North Korea itself is amazingly undeveloped too, there’s beautiful bush and reserves. They have such strict control over who goes there and what they can do that it’s pristine. I have photos from North Korea if you’re interested, but none from the DMZ ’cause that gets you kicked out of the area :)

I can’t be the only one that noticed the Shannon snake!

I have neighbors who are immigrants from South Korea. I also was fortunate enough to move out of the city into the suburbs where I live next door to open space and hear the coyotes howling in the middle of the night.

I frankly and thinking of packing in city life for something a little more radically traditionalist. By that I mean a complete rejection of modernist values for something along the lines of a ‘clan’ community…where the extended family [as opposed to the nuclear family] is of more import, artisanship and bartering take precedence over mass production and finance and so forth. It is achievable.

Shannon, did you just read the book called The World Without Us? Your mention of the DMZ in the Koreas and Chernobyl are both heavily discussed in that book.

“I love when nature takes things back.”

these kind of thoughts always remind me of that one quote from “Fight Club” about putting meat out to cure on old highways and kudzu growing as thick as wrists. nature within urban environments.

however the first thing that came to mind about untouched areas was centralia in pennsylvania with the underground fires and pretty much uninhabited town. how creepy and fairly amazing would it be to visit there? maybe a field trip is in order.

the area around Chernobyl is insane. citizens are told it is deadly, but the remaining people that live amazingly abundant lives growing their own food (in abundance) and living pretty much off the grid. the health risks have not seemed to materialized as predicted…an amazing thing to what for sure.

The land alongside railway tracks (and canals) is also really important as a wildlife corridoor between larger green spaces – I work in a small inner-city nature reserve (Camley St Natural Park, behind King’s Cross station in London – https://www.wildlondon.org.uk/reserve.php?reserve_id=70 ) which is right next to Regent’s Canal. More and more of the green space next to railway lines is getting developed in London though – generally in a very underhand manner – there has to be consultations before it’s developed, so they’ll send the bulldozers in and flatten all the trees, then there’s nothing worth saving when it comes to consulation time. Somehow this isn’t actually illegal :(

I love when nature takes things back. There are a lot of buildings like that in my area. I really enjoy art like this. Besides tattooing it is my fav. form of art. I have had so many good ideas, but none have come to fruition because I am limited on time.

dunno if my email will end up in your spam folder or not so just sending birthday well wishes from Kaira and modfrogg.

I have hopes for those pockets of wildlife.

Their safety is rather precarious; WTSHTF they will be quickly depleted of edible wildlife by hungry zombified former-city-dwellers. OTOH, many suburbs will eventually be abandoned leaving more wild lands.

Some of the greatest works of art I’ve ever seen live on the backs of mills and abandoned buildings along the train tracks.

that piece with the bunnies are way cool.
all i can think of is the ‘justice department’ (a branch of the ALF-movement that supports violence).
