The end but also the beginning

The world is full of people who rant and yell.

People who kill and destroy.

Teens that fall in love but don’t know what love is

Children who fall and break their arm or leg

Babies who cry while their mothers sleep.

But not one single person to understand a lost mind in need. Not one single person who can help someone in despair. Where is the person just for me?

elspethjane: The gardens were planted in 1861 by Julien De Cerval. De Cerval was an intense gardener who gave the last thirty years of his life to build Marqueyssac. “It is almost exclusively made up of clipped box but near the chateâu this is clipped into elaborate swirling designs and includes paths of clipped rosemary and santolina. There is then a much wilder walk in woodland and clipped box which meanders 130 metres above the river giving fabulous views. There is an area with swings and a picnic area and during the summer on certain days children older than 6 can learn rock climbing. During the summer each Thursday evening the gardens are lit by candlelight and various musicians play in different parts of the garden. A magical experience not to be missed. The Gardens at Marqueyssac are one of the few Dordogne attractions to remain open all year round.” (via Sarah Klassen/Haute Design: Garden: of Marqueyssac)

fastcompany: For more than a decade, the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority has treated the Atlantic as its very own graveyard, tossing thousands of old subway cars off a barge to rust away on the ocean floor. An environmental crime? Hardly. The program creates habitats for marine life from Georgia to Jersey and gives New York’s aging subway cars a vibrant (and free!) retirement home. Now, New York photographer Stephen Mallon has captured the MTA’s artificial reef program in a gobstopping collection of stills that look like what you’d get if you combined an Ed Burtynsky series with the freeze frames of The Matrix and the train porn of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (without the agro hostage situation). We’ve got lots of details on the program and a selection of Mallon’s photographs above. Check out the full slideshow over at Co. Design.
