Welcome to your akg-images April preview, full of content ideas for the coming months, with albums of supporting images.
Spring is in full swing in the northern hemisphere. Japan is delighting in an abundance of cherry blossoms, known as sakura. Other parts of the world have moved into the cooler days of autumn and are enjoying the earthy colours of the season.
Some international awareness days in April include Earth Day and International Day of Reflection on the Genocide in Rwanda.
Here are our opening hours for the Easter break.
