@ Josh . in constant envy, though i appreciate how much work it would take to maintain. the pond to be placed within the greenhouse? the plan to keep the humidity in there for veg etc.? I have never seen that before. what are the plans for the pond? the geodesic i presume to catch as much sun as possible.
with too much time on my hands and in my brains ( carework) experimented with wallpaper and nature shots. (the inside and outside theme)

Amazing photo of Autumn colours, Ahavati. It's what I miss in Portugal in this region; it's all pine & eucalyptus plantations (despite much local opposition, especially against eucalyptus) but big business won out and got permits from local councils. It's terrible; the water table is dropping year-on- year because eucalpytus sends roots far and wide and uses enormous amounts of water, degrading the soil - but hey, it's needed for toilet paper and kitchen paper-towels.

My basic theory is that plants like water and the sound of running water (I read "The secret Life of Plants" ages ago in the 1970s). Amazingly, when I dug out the patch for the dome, I found an abandoned borehole with water 3m down, so I intend to use it in a circular loop with a little pump. And yes, you've got it, it will help with humidity in Summer though I'll have to do a lot of experimenting because it will get hot too. There are exactly 100 main triangular windows I have to do, and I plan that 20 of them will be opening. I'm planning a mix of poly-carbonate, glass and polytunnel-plastic, all rather experimental.
I don't have any other plans for the pond yet, but as a former mining engineer (I worked for the National Coal Board in the Lancashire & Cannock Chase pits in the 70s & 80s), I'm into digging.

I hate that, Josh. I don't understand why hemp isn't used for everything from paper to clothing. It's so much more sustainable.

One of my favorite subjects to photograph are abandonded houses, towns, and buildings in general. A few years back I drove through a time-warp into a farm house from the late 1800's, and the surrounding houses ( this is one of those houses ). After some research I discovered this little area was thriving with its own little stores, etc., until the state built a bypass, which rerouted traffic, and thus drove the little area out of business.

there's something so beautifully nostalgic poetic & haunting .. in the rusts & ruins ... as if humming in lively pains & artistic melancholy... the mystical irony that this life is .. Lovely capture Dear A! Reminds some of my fav followed photographic artists are fab specialists of Ruins & Rusts.. Thanks for sharing this.. Light & Love xx:)
this is one yellowy sunny dusk day before yesterday... glowing golden yet dimming fast towards a dullening twilight.. a 'magical hour' capture of a cracked & wet monsoonal algal spotty wall of the terrace here... with a singular fullbloom redrose.. the contrasting dark twigs & hairy Bermuda grassy~ weedy inflorescence raising up to queue in the pic space ..add up to the noisy details in der. Not a great pic sure..but ruins n brokens reminded me of this

There absolutely is, Uma. And abandoned buildings contain such an energy about them. Particularly the ones that Nature is reclaiming. It reminds me that the earth will survive man.

I absolutely love roses! That's a beautiful capture of contrast between nature and manufactured, as well as new against old.

Josh said:Great photos Ahavati & Uma ... I wonder if someone will photograph me when I am an abandoned ruin and they'll find something interesting to comment on, and wonder what he looked like in his prime
Thanks, Josh! LOL! Ya know, I can totally see that! Especially if you're discovered in the middle of one of your geode creations!
