bombe di argilla ripiene di semi e compost: dopo il lancio, l’argilla si scioglie e si combina col compost per fertilizzare il terreno.

[Image: “This is what happens just a few day’s after dropping a seedbomb. The rain melted the clay and the compost, feeding the soil surrounding the bomb allowing for other plant growth.” Image and text from Guerilla Gardener’s Blog].

Just pack your seeds in a matrix of red clay, hurl your balls over a fence somewhere, and watch new worlds on the other side grow.

Desire Line significa percorso appetitivo, cioè il cammino segnato spontaneamente dagli animali che scelgono la propria via, sovente la più corta o la più facile.

Photographer: Frederic Gadmer, Alasehir, Turkey 8 January 1923.

“In the city of Alasehir, which in antiquity was known as Philadelphia, Greek forces were accused of creating a firestorm that destroyed 70 percent of its buildings. Many perished in the course of the outrage, while desperate survivors sought shelter wherever they could find it—even, as here, in a hollow tree-truck.”
