This is Dan Price's tiny underground home in Joseph, Oregon,
USA. The interior, slightly more egg shaped than round, is only
8ft (2.4m) wall to wall with a roof only 4ft (1.2m) high at the entrance rising
to 5ft (1.5m) at the back of the tiny shelter. The room where Dan
hatches his ideas for his publications under the title,
The
Moonlight Chronicles, is sheltered by 2ft of earth that slopes into
the woodland where deer roam as free as his creativity. |

Dan's inspiration for his home goes all the way back to his
childhood when he read a story called, My SIDE of the MOUNTAIN
(left), which tells the story of a boy who sets up house in a huge
hollowed-out tree, with a falcon and a weasel for companions and
his wits, his tool for survival. Dan is doing rather better than
just surviving. On his small plot of land, where he has been
living for some three decades, he has a compost toilet, a sweat
lodge, an underground art studio (8x20 ft) and his tiny
underground 'hobbit' house. |
