Valley</strong> in <strong>Pisco</strong>, surrounded by the Andes Mountains, 500km north of Santiago in central <span><strong>Chile</strong></span>, lies a magical place that allows for star-spangled dreams beneath the clear pure sky. Combining stargazing and specialized astronomic tours with night-time horseback riding, meditation and even tarot readings, Elqui Domos is a hotel quite like no other.</p> <p><strong>It was completed in 2005 to fulfil its owners’ desire to observe and enjoy the grandeur of the one of the world’s most star-filled skies</strong>. It is<strong> one of only seven astronomic hotels around the world and the only one in the Southern Hemisphere</strong>, offering breathtaking views of the magic skies draped over the Elqui Valley (the valley is renowned for its sharp, clear skies, as it happens to sit under one of the clearest atmospheres in the world). The lack of rain and pleasant weather all year round set the perfect conditions for astronomic tourism, where guests can gather to enjoy a unique chance to liaise with the stars.</p> </blockquote> <p>(via <a href="http://www.yatzer.com">Yatzer</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://thegreatstate.tumblr.com/post/50767013208http://thegreatstate.tumblr.com/post/50767013208Sat, 18 May 2013 13:23:39 -1000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8337ee32854bd66a6b12e074ce302c92/tumblr_mkxy2kAmAR1s5rsdao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://funfrom4chan.tumblr.com/post/47458003364/this-would-be-a-legit-reason-to-crash-your-car">funfrom4chan</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>This would be a legit reason to crash your car</p> </blockquote>http://thegreatstate.tumblr.com/post/50766993995http://thegreatstate.tumblr.com/post/50766993995Sat, 18 May 2013 13:23:22 -1000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ccd9a0c45723b6640450312c0ab85c08/tumblr_mmhmbkoork1s8bvrho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://mythologyofblue.tumblr.com/post/50676015466/john-thomson-the-ming-tombs-in-nanjing">mythologyofblue</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span>John Thomson: The Ming Tombs in Nanjing, 1869-71. </span><span>From </span><span>“Illustrations of China and its People”, 1873-1874.
