An annual architectural celebration of ice is up and running again in New Hampshire and several other states in US. Ice Castles, which are both temporary art installations and tourist attractions, feature towers, tunnels, archways and caves, all created by growing, harvesting and arranging thousands of icicles and then blasting them with sprinklers. Youngsters explore caves at Ice Castles, Friday, Jan. 10, 2025, in North Woodstock, N.H. (AP Photo/Robert F. Bukaty) The company behind the displays has expanded since its first installation in 2011.

After a mild winter last year, officials were thrilled that temperatures were cold enough...

A drone view shows dragon and cat figures created by Thunyapong Jaikum, a Thai farmer and artist, in rice fields in Chiang Rai province, north of Thailand, January 11, 2025. REUTERS/Artorn Pookasook A red dragon, a feline deity and dogs and cats cover Tanyapong Jaikham's rice paddies in northern Thailand, a living tribute in rice plants to flooding that inundated nearby areas in September, stranding thousands.

I was born in a neighbourhood of Athens that separates Kolonaki, an area frequented by politicians and celebrities, from Exarchia, a district favoured by rebels, intellectuals and artists. The location probably helped turn me into a journalist: caught between sides, seeking answers. I returned to the Greek capital as a Reuters correspondent in 2007, on the eve of a decade-long debt crisis. I covered riots, anti-austerity protests, bailout negotiations and repeated elections. The country's struggle for change marked that period and contributed to an Athens' makeover. People enjoy the sunset and a city view with the Parthenon temple on the Acropolis hill, from atop Lycabettus Hill.
