hiking trails on the west coast: Begin climbing on a soft earthen trail through beautiful douglas fir-western hemlock forest for 2.5 miles along a series of switchbacks, then break from the tree cover for 1 mile of straight even trail through a stunning wildflower meadow just below the ridgeline, after which the trail makes a sharp right and continues to the summit with a further 2 miles of switchbacks. Enjoy beautiful views of the nearest dormant stratovolcano and also at least two waterfalls and a crystal-clear alpine lake along the way. Round trip: 11 miles, 3,000ft elevation gain. Difficulty: moderate :)

hiking trails on the east coast: Go 1.5 miles up. Yes, straight up. Switchbacks? What are you, a baby? Are you a little child? Fuck you. Go up. [Seasonal note: first half of trail is a running stream during mud season and a multipitch ice climbing route during winter.] Round trip: 3 miles, 1,200ft elevation gain. Difficulty: jesus christ

Whereabouts do you live, roughly speaking, and what drew you to that place in particular?

I'm in Michigan, and that's as specifically as I will answer that question! We have really lethal lakes.

Teak wood and stony creek granite unify this dining place and its companion kitchen... The cabinetry and table, with its half-moon headboard, soften the sharp corners of the walls, windows, and skylight. The mosaic floor of the kitchen proper extends only to the table, announcing subtly that the eating area is as much out of the kitchen as it is a part of it.

What are orbicules? This piece of granite comes from the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia, an ancient piece of continental crust that began forming about 2.7 billion years ago. It’s one of the oldest enduring landmasses on Earth. Orbicules are the unusual ball-shaped, radial clusters of crystals that you can see on this rock. The diversity in the orbicules’ mineral composition and structure indicate that the conditions in the magma changed as they grew. See this specimen and more than 5,000 others in the Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals. We're open daily from 10 am–5:30 pm! Plan your visit.

5000 years ago, the Neolithic people of Dartmoor, UK cut and placed this 27 feet high standing stone of granite where The Oxenham Arms pub is now located.

The pub was built around it about 800 years ago, the stone goes all the way down into the foundations in the cellar.

In a room where television watching is the main event, the television and its surrounding cabinetry can be designed as a sculptural statement, as in this contemporary home.
