This hotel looks like something Tolkien would have dreamed up

It isn't really hard to fall in love with the Magic Mountain Lodge – a volcano-shaped hotel hidden away in the center of a private nature reserve in Chile.

The guest house is designed using local building materials and labor and all the wood was carefully harvested locally as well. It is accessible only by foot and welcomes visitors with a suspended rope bridge, complete with water coming down from the top of the lodge. Several activities like horseback riding, hiking, ski tours in the winter, and white water rafting are offered to guests to keep them busy during their stay.

Visitors can also access the longest zip wire in South America, which run through the grounds at a height of 1,500ft. There's also a bar, a restaurant, and hot tubs made out of ancient, hollowed out tree trunks overlooking the forest.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Bats, Cats, and Dancing Skeletons

It’s now been fifty-eight years since Walt Disney died of lung cancer, and as a great way to remember his legacy is watch this short film he did in 1929. It’s truly impressive, and you can still see the impact he made on animation today.

This may interest someone.

Brandon Semenuk is a Canadian freeride mountain biker and rally racer who does crazy tricks that make me anxious. In the Know , his latest video partnership with SRAM, is a knockout. The clip is filled with wild riding, magnificent terrain, cool music, and breathtaking shots.
