Could this be your Walden

Beauty is found on paths least traveled

‘Fadoodling,’ ‘horizontal refreshment,’ ‘shot twixt wind and water,’ 'play at couch quail,’ 'join giblets,’ 'have your corn ground,' and 'ride a dragon upon St. George' were all slang terms for sex in the 16th through 19th centuries. Source

Handmade “Hobbit House” in West Wales

Submitted by Florian Häusler

Since 2003 we have been living and building on the land, working in environmental projects and community. We have found it is possible to create simple shelters that are in harmony with the natural landscape, ecologically sound and are a pleasure to live in. There is something powerfully alluring in such natural buildings. Their simplicity and cost makes them accessible; their beauty and use of natural materials remind us of our ancestral right and ability to live well as part of the landscape/nature/earth. We believe this dream is possible for anyone with genuine intention, will and hard work.

This is all I've ever dreamed of, living with the land in a free yet soul fulfilling union.

Saving Wildlife One Photo at a Time with James Suter

To see more of James’ work in Africa, follow @jamessuter on Instagram.

“If we don’t do something about it, we are going to lose everything that we have here in Africa,” says 30-year-old James Suter (@jamessuter), the co-founder of Black Bean Productions — a media studio on a mission to spotlight wildlife conservation issues. Cape Town, South Africa-based James and his team recently returned from a trip to Central Kenya where they documented the world’s last three northern white rhinos — two of which are pictured here. “Pre-1960, there were over 2,000 in Central and East Africa, south of the Sahara,” James says. “And at the moment, there are three left in one location.” While the future of the northern white rhino looks grim, James isn’t losing hope. “We’re trying to educate people and trying to spread the word. And I think the same can be done by anyone.”
