I had taken my glasses off since it was misty outside and I didn't like the lenses getting wet. They slipped out of my rain jacket pocket and through the slats of this hay cart. The guides were phenomenal with helping me find the glasses during our return trip--and ensuring that the hay cart didn't crush them! This seems borderline impossible in such a huge expanse of black sand, but somehow they accomplished it!
Ingólfshöfði is a nature reserve that's home to thousands of nesting sea-birds, like puffins and great skuas. This tour was taken with the group Local Guide, which hauls people across a massive black sand beach in a hay cart to reach the headland and cliffs where the birds live.

The Himalayan Gardens at Minterne House, Minterne Magna in the Cerne Valley, Dorset. .
20 acres of wild woodland gardens, noted for the historic collection of Rhododendrons, Azaleas & Magnolias.
Between 1850 and 1947, Victorian plant hunters voyaged across the world, sponsored by amateur garden enthusiasts and brought countless new exotic species to English gardens; the seeds were shared around the sponsors who propagated this as a basis for exotic subtropical shrub gardens. Minterne Gardens were at the forefront of planting these newly introduced species.

Cheltenham Wetlands Park was once part of the U.S. Naval Radio Station, Cheltenham, Maryland. It was commissioned in 1939.
“The original antenna fields, comprising creosoted wood telephone poles and metal antenna towers, were located in the acreage surrounding the buildings. All metal antenna poles have been removed from the installation. Some abandoned creosoted wood poles remain in the wooded and swampy sections of the installation.
Established as a radio receiving station before World War II, the installation's mission evolved to administration during the Cold War era.”
