Ft Shirley

This is Fort Shirley, aka the Jungle Book's inspiration. This is an old Brittish fort that was abondoned and literally reclaimed by the forest. It's located on the peninsula across the bay from the university. It's about a 25 min walk from our house.


Cathy would like you to appreciate the amazing architecture of this old comandant's mansion. We have renamed it Castle Hermit Crabina as you can't step inside this place without squishing a cute little hermit crab.


This is the old barracks of the fort. These trees are literally growing out of the old stone walls and completely encompassing them with vines. I'm not quite light enough yet to swing on them, give me some time...


This is a hollowed out tree... amazing.
