If a tree falls in the woods and you don’t know the species than it might have been a shrub.

If you can’t categorize something it doesn’t exist. If a tree falls in the woods and you don’t know the species than it might have been a shrub. Assuming that was the case there was no tree to be heard. Shrubs really aren’t trees. An orange is an orange not an apple.

10 Beautiful Buildings Inspired by Famous Books

by .

Truly wonderful books have a habit of growing and changing years after they’ve been written, worming themselves into places you might not expect — our decisions, our aesthetic and cultural sense, and even, with the right kind of care, our physical world. Case in point: Orhan Pamuk’s Museum of Innocence, which opened in Istanbul last weekend, is an extensive museum (reportedly, he spent almost all of his 1.5 million Nobel Prize dollars on it) devoted to expanding on and complementing his recent novel, The Museum of Innocence. Since we can’t make it to Turkey to experience the place for ourselves, we’ve collected a few other amazing buildings born from books — whether inspired by particular novels, stories, or a writer’s entire oeuvre — to tide us over.

Train in all its beauty

Lets take our chances and go nowhere, forever and once we get there we can turn around and see the world in the rear view mirror.

As far as moons go

This is a pretty incredible site. No humanity, just endless eternity. Found in empty parking lots, craters, and simple deserts. We will live forever and we will die tomorrow. The world will always survive and beauty will always exist.

This is how it should be

Let nature take the lead. Or at least thats how I see it all. It’s so important.
