CBS This Morning ran a story yesterday on the therapeutic benefits of being outdoors, highlighting nature’s ability to enhance creativity and instill calm.

Reporter Chip Reid interviewed a big proponent of unplugging and getting outside, Zach Klein, Vimeo co-founder and CEO of DIY.org, an online community for kids,  The two talked while wandering his Upstate NY retreat, 55 acres of wild sprinkled with handmade bridges, tree houses, and cabins.

To capture spaces and locales he liked, Klein started a Tumblr blog featuring evocative images of houses in uncluttered landscapes.

The blog led to his new illustrated book Cabin Porn: Inspiration For Your Quiet Place Somewhere (Hachette /Little, Brown; OverDrive Sample). The collection of over 200 images is rising on Amazon and has already broken into its Top 100.

Klein has also been featured in The New York Times.
