A treewalk built into a small grove of redwoods near Rotorua, NZ. . . so if you’re sick of the Lord of the Rings franchise, you can come here and pretend to be an ewok.

This theme-park cabana with its sad orange tarp and chicken-wire fence, is obviously sub-par. . . but it’s not all bad. There’s a T-Rex in the background.

The fenced-in sky of the Omaha Zoo aviary.  I didn’t see many birds. Either the zoo is restocking or the birds found an escape tunnel.

Elevated wooden walkways are perfect for “nature.” They separate the humans, lifting them above the muck so they don’t get their shoes dirty.

I love theme-park cabanas. This one has everything I like: a thatched conical roof, hexagon floor plan, log beams tied together with thick rope, a wooden platform and no walls.

BONUS: the foundation is a concrete boulder embedded with fake tree roots
