Beautiful ongoing project by Russian artist Leonid Tishkov and photographer Boris Bendikov.

“Private Moon” is a visual poem telling the story of a man who met the Moon and stayed with her for the rest of his life.

“Each photograph is a poetic tale, a little poem in its own right. Therefore each picture is accompanied by my own verse, which I wrote when I drew my sketches for the photographs. So it turns out that the Moon overcomes our loneliness in the universe uniting many of us around it.” - Leonid Tishkov

100,000 LED lights float down the Sumida River, Tokyo Japan.

The Tokyo Hotaru Festival 2012 took place recently, releasing 100,000 blue LED lights to float in the Sumida River. The bulbs rolled along the waves of the river bank, mimicking hotaru (the Japanese word for “fireflies”), for the festival that celebrates the Japanese tradition of watching fireflies float along a watercourse.
