Yin and Yang of New York

One of a series of awesome pictures by photographer Stephen Wilkes of New York from day to night. Kind of like time lapse photography on steroids. The website described it as a 2-D version of time lapse video.

Flying Rhinos

Mission to transfer endangered Black Rhinos to a secret location. Don't worry, they were a) blindfolded, b) asleep.

Festival of Lights

It's Diwali - the five day celebration and festival of lights. Here's a satellite image from NASA of India on the first day of Diwali.

Flederhaus (Hammock House)

Yet another reason to visit Vienna :) This simple and fun open air "hammock house" was recently erected in a public park. Great views and a comfortable setting...what more can one ask for?

Yes? No? Maybe...?

Gorgeous seaside retreat

I'm ashamed I haven't updated my blog in so long, especially since it doesn't involve anything strenuous and only reposting things I find interesting....* sigh* Forgive me

Here's a home that I came across on Freshome.com that really struck a chord with me. I love all the clean lines, the neutral colors and the minimalist vibe.

See more pictures here :)

Narrowest home

How about that? Soon to be the world's narrowest house. It has a retractable stair that comes down so you can enter the 14.5 square meter "home." A little claustrophobic for my taste but what a cool concept... I hope that one skylight is enough to provide ample natural light.
