Photo taken this afternoon. On the final countdown of a fundraising campaign on IndieGoGo! Almost at $25,000. Join the crowd of supporters to help make energy access happen for communities across Kenya.

An interesting book storage solution. The library staircase, designed by London-based Levitate Architects. Found on the lovely Book Shelf Porn website, and blogged about here. I’m starting to gather pictures of inspiring housing designs, with the idea of renovating or building a house someday. 

This is pretty cool. Dolphins have been observed hitching rides on the back of humpback whales in Hawaii, and sliding down their backs, for what seems to be, fun! Playful activity between species like this is something of rarity, which makes this story pretty special.

The video is from the American Museum of Natural History, and this behaviour was documented in the journal Aquatic Mammals by Deakos et al. (2010). Animal Wise has a review of the paper here.

The moon has been so bright over the last few days from the hills of Kiboswa. And with that, I’m enjoying this poem called Moon, written and performed by Rich Watkins, with backing moonfull music from The Mountaineering Club. Find more of Rich’s creative adventures here. 

An afternoon spent under the canope of the beautiful Kakamega Forest, where we walked down to the Yala River from the Rondo Retreat and back. This is one of my favourite places to go nearby. The variety of butterflies is extraordinary, and it’s fun to watch the red-tailed monkeys playfully jump through the trees overhead. 

Today I was learning to ride a motorbike with Leonard, a local Piki-Piki driver.
