A Canadian couple have ditched busy city life to live on a colorful off-the-grid float-home and garden they've dubbed 'Freedom Cove'.
Wayne Adams and Catherine King created a completely self-sustainable float home consisting of 12 platforms that houses wooden structures, green houses and living spaces all interconnected through a wooden pathway.
The magenta and turquoise floating structure, off the coast of Tofino, British Columbia, was built in 1992, and the couple, who have two children, live in the home year round
During winter months, the couple collect rainwater for drinking and in the summer they collect drinking water from a nearby freshwater waterfall across the bay, according to Collective Evolution.
They have several greenhouses in which the family grows fruit and vegetables year round. Electricity is supplied to the home through solar panels and photovoltaic energy generators.
The home also has a lighthouse, a myriad of pots filled with plans and flowers, and a collection of art made by its artistic owners, according to Tofino Time.
A hen house also used to reside on the structure, but the couple decided to give up on livestock when they realized how many predators had easy access to the hens.
The couple told Tofino Time that the floating home they've lived in for more than 20 years has been an on-going and ever-changing project since it's beginning.

Unbelievable!
Hi krishna, thanks for sharing, very cool.
I hope you have come to realize krishna, for most people, it is all they know, the societies, they think it is normal.
That is how i see them and try to treat them, as ignorant folk, not aware of the harmful ways they have been taught to live.
When people have grown up not knowing what it is to be truly free, they tend to mistake enslavement for freedom.
peace love light and compassion and wisdom to all ignorant people.
cool ... Lovely Jubbly ...great to live off the grid and away from humans.
They state that they live away from CIVILIZATION...WHAT CIVILIZATION???...what they should state is that they live away from UNCIVILISED HUMANS
