“ Here, Norphel is using what is abundant — stone — to conserve what is precious — water. The idea is simple: Divert the unneeded autumn and winter runoff into a series of large, rock-lined holding ponds. As the days grow colder, the ponds freeze and interconnect into a growing glacier. He has built 10 glaciers across the region. His largest stretched more than a mile before an unusual week of rain wiped it out in 2006. ” - Indians decide to make their own glaciers (via kottke.org)

Vernazza, Italy. July 5, 2009.

Three months ago this is what Sarah and I woke up to. We would spend that day hiking between the towns of the Cinque Terra and creating one of our fondest memories of our trip through Europe. Thinking back on this makes it hard to get motivated to do much here at work. That being said, you never do know how your going to look back on today three months or three years from now.
