"I did not know that there were so many other people who were hungry for those positive pictures, those beautiful pictures, those random sometimes irrelevant pictures of everyday life in Somalia. So now it’s become a responsibility to continue showing the world the beauty Somalia is."

Today is Holi also know as the Festival of Colour.

Holi is a festival celebrated in north India. It marks the coming of Spring, usually in March.Some families hold religious ceremonies, but for many Holi is more a time for fun.

Bonfires are lit and roasting grains, pop corn, coconut and chick peas are thrown on by Hindu families

The next day, people of all ages go into the streets for fun and paint-throwing. Everyone gets involved throwing powder paint in the air and coloured water.

Happy Holi everyone!!

Nils-Udo (born 1937) is a Bavarian artist who has been creating environmental art since the 1960s when he moved away from painting and the studio and began to work with and in nature.

Even if I work parallel to nature and only intervene with the greatest possible care, a basic internal contradiction remains.
