Walk on the wildside

Deep sea vs outter space and the kids caught inbetween.

Magnificent Frigate Bird - Belize. We see these awesome birds on the coast in Texas, but they are usually straight overhead and a mile high. This one was surfing the stiff north wind at eye level right outside our cabin.

The Patient Gardener

A 100 year plan to grow a circle of 10 Japanese cherry trees into an hourglass shaped structure to be used as a study retreat. Trees can be shaped, sculpted, trained to grow into specific shapes, and even grafted together into a lattice, but this concept takes things to the next level.

The project is being grown on the Politecnico di Milano campus, and is designed by a group of Swedish architects called Visiondivision. The plan is to shape the trees as they grow, tying them to create a central scaffold to give an upper level, then growing the branches out to form “walls.” They even intend to weave two of the trees together to form a staircase.

The concept is similar to the living root bridges found in Meghalaya, Sumatra, and Java, where the aerial roots of certain tree species are sculpted into usable structures.

A simple 2 ft increase of water would cause trillions of dollars of damage, and displace millions of people on Earth.  So what would happen if ALL the ice melted?  We break it down with the help of Bill Nye:
