In the mouth of the Yangtze River off the eastern coast of China, a small island holds a secret haven lost to the forces of time and nature–an abandoned fishing village swallowed by dense layers of ivy slowly creeping over every brick and path. Houtou Wan Village is located on Gouqi Island, which belongs to a group of 394 islands known as the Shengsi Islands in the Zhoushan Archipelago. It’s o
The majority of people get a pet after long consideration, planning and a drive to the local shelter. Then they spend some time getting to know their four-legged companion and if things go well, the lucky pet becomes a member of the family.

We have compiled a list of peculiar-looking trees that appear to look like something else entirely. Turns out, while most maples and sweetgum look very similar, nature has sculpted some of them most likely just to prank our eyes. I
Amidst all of the seeming-chaos and unfortunate news in the world, it’s heartening to hear that a marine species is not only bouncing back but thriving. New research shows that humpback whales in the South Atlantic have rebounded from the brink of extinction. Due to intense pressure from the whaling industry in the early 1900s, populations of South Atlantic humpbacks diminished to just 450 wh
We are often bombarded with fear-mongering and shocking headlines that make us feel that the world is falling apart.

Because of that, I started The Happy Broadcast. It's an anti-venom to the vitriolic rhetoric that pervades our
Some believe that all people are creative on some level. Some people take that belief to a completely new level. Take Anthony Hoyte, for example – a recreational cyclist that loves what he does so much, he decided to dedicate a lot of time into it and bring it further by cycling for long hours just to create images on a fitness app called “Strava”. Of course, it would be too little to draw j
A tree-climbing scientist and his team have learned surprising new facts about giant sequoias by measuring them inch by inch. On a gentle slope above a trail junction in Sequoia National Park, about 7,000 feet above sea level in the southern Sierra Nevada, looms a very big tree. Its trunk is rusty red, thickened with deep layers of furrowed bark, and 27 feet in diameter at the base. Its footpri
