Underhill. A Magical Little Hobbit House Down Under...

Underhill is a gorgeous, magical little tiny cave-like house, wait a minute, it is a cave.
But also a beautiful cosy rustic home to live in or a place to perchance visit for a while.
It's got no electricity and folk wishing to stay in this wonderful escape-hole are asked to leave their intrusive phones and computers behind.
So next time you're down under in New Zealand's Waikato area, check out this incredible little Hobbit House which is the realised dream of Graham Hannah who originally built it for him and his family. Now it's owned by his daughter who runs it as a boutique B&B.
You may want to stay forever...

They Have Escaped The World. They Each Live In Their Own World. In Nature's World...

They have escaped the world.
They have escaped to live in their own worlds.
They have escaped in order to find sanctuary in the world of Nature.
And who can blame them.
Danila Tkachenko uses documentary photography as his genre.
His 'Escape' project focuses on the individual and society. And his subjects do not live in conventional society. They have escaped.
Perhaps to be trapped in another.
Danila researches the experiences of hermits, recluses who live sometimes for decades alone with nature. These folk live or exist in some people's eyes, in makeshift dwellings, mostly in the forests of Russia and the Ukraine.
Does the individual freed from the social environment become closer to their true self Danila asks. What happens to a person's personality when their 'social mask' is gone?
The answers are not offered. And do not matter.
Many will not envy their lack of creature comforts but they might well envy their simple, peaceful and resourceful way of life.
