DWELL

I just love this...Don't You?


Anchored upon 11 piers, this home floats at the edge of the wooded park, nestled among the boughs and branches. On the east and west sides, decks outfitted with hammocks and swings jut out Swiss Family Robinson–style. http://bit.ly/L0UxU0

Home Country


 

In northern Australia a new generation help to heal their homelands.


You just have to read this, it's inspiring, a plan that is brilliant, in it's simplicity and common sense.

Photographs by Ted Wood 
Standing atop the red cliffs
of Fish River Gorge in Australia’s Northern Territory, it’s difficult not to indulge in a fantasy of nature primordial. More than 100 feet below, fish are clearly visible in the crystalline water. Flocks of squawking white cockatoos soar through the riverine forest, and wallabies dart in and out of view. 


Beyond that: woodlands as far as the eye can see—and no sign of people.
