Eiler lives in a mobile home a half-block from the only business left in Monowi, a dark, wood-paneled tavern, thick with smoke  which Eiler runs. She also runs the town library, a tiny building jammed with 5,000 books left behind by her late husband who was a devoted reader. Elise is also the mayor of Monowi.<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjtnIzrDN9M4Z8f3lLCCpAK7lJBdyoG-wGs48Rkk3ShUTSul_dRxH1DHXpNoMocrEQx4zV1cc3VTB34WEZaYSTmD-9Zu-zkrfvOCPjP8dmLRiunBVLHnBchQblpRHMidPVpiMpTkvW-YM/s1600/monowi2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjtnIzrDN9M4Z8f3lLCCpAK7lJBdyoG-wGs48Rkk3ShUTSul_dRxH1DHXpNoMocrEQx4zV1cc3VTB34WEZaYSTmD-9Zu-zkrfvOCPjP8dmLRiunBVLHnBchQblpRHMidPVpiMpTkvW-YM/s1600/monowi2.jpg" width="434" /></a></div><span style="font-size: x-small;">Elsie Eiler poses with the town population sign outside of the village of Monowi, Nebraska (Rick Wilking / Reuters)</span><br /><br />Monowi's peak years were in the 1930s, when it had a population of 130. Monowi, like many other small communities in the Great Plains, lost its younger residents to cities that were experiencing growth and offering better jobs. During the 2000 census, the village had a total population of 2 -  only one married couple, Rudy and Elsie Eiler. Mr. Eiler died in 2004, leaving his wife Elsie Eiler as the only remaining resident.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/t0kkT7sIkPU?rel=0" width="640"></iframe><br /><br />Eiler's life as its mayor and sole resident is surreal. Once a year she raises taxes from herself to keep the four street lights on and a few other basic amenities going. She runs the town's only business, the Monowi Tavern, and lives in the only remaining habitable building. She grants her own liquor licence and elects herself mayor. Her customers come off the highway that runs through Monowi or from nearby towns.<br /><br />This town is an extreme example of what has happened across America's heartland. The depopulation of the countryside over the last 50 years has been called the largest migration in American history. Nowhere is that more starkly illustrated than on the Great Plains, which includes Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0CQfdslu8PmVXU4IPRkByQyc5xOSRw916lVN4X2DOr2yRVMZGQ3_Od78v645-_EF0KmZ97OiSf9B9dvV6jPqLLK-JaXpNxUzTV5zYVIVXCDzjrrzw05I64n6pfWvHhh-L47sJPoqixkI/s1600/monowi3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="420" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0CQfdslu8PmVXU4IPRkByQyc5xOSRw916lVN4X2DOr2yRVMZGQ3_Od78v645-_EF0KmZ97OiSf9B9dvV6jPqLLK-JaXpNxUzTV5zYVIVXCDzjrrzw05I64n6pfWvHhh-L47sJPoqixkI/s1600/monowi3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">A 1908 photo of the town of Monowi.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipmedlTrOutsMeHPgZD8u0U4v3f_wtw5I6zfxEYVdpicg9kTBv_djIZwSe9gWcK-jmoJCgKsu78iYgA4K60KyqL9yzAWn-VO3Mcmwo6hbPOSOatVMOuD_7m8GkSzbjaVwJFiEUqyoIeoU/s1600/monowi4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipmedlTrOutsMeHPgZD8u0U4v3f_wtw5I6zfxEYVdpicg9kTBv_djIZwSe9gWcK-jmoJCgKsu78iYgA4K60KyqL9yzAWn-VO3Mcmwo6hbPOSOatVMOuD_7m8GkSzbjaVwJFiEUqyoIeoU/s1600/monowi4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Monowi Tavern (Image courtesy: Flickr user Overduebook)</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWCGCfNLUgN0CnBgzw63ABrxSHm-PKGok6Mf8MKNm786YKsPz78f2CA4PboHTemp5PfPQtAW233bkyZjqSuQS0UwY6v9kwgDuwq-lxlJj6nVZyVPpqL2nmNS1hc56bXTLN3ZIXgFTHJ5Q/s1600/monowi5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWCGCfNLUgN0CnBgzw63ABrxSHm-PKGok6Mf8MKNm786YKsPz78f2CA4PboHTemp5PfPQtAW233bkyZjqSuQS0UwY6v9kwgDuwq-lxlJj6nVZyVPpqL2nmNS1hc56bXTLN3ZIXgFTHJ5Q/s1600/monowi5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Abandoned Louisa Street in Monowi is seen completely grown over with vegetation (Rick Wilking / Reuters)</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGIyzF48rS6XnyUXDWOtkmiTilYNsz36ewATJjHlMny2i86CKJb5UvAdKYvijHEG7UaqfzSB6XBDWIJEiwotwDYzn7TJVNvM5wKbtxa7Hk__avCt2aDDD9EeAmNwZAGhuQUB_mS_OjH0Y/s1600/monowi6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGIyzF48rS6XnyUXDWOtkmiTilYNsz36ewATJjHlMny2i86CKJb5UvAdKYvijHEG7UaqfzSB6XBDWIJEiwotwDYzn7TJVNvM5wKbtxa7Hk__avCt2aDDD9EeAmNwZAGhuQUB_mS_OjH0Y/s1600/monowi6.jpg" width="444" /></a></div><br />An abandoned building that was once a general store leans into trees as it slowly decays in Monowi.

Green Magic Treehouse, Vythiri, Kerala, India

Deep in the remote Wayanad jungle, in the Indian state of Kerala, travellers interested in getting a bird's eye view on their surroundings might want to try one of these treehouse out for size. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9TqYTlI-L9IO5bEeH-v15VZvYsmpjW_C22b59m29LtcmaN-Dxjtk5E7BRaRTW7nm-Bl-6PNhzCZZ2mD-8AZuKCfajW1Un6qnMvIYLEV0NSsV6tBAUXpux4W8gK2UY7iUbzDEEMUvZXXA/s1600/treehouse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9TqYTlI-L9IO5bEeH-v15VZvYsmpjW_C22b59m29LtcmaN-Dxjtk5E7BRaRTW7nm-Bl-6PNhzCZZ2mD-8AZuKCfajW1Un6qnMvIYLEV0NSsV6tBAUXpux4W8gK2UY7iUbzDEEMUvZXXA/s1600/treehouse.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br />Found at Vythiri, the Green Magic Treehouse is by all accounts a peaceful and serene rainforest location in which to bed down for the night – but it's probably not for the fainthearted, as the structures sway atop stilt supports among the treetops, some 85 feet above the undergrowth below!<br /><br /><iframe frameborder="0" height="480" src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d2264.9452916344653!2d76.039705!3d11.55621!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x3ba672878384f673%3A0xe54cad77a7d27bd0!2sVythiri+VIllage!5e1!3m2!1shr!2sba!4v1410696285068" style="border: 0;" width="640"></iframe><br /><br />Fully-fitted and with verandas to boot, the treehouses were built among giant ficus trees – thin but apparently sturdy – with eco-friendly materials like bamboo plus the ancient building techniques employed by local tribespeople. Access to the rooms is by an intimidating wicker cage hauled up to the canopy using a pulley system. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho7jaL3a88Og8XUd2xF8xPX7kBsHjSrW7P07M-dd-ASDt3HDQWfZWCevB4nyzI1EoDdwChsOtHWBypO2kR4L3_BKaAfPCm8084nilhIO8gNs6Bp8-LwObbyliTn-0ci_I4uTy47vu_6YA/s1600/treehouse_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><a name='more'></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho7jaL3a88Og8XUd2xF8xPX7kBsHjSrW7P07M-dd-ASDt3HDQWfZWCevB4nyzI1EoDdwChsOtHWBypO2kR4L3_BKaAfPCm8084nilhIO8gNs6Bp8-LwObbyliTn-0ci_I4uTy47vu_6YA/s1600/treehouse_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho7jaL3a88Og8XUd2xF8xPX7kBsHjSrW7P07M-dd-ASDt3HDQWfZWCevB4nyzI1EoDdwChsOtHWBypO2kR4L3_BKaAfPCm8084nilhIO8gNs6Bp8-LwObbyliTn-0ci_I4uTy47vu_6YA/s1600/treehouse_2.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />This, coupled with an undulating rope suspension bridge up top means that no amount of repose here will alleviate a serious fear of heights.

The Biggest Tree House Ever Made

This has to be every children’s dream; a gigantic tree house. The self-taught carpenter and landscape architect Horace Burgess built this great tree house in Crossville TN after God told him to do so, as he claims himself. <br /><br /><iframe frameborder="0" height="480" src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d2139.6762810506584!2d-84.994441!3d35.985334!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x886759d87f2c66af%3A0xc965d4ead2a22f86!2sThe+Minister's+Tree+House!5e1!3m2!1shr!2shr!4v1411204213421" style="border: 0;" width="640"></iframe><br /><br />He started building in 1993 and hasn’t finished yet.

Wisteria vines climb by twining their stems either clockwise or counterclockwise round any available support. They can climb as high as 20 m (65.6 ft) above the ground and spread out 10 m (32.8 ft) laterally. The world’s largest known Wisteria vine is in Sierra Madre, California, measuring more than 1 acre (0.40 ha) in size and weighing 250 tons, planted in 1894 of the Chinese lavender variety.<br /><br />The leaves are alternate, 15 to 35 cm long, pinnate, with 9 to 19 leaflets. The flowers are produced in pendulous racemes 10 to 80 cm long and are purple, violet, pink or white. Flowering is in the spring (just before or as the leaves open) in some Asian species, and in mid to late summer in the American species and W. japonica. The flowers of some species are fragrant, most notably Chinese Wisteria.
