black & white photograph of young Diane Keaton smiling and standing next to a white refrigerator in a barren-looking kitchen. her cat Buster is crouched on top of the fridge playing with/swatting her hair in the upper right hand corner. she's wearing a long skinny white scarf with a dot-grid pattern, a high-neck white blouse with an ascot/kerchief around the neck, and a black blazer/skirt or blazer dress over what looks like a vest

Wakayama Castle glows with timeless beauty. 🏯
Built 440 years ago, this historic landmark is captivating in every season – but mid-autumn brings something quietly special. When the full moon rises behind the castle’s tiered tower, it creates a scene that’s hard to forget. 🌕
