The Obamas hiking in the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Holy crap. Imagine how crazy awesome it would be to come around a bend on a hiking trail, sweaty and wearing those ugly hiking pants, look up and see the President and the First Lady.
BEST HIKE EVER! -
This amazing house was build in 2006 by Arquitectura Orgánica. A young couple with two children from Mexico City who after living in a conventional home wanted to change to one integrated to nature. The goal of this project was to make it feel like an internal inhabitant of a snail, like a mollusk moving from one chamber to another, like a symbiotic dweller of a huge fossil maternal cloister.
uh can i live here
This looks very Gaudi-esque.

I posted this some months back. Seems to have gained traction recently. Hundreds of parks are being closed across the country, and they don’t need much money to stay open. Meanwhile, police departments are getting new tanks, drones, sound canons, and other testosterone bullshit.
The First 70: Closing Parks In California
The state of California is set to close 70 state parks in an effort to save money (which is a bad idea in itself and probably won’t work). This means that thousands of acres of natural history and beauty will no longer be maintained.
But the parks will not be erased. Instead, they will just lose their protectors, left to rot and deteriorate. How will we save them from polluters now? From vandals? From fire? How will we preserve these unspoiled lands and the life they contain?
The First 70 is a film project to draw attention to this misguided effort. Visit their site to find out how you can see the film and what you can do to help.

Iceberg in Argentina gives spectators a rare show!
The iceberg flipped over in Argentina while people captured the event on their cameras. Here’s what the author says about the event under her Youtube video:
osibaruch writes:“This Iceberg was “calved” by Argentina’s Uppsala glacier. While we were passing by it with a catamaran, the huge berg lost a part of itself (look at the right side sinking) and then flipped over with a huge roar. In the process of melting this happens all the time, but it is seldom that it is captured on video WHEN it happens…”
This just blew my mind!
