Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado: what dreams are made of (via)
Colorado! It just keeps looking better and better.
On the edge of the Kalahari Desert in Namibia, sand dunes are encroaching onto once-fertile lands in the north. Healthy vegetation appears red in this image; in the center, notice the lone red dot. It is the result of a center-pivot irrigation system, evidence that at least one optimistic farmer continues to work the fields despite the approaching sand.This is a false-color composite image made using near infrared, red, and green wavelengths. The image has also been sharpened using the sensor’s panchromatic band. (via earthobservatory)

Roadtrip?
Haley will be here for her spring break and we’re itching to go somewhere.
Options so far: Chicago and Austin. I’ve been to Chicago a dozen times and we’d like to go somewhere new, but not too far away.
Anyone know of anything cool within 8-10 hours or so of Kansas City?

Probably the most beautiful song ever written about street racing.

Kramer is perfect for re-imaginings; his humor is timeless and doesn’t even need a context to be funny much of the time.

Inspired by another post here on Tumblr, I decided to look into the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong a bit more, it truly was one of the most amazing and terrifying places on earth. Being slightly smaller than an NFL stadium, the structure was built of 350 smaller interconnected buildings and hosted, at its peak, a population density of 5 million people per square mile.
To put those numbers in perspective, this would be like taking the entire population of metro Philadelphia, the 4th largest in the US, and putting it in 1 square mile instead of 1,744.
The area was also largely ungoverned and unregulated. Factories, apartments, schools, temples, churches, shops, cafes, hotels and almost anything else one could imagine were housed within the structure that never had a full blueprint of it done. Buildings were built onto buildings, expanded, rebuilt, and re-purposed as needed without a central authority of any kind.
Within the structure, natural light was almost non-existent, and an unknown number of miles of jury-rigged wires provided electricity to everything. Water constantly dripped down to the lower levels from both rain and leaking pipes, while garbage filled every passage. A constant yellow haze filled the structure and there were never any government safety inspections.
The Kowloon Walled City was demolished in the early 1990s as part of the deal that returned Hong Kong to the Chinese from the British. The entire area is now a park.
I find places like this fascinating, it is just incredible what we, humans, build and live in. This, hive, for lack of a better term, was one of the most interesting structures I’ve yet looked at.

‘Barnacle’ Bill Louwjma navigates toward his first set of traps for the day on his stone crabbing boat, ‘The Whatever’, off the coast of Everglades City, Florida in the Gulf of Mexico. With a population of only 479 in the 2000 census, ‘Everglades’ still remains a bustling little town with two main industries of fishing and tourism with a strong sense of local pride and community. During the 1970s and 1980s much of the town’s residents became involved in an elaborate drug smuggling operation, and by some counts as many as 80 percent of the adult male population has spent time in prison.
