Bamboos are evergreen perennial flowering plants in the subfamily Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae. In bamboo, as in other grasses, the internodal regions of the stem are usually hollow and the vascular bundles in the cross-section are scattered throughout the stem instead of in a cylindrical arrangement. The dicotyledonous woody xylem is also absent. The absence of secondary growth wood causes the stems of monocots, including the palms and large bamboos, to be columnar rather than tapering. Bamboos include some of the fastest-growing plants in the world, due to a unique rhizome-dependent system. Certain species of bamboo can grow 910 mm within a 24-hour period, at a rate of almost 40 mm an hour (a growth around 1 mm every 90 seconds). Giant bamboos are the largest members of the grass family. Bamboos are of notable economic and cultural significance in South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia, being used for building materials, as a food source, and as a versatile raw product. Bamboo, like wood, is a natural composite material with a high strength-to-weight ratio useful for structures. Bamboo's strength-to-weight ratio is similar to timber, and its strength is generally similar to a strong softwood or hardwood timber. 19104

Arashiyama is a district on the western outskirts of Kyoto, Japan. It also refers to the mountain across the Ōi River, which forms a backdrop to the district. Arashiyama is a nationally designated Historic Site and Place of Scenic Beauty. Wikipedia
This is the toy that my grandmother showed me how to make.
I remember the old days and made a boat with small bamboo leaf that is just 2 inches. The size of the finished boat is 1 inch .
I used to play this small boat floating on the water..

Early morning at the bamboo grove in the Arashiyama area of Kyoto, Japan.
Sorry for the radio silence recently, I've been SO busy! I was in Ireland for Stena Line / Tourism Ireland, then I literally had 30 mins to pack before heading to the airport to go to Ecuador for the Ministerio de Turismo.
After that, it was Northern Ireland, followed by a last minute job in Iceland for Issey Miyake and finally I've spent the last three weeks in Japan for RT Holidays. PHEW!
Thankfully I should get a little break for xmas before heading to South East Asia for Jan and Feb (Thailand, Laos and Vietnam at the minute).
If anyone uses Instagram (@thefella) or Snapchat (username 'thefella'), you can follow my adventures there in real-time.

A climax of my last summer Japanese vacation: visiting Arashiyama Bamboo forest is something unforgettable.
Like a forever tattoo on your heart.

Das Eden Project entstand nach einer Idee des englischen Archäologen und Gartenliebhabers Tim Smit in einer stillgelegten Kaolingrube nahe St Austell. Von der Idee im Jahr 1995 bis zur Eröffnung der Anlage am 17. März 2001 dauerte es sechs Jahre. Charakterisiert wird der Garten durch die zwei riesigen Gewächshäuser, die aus jeweils vier miteinander verschnittenen geodätischen Kuppeln in der Bauweise von Richard Buckminster Fuller bestehen. Hier werden verschiedene Vegetationszonen simuliert. Die Gewächshäuser des Eden Projects sind derzeit die größten der Welt.
Die Entwürfe für die geodätischen Kuppeln stammen vom britischen Architekturbüro Nicholas Grimshaw, die Tragwerksplanung von Anthony Hunt, ihre Ausführung erfolgte durch die Würzburger Firma Mero. Gedeckt sind die mehrfach miteinander verschnittenen Kuppeln mit doppelwandigen Kissen aus ETFE, einem besonders leichten, transparenten Kunststoff. Die Folienkissen wurden in eine Konstruktion aus standardisierten, sechs- und fünfeckigen Stahlrohrrahmenelementen (Raumfachwerk) eingepasst. Die Raumfachwerkkonstruktionen überdecken stützenfrei eine Fläche von insgesamt 23.000 m² (Oberfläche etwa 30.000 m²) und haben eine Höhe von bis zu 50 m bei einem Durchmesser von bis zu 125 m.

The project was conceived by Tim Smit and designed by architect Nicholas Grimshaw and engineering firm Anthony Hunt and Associates (now part of Sinclair Knight Merz). Davis Langdon carried out the project management, Sir Robert McAlpine and Alfred McAlpine[4] did the construction, MERO designed and built the biomes, and Arup was the services engineer, economic consultant, environmental engineer and transportation engineer. Land use consultants led the masterplan and landscape design. The project took 2½ years to construct and opened to the public on 17 March 2001.
The Tropical Biome, covers 1.56 ha (3.9 acres) and measures 55 m (180 ft) high, 100 m (328 ft) wide, and 200 m (656 ft) long. It is used for tropical plants, such as fruiting banana plants, coffee, rubber and giant bamboo, and is kept at a tropical temperature and moisture level.
The Tropical Biome
The Mediterranean Biome covers 0.654 ha (1.6 acres) and measures 35 m (115 ft) high, 65 m (213 ft) wide, and 135 m (443 ft) long. It houses familiar warm temperate and arid plants such as olives and grape vines and various sculptures.
The Outdoor Gardens represent the temperate regions of the world with plants such as tea, lavender, hops, hemp and sunflowers, as well as local plant species.
The covered biomes are constructed from a tubular steel (hex-tri-hex) with mostly hexagonal external cladding panels made from the thermoplastic ETFE. Glass was avoided due to its weight and potential dangers. The cladding panels themselves are created from several layers of thin UV-transparent ETFE film, which are sealed around their perimeter and inflated to create a large cushion. The resulting cushion acts as a thermal blanket to the structure. The ETFE material is resistant to most stains, which simply wash off in the rain. If required, cleaning can be performed by abseilers. Although the ETFE is susceptible to punctures, these can be easily fixed with ETFE tape. The structure is completely self-supporting, with no internal supports, and takes the form of a geodesic structure. The panels vary in size up to 9 m (29.5 ft) across, with the largest at the top of the structure.
The ETFE technology was supplied and installed by the firm Vector Foiltec, which is also responsible for ongoing maintenance of the cladding. The steel spaceframe and cladding package (with Vector Foiltec as ETFE subcontractor) was designed, supplied and installed by MERO (UK) PLC, who also jointly developed the overall scheme geometry with the architect, Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners.
The entire build project was managed by McAlpine Joint Venture.

Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Kyoto, Japan
I'm not a fan of being in photos (hence why I take them)... But I thought that the bamboo would create great bokeh, so I used myself. Took me a few tries to get the focusing/framing right :)

- Pleioblastus viridistriatus
This is a beautiful, compact, evergreen, semi-dwarf bamboo whose large, green-striped, bright golden-yellow leaves give it a tropical appearance. Height: 2 to 5 feet.
Perfect for the front of a sunny border and contrasting well with green-leaved grasses and bamboos, it has beautiful, purple-green canes that help to add architectural value to the garden.
- Pleioblastus viridistriatus is een decoratieve bamboe met schitterende contrastrijke tekeningen in zijn blad. Deze bamboesoort is ook bekend onder de naam Pleioblastus auricoma.
Het blad is redelijk zacht en geel tot goudgeel gekleurd met verschillende groene strepen in de lengte richting over het blad. De halmen van deze bamboe zijn groen tot rood gekleurd en zijn fijn en dun. Vanaf mei t/m september groeien er nieuwe scheuten. Deze bamboe wordt bij ons niet veel hoger dan 1 meter, in Japan kunnen ze wel meer dan twee meter worden.
A post before bed, to remember the warm afternoons in these cold winter moments.

The bamboo or gentle lemurs are the lemurs in genus Hapalemur. These medium-sized primates live exclusively on Madagascar. The greater bamboo lemur, formerly known as Hapalemur simus, was considered part of this genus, but is now classified as belonging to the genus Prolemur.
Bamboo lemurs prefer damp forests where bamboo grows. Although they can be active any time of the day, they are often active just after dawn. Though primarily arboreal, they sometimes come down to the ground.
The lesser gentle lemurs live together in groups of three to five animals, which probably represent families composed of a male, one or two females, and their offspring. They communicate with a variety of sounds.
They are called bamboo lemurs because they almost exclusively eat bamboo. How bamboo lemurs can detoxify the high amounts of cyanide (from bamboo shoots) in their diets is unknown. Their life expectancy is up to 12 years.
The bamboos are evergreen perennial flowering plants in the subfamily Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae. The word "bamboo" comes from the Kannada term bambu, which was introduced to English through Indonesian and Malay.
Chihuly / Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden
From Stephen L.: "Strangely natural and surreal at the same time."
This is one of my favorite Chihuly installations anywhere. I'm not sure why, but I think it has to do with the bamboo and glass blending together. Some prefer not to see the hand of man in a natural setting; however, it seems to work so well together here. All credit to nature and the man who envisioned this installation.

In tropical places like Penang, it is all about escaping the sun by making shade. Although the sun is often behind clouds and not as scorching as the Australian sun, the humid heat is too much and everyone seeks relief in any way possible. Shade is the first thing to do in reducing exposure to heat.
