Living on Waterworld: Floating & Future-Ready Eco-Home. Some say this project reflects a pessimistic vision of our future on Earth, others say it is a realistic response to a planet in peril – but most people will be hard-pressed to deny that this is a sensational undertaking in sustainable design regardless of global perspectives – particularly given that it is going on right in the heart of New York City.

Living on Waterworld: Floating & Future-Ready Eco-Home

Part houseboat and part private floating island, the so-called WaterPod sits somewhere between visionary green architecture and installation art project. Constructed of recycled wood, metal, plastic and cloth and designed to run on solar, wave and wind power, it is intended to become the ultimate off-the-grid, self-sufficient water-based housing unit. So wait, is it a concept or reality? A bit of both: the real-life plan includes a working prototype that will travel around New York City but remain independent, growing its own food and recycling and filtering water from the notoriously dirty Hudson River.

The Bird in the Waterfall: Freak Waves and Rogues. Aves generate much sound and fury, impressing us greatly, so we can probably be forgiven for exaggerating their size.

The Bird in the Waterfall: Freak Waves and Rogues

I once spent a miserable day tossed around in a small cod boat off the southern coast of Iceland by waves I was certain were at least twelve feet high. They came at us like they were attacking, rising out of the choppy chaos of smaller waves until they crested above the height of the cabin roof and seemed about to come down like giant fists. It was humbling and a little disappointing to learn later from the weather service that the waves had been mere six-footers. I've taken some comfort since watching anglers on Lake Michigan motor into harbors for protection from waves measuring barely three feet from trough to crest. Even in the open ocean the immense waves of popular imagination are rarely encountered. Such figures were once discounted as the result of fancy and fear by oceanographers convinced that no wave could surpass 60 feet in height without collapsing.
