Just Because It's Green, Doesn't Make It "Green".
Urban areas should have plots of ground for parks, trees and growing gardens, period. Growing plants on buildings is absurd and not sustainable or wise in any way. Plants grow in the ground. The products required, engineering required, plumbing, mechanical, structural etc needed to accomplish plants on buildings not a sustainable choice at all. The least sustainable thing you could do. The amount of energy, materials/minerals used to accomplish plants on buildings is the opposite of sustainable.
Bikes Are Freedom
Cycling is the term now, but I still call it bike riding, just like when I was a kid. When I was a kid bike riding was like freedom to me. I could travel farther, see more things. Go where I want, when I want (mostly, until the street lights came on). All the things I can see thru these architect’s eyes.
The pack on the front holds my Nikon and two lenses. The dark cylinder is my bluetooth speaker, where I blast my playlist of the moment, don’t care who hears. Bikes are freedom.
Abandoned Dolomite Mine - Anza Borrego Park
The Dolomite Mine Ruins in Anza Borrego State Park date back to the 1930s. Once a Dolomite Marble and Magnesium Calcium Mine, this old structure is an intriguing place to explore. To the lay person, running your hands through the pure white fine powder that is still present to this day, brings to life the rich mineral deposits of ancient and metamorphic rocks overlain by marine sediments.
Some five million years ago, much of this same landscape lay below sea level, underneath a shallow sea occupying the southeastern corner of California. Natural ebb and flow of sea levels.
