As photographer James D Griffioen muses, the Latin root refers both to while beasts but also to something that belongs to the dead, gone back to the Earth. Some of his shots capture this process at an incredibly late stage, such as the house above which is entirely camouflaged by the greenery that has grown to cover it – only discernible because the branches and vines conform to the shape of the structure. Others photos catch the domestic devolution at intermediate stages, snapshots of partial overgrowth where there is still some strange balance of building and nature – one could almost imagine someone still occupying this structure and simply never leaving it.

The Scariest Bathroom in the World Typically, when people go to the bathroom, they seek a quiet place. Designer Hernandez Silva had other ideas. Located inside a penthouse in Guadalajara, Mexico, the scariest bathroom in the world sits atop a 15 story elevator shaft and features a glass floor to ensure your constant terror! Those who are afraid of heights should probably avoid using this space. Photos by: Carlos Díaz Corona via [Neatorama], [HomeDsgn]

Check this out on our Partner Network Earth Day from Space There are many ways to celebrate Earth Day, from sustainability efforts (and check out our new blog, Guilty Planet) to simply appreciating nature. And while this is a beautiful shot of Forest Park right here in Portland, it doesn’t compare — in my eyes — to the perfection of Earth as seen from so far away. In October of 1946, a V-2 missile was launched from New Mexico, straight up into the air. And at its maximum height of 65 miles (just barely into what was then considered outer space), it snapped the first photographs of the Earth from Space. (And you can click every image on this page to enlarge it.) It wasn’t until Apollo 8, 22 years later, that the first color photograph of Earth was taken. And now, in the 21st Century, we’ve got a myriad of satellites, shuttles, spacecraft and rockets to choose from if we want to photograph the Earth. While, on the other side of the Earth, the United States’ Space Shuttle photographed this shot of the Aurora Borealis in 2007. That’s us, folks.
TITANIC The New Exhibition - Artifacts Among the hundreds of artifacts on display in Sears Presents Titanic: The New Exhibition there are many spectacular never-before-seen items, including some from a dive to the Titanic in 2000. Guests can see perfume samples that were being transported to New York on Titanic and an inspection card for a passenger originally booked to travel on the Majestic. The card shows Majestic crossed out and replaced with the name of the doomed Titanic. In addition to a part of the wheel from Titanic’s bridge, brass letters from a sign spelling “C deck”, garland that once decorated Titanic’s Grand Staircase, a toilet from the lavatory of a first-class state room and many, many more fascinating treasures, visitors will come face-to-face with the 15-ton “Big Piece,” the largest piece of Titanic ever recovered.
