Amazingly surreal Las Pozas in the rainforest by Xilitla in the Mexico mountains. Created by Edward James in the 40′s, it includes more than 80 acres of natural waterfalls and pools interlaced with towering surrealist sculptures and buildings. The many trails throughout the garden site are composed of steps, ramps, bridges and narrow, winding walkways that traverse the valley walls. It was supposed to be a “Garden of Eden” containing a huge variety of plants and animals.

AU Moments | Zach & Chris spend hours chatting on Skype

Who’s writing this? rabidchild67? semper-ama?

They look like they are each sitting in their mom’s kitchen…

I hope when it comes time for the Skype sex, they are no longer sitting in their mothers’ kitchens.

Yes, let’s hope they go to the basement rumpus room for that…

Abandoned Green Village in China

A once prosperous fishing village, this green village is completed deserted in present day China; nature has reclaimed its existing civilization. Located on Goqui Island at the mouth of Yangtze river, the mysterious village has been captured by an unknown Shanghai-based photographer. Each image details nature’s invasion: every house is covered by ivy and vine, which makes for a spectacular, majestic view.
