races held in Switzerland, resulting in rapid expansion for the company. Both Louis and Marcel Renault raced company vehicles, but Marcel was killed in an accident during the 1903 Paris-Madrid race. Although Louis Renault never raced again, his company remained very involved, including their Renault AK 90CV winning the first ever Grand Prix motor racing event in 1906. Louis was to take full control of the company as the only remaining brother in 1906 when Fernand retired for health reasons.
The Renault reputation for innovation was fostered from very early on. In 1899, Renault launched the first production sedan car as well as patenting the first turbocharger. At the time, cars were very much luxury items, and the price of the smallest Renaults available being 3000 francs reflected this; an amount it would take ten years for the average worker at the time to earn. As well as cars, Renault manufactured taxis, buses and commercial cargo vehicles in the pre-war years, and during World War I (1914 - 1918) branched out into ammunition, military airplanes and vehicles such as the revolutionary Renault FT-17 tank. Renault became the world's leading manufacturer of airplane engines, and the success of the company's military designs were such that Renault himself was honored by the Allies for his company's contributions to their victory. By the end of the war, Renault was the number one private manufacturer in France.
