Couple Quit Their Jobs, to build a Tiny House to travel around wonderful North America

It is somewhere two years ago, when my partner, Guillaume, and I were both burdened by high rent, a multitude of belongings, college debt and careers that let us to maintain that lifestyle. At the start, I was believed I’d never be able to pursue my passion for writing and Guillaume felt the same way about his photography. One day, we’ve picked up a novel idea of we came across tiny houses. This is beautifully artistically designed tiny dwellings stimulated us to spend our lives and pursue our dreams. We came up with a unique plan of to build a tiny home, and then travel around North America for one year. We’d really like to create a travel journalism portfolio about alternative lifestyles. He’d photograph. I’d write.

We originated our tiny house build with zero construction experience and it is all about of experience we’ve gotten through. We’ve adopted the policy of we’ll learn as we go” attitude and we didn’t realize was that we weren’t just building a home; we were also stimulating ourselves to reconsideration the idea of “home” altogether. After dozens of errors, hard life lessons and a brutal downsize, we hit the road with our one-of-a-kind tiny house on wheels!

Therefore after a painstaking six months and 10,000 miles later, our tiny abode has taken us on a real wild adventure. You know, along the way, we’ve met many like-minded people who build and reside in insignificant structures such as: tiny homes, tree houses, yurts, homemade house boats, etc. Guillaume photos and these alternative lifestyle pioneers in their innovative dwellings, while I write down their stories.

Dragon Lizard Captured looks like Playing with Leaf Guitar in Indonesia



Aditya Permana, a professional photographer in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in recent times captured this once-in-a-lifetime photograph of a forest dragon lizard that looks like it’s playing a guitar!  Aditya says; he insisted that he did not manipulate the lizard, that he “did not straight photograph the lizard at first, until the lizards feel tranquil and comfortable around me. I noticed it looked like it was playing a guitar and it didn’t move at all. I’d be thinking that such type of opportunity is to take incredible photos a life time chance. Normally wildlife photographer cares not to disturb nature, and they’re very commonly make picture of sensitive animals. Ethic is a part of nature photography.

Bring Your Walls to Life with This Plant Wall Trophy



Having in mind all the wonderful, countless things human fantasy has created; I’m sure you’d be wondered why would people desire to adorn their walls with dead animal’s heads? Well, this seems an incredible idea to turn plants into vegan wall mounts with this spectacular design, superbly formed by a team of Italian designers and inspired by the Japanese flower arrangement “ikebana.” Which is referred to as “Living Flowers” is an ancient Japanese art of harmonious flower arrangement. 

However, it is just like re-known practice of bonsai, “ikebana” has its traditional rules and spiritual aspects as well. By now, different styles have evolved from the first traditional arrangement, and the practice has become more flexible. Although this flexibility of styles inspired Fabio Milito & Paula Studio to create the interchangeable Elkebana wall mount. Elkebana is the first trophy for plant lovers. You just need flowers and imagination.”- Fabio Milito, the designer, writes on his website. 

Perhaps few peoples criticizing this idea and even the word "adorn" is not even befitting for this. It would not be beautiful, for the memory of an innocent being's forced, violent death, cannot be beautiful for me. If you want so much such an "ornament" there’re statues which imitate real animals in a perfect way and would be far better option to complete your rustic styled home. About these criticism they’re pretty indeed, a nice idea to be cherished.

Weasels Magical Ride on Woodpecker’s Back



In the first look, this seems like a fantastic animal rendition of Jasmine’s magic carpet ride from Disney’s classic Aladdin, the photo is real and the truth behind it is somewhat more sinister. Martin Le-May, a hobby photographer in East London capture these photographs, when a baby Weasel takes a magical ride on woodpecker’s back fighting for their lives over Hornchurch Country Park.

Le-May says; he was walking in the park with his wife when they heard, and then saw, the fight unfold. When the bird flew right across them, they could see it had a small mammal on its back and that’s when he snapped these pictures. Normally weasels love to rob nests, but this one was perhaps after the woodpecker itself. In any case, he seems to have been foiled for now. The woodpecker left with its life. The weasel just disappeared into the long grass, hungry. 

The event's not as lovely as it seems but what a great photographic moment and capture, for a brief moment I thought the woodpecker had offered a lift to the baby weasel out of love a bit disappointed. Therefore what a photographic moment! You were at the right time, and the right place. I really recommend you enter it in a photo contest. This is one of a kind!

Artist Has Spent 7 Years Turning UK Forests



A talented multimedia artist Ellie Davies has spent seven years turning landscapes throughout the United Kingdom into attractive and ghostly works of art. Into works of Art Ellie Davies by introducing subtle elements to these landscapes, she turns them into meditations on our relationships with the landscapes we grow up and live in. The artist has weaved something really magical into something even more magical, by creating beauty is art, and it is enhancing beauty. He particularly like the pictures where the forest looks veiled in a curtain of fireflies.

The forest represents the confluence of nature, culture, and human activity,” Davies writes on her website. “Forests are powerful symbols in folklore, fairy tale and myth, places of enchantment and magic as well as of danger and mystery. The recent history they have come to be associated with psychological states relating to the unconscious. Against this backdrop my work explores the ways in which identity is formed by the landscapes we live and grow up in.” The photographs are extremely gorgeous on their own, but each series also has its own intent on the artists’ part, which can be found on her website. We’ve the deepest respect for Elli's photography work in forests. She captures an atmosphere that lures you to look harder and deeper and be sure to visit it to see more of her work!Website
