His vision, from the constantly passing bars,
has grown so weary that it cannot hold
anything else. It seems to him there are
a thousand bars, and behind the bars, no world.
As he paces in cramped circles, over and over,
the movement of his powerful soft strides
is like a ritual dance around a center
in which a mighty will stands paralyzed.
Only at times, the curtain of the pupils
lifts, quietly. An image enters in,
rushes down through the tense, arrested muscles,
plunges into the heart and is gone.

Japanese Wisteria Tunnel
These photos were taken at the Kawachi Fuji Garden, about a four hour drive from Tokyo, but there are wisteria festivals all over Japan, including at the Kameido-Tenjin Shrine, where tourists in the Edo period often visited the famous wisteria; the Wake Wisteria Park, in Wake-cho, Okayama, and at Ashikaga Flower Park, which has three massive wisteria trellises that extend 3,280 feet squared. (Time Out Tokyo has a list of additional notable wisteria around the city worth visiting.)

WORLD’S MOST EXPENSIVE CAMERA
A Leica Series 0 from 1923 achieved a new bidders record at an auction in Vienna on 12th May, 2012: The camera had been expected to sell for around 600,000 to 800,000 euros at the WestLicht Photographica Auction in Vienna, but ended up selling for a record 2.16 million euros. For the 5th time the world record for the most expensive camera ever sold was broken at a WestLicht auction in Vienna.
The Leica 0-Series camera was sold after a furious bidding war with hopeful buyers placing bids via the phone, the internet and in the auction room itself. Only 25 of the cameras were produced in 1923 as test pieces for the 35mm film market. Only 12 of the cameras are now known to have survived. (source: +, +, +)
