These photos are from a set called 25 abandoned Yugoslavia monuments that look like they’re from the future. The monuments were commissioned by the Yugoslavian president in the 60s and 70s to commemorate World War II sites. Apparently, when the country dissolved in the 1990s, the striking monuments were all abandoned and now sit untended and with their significance unexplained. (Via Ffffound!)
Photos from a beautiful house on the Greek island of Tinos. Lots more photos on the style files website.

This is another one from the style files. I really like the brown wood beams, white everything else combo.

Here’s a wonderful quotation by Henry Beston that I’ve come across a few times while doing my elephant research:
“For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not our brethren, they are not our underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the Earth.”
Doesn’t this hotel look amazing? It’s located in Greece, and it’s called Cavo Tagoo. (Via the style files.)
Pepsi is soon to give away a bunch of money to ten non-profits, and Ampersand Families, a great organization that helps find permanent homes for teenagers in foster care is in the running. I used to work at Ampersand, and I can tell you that it’s a fantastic organization run by fantastic people. Please consider voting for them. It’s super-easy, and you can vote once per day.
Oh, gosh. I could totally live in this picture. I don’t know anything about it, though. I found the image here.
