#hello nature

hi cheerios, I have temporarily turned off asks because we're headed to a place with possibly no internet reception and I didn't want to get back to an overflowing inbox of prompts or asks (assuming anyone was going to send asks lmao if not I am greatly exaggerating my own importance) as soon as we're back I'll turn it back onnnnn

It’s December 31st and I’m sitting here thinking if I should take a bike ride to grandma’s instead of a bus

Rabbit! There were so many of them on the IU campus, but it’s good to see them here at home too!

Hello Nature, the most recent ideas-based challenge organised by Combo Competitions, asked participants to design a structure that celebrates nature on an expansive site in northern Sweden at the foot of Omneberget mountain. Located in an area known as the High Coast (Höga Kusten), the site sits within an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Designers were asked to “highlight the relationship between humanity and the rest of the planet” in putting forward proposals which “reconnect to nature.” As a twist, entrants had to include both educational and recreational elements to their submissions. The entries, which range from a mountain of ‘conservation drones’ (with a control tower and charging station at its peak) to a collection of four extruded concrete plinths, all seek to explore our relationship with the wild when 50% of the world’s population live in urban centres.

From the jury. By choosing a structural concept associated to childhood memories, the proposal adds a playful twist to the more serious matter of reconnecting man with nature. Convincingly presented as a year-round destination, the balanced mix of learning and outdoor activities offers an enticing experience for people of all ages.

No wi-fi for a week and a half. And my new comic books will be arriving after I've left. I'm crying. Goodbye world. I'm off to live in the wild.
