I’ve been a member of the Urban Moon Project flickr group for some time (it was previously known as Magician of the Urban Landscape), and so I’m pleased to see them now on tumblr, here.
I expect this will be the first of many reblogs that This city called Earth makes from their collection. I recommend you follow them.

Baatara gorge waterfall (Balaa gorge waterfall) is a waterfall in the Tannourine, Lebanon.Baatara gorge waterfall Lebanon
The waterfall descends the Baatara Pothole, located on the Lebanon Mountain Trail. Discovered in 1952, the waterfall drops 255 m into a cave of jurassic limestone. The waterfall and accompanying sinkhole were fully mapped in the 1980s by the Speleo club du liban. The cave is also known as the “Cave of the Three Bridges.” During the spring snow melt, a 90-100 meter cascade falls behind the three bridges and then down into the 250 meter chasm. photo source

The Oakes twins have created a machine that separates the images projected from each eye so the user can scan the world with one eye and draw it with the other, as if tracing onto reality. The results are remarkably realistic drawings which seem to appear effortlessly. The twins’ exploration of perspective makes strides in twin fields science and art, and although the works the 3D Drawing Machine facilitates are remarkable feats of realism, the true artistic endeavor are not the products but the vehicle itself.

LATimes solid piece on economic impacts of climate change. Sea level rise and other impacts will cut into tourism and tax dollars. Presents a massive sink hole for municipal infrastructure dollars. Couple this with the short-cycle, short-sighted nature of political “leadership,” and coastal cities and home owners are in big, big trouble.
Rising sea levels could take economic toll on California beaches: A state-commissioned study by San Francisco State says erosion and storm damage by the advancing ocean over the next century could cut into tourism and tax revenue.
