In the Polish village of Zalipie, all the
buildings are covered in painted flowers.
Over 100 years ago, when everyone had
wood-burning stoves, someone painted
a flower on their ceiling to cover a soot
stain, and it became a trend. In 1948,
the town started an annual painted
cottage competition to help recover
psychologically from WWII, and now all
the homes, churches, bridges and barns
are covered in flowers – inside and out. SourceSource 2
A Lord Of The Rings Fanart! The Old Forest near the Shire from The Fellowship Of The Ring. It’s one of my favorite places from LotR.I’m not sure if I would really like to visit it as its not a particularly friendly place..but its definitely an interesting place.A pity it didn’t make it into the movies.
