ok, look, a house!
i’m obsessed with these little cabins in the angeles national forest (which is why i’ve posted them before). and i don’t really want to know much about them, as i prefer to think of them as abandoned hobbit houses.
or something.there are around 50 of them, perched over and next to the river that might or might not have a name and that runs through sturtevant falls. sturtevant river?
ok.and at present they’re all boarded up and kind of ominous.
but pretty.
and ominous.
and without electricity.
just waiting for their hobbits.oh, and they’re also in los angeles. i mean, i’ve said it before, and i’ll say it many times again in the future, tautologically, but we live in a very odd city county place.
if you live in, say, new york. or brussels. or berlin. or tokyo. you might be asking yourself, legitimately, ‘how is this a city?’
but yes, it is.
and/or county.
urban semantics.

Bangkok Tree House - Thailand
Nestled on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, in the green oasis of Bang Krachao, Bangkok Tree House accommodates guests in 12 sleeping units called “cozy nests” and named after insects. Built from local bamboo, glass, and recycled metal, these include stylish treehouses, a treetop bungalow, and the stunning View With a Room – a wall/ceiling-free sleeping platform elevated 7 m above mangrove palm trees. Another striking feature is the River Nest, which allows guests to spend the night on a floating bed right in the middle of the river. The hotel’s restaurant serves excellent organic food, including a variety of vegan dishes.
