We spent a week here off the grid. It was charming and remote.

A toned b&w long exposure taken just after sunset at the Lairds Lunch Hut in the Upper Cabrach Moray.
This old abandoned ranch house did have some conveniences in its day. The water pump on the left and near the back still has a nice coat of paint on it, and so does the ringer washer on the front porch. The papasan chairs hanging on the front wall would make for a comfy place to sit on the porch on a long hot summer evening. I'm not sure about the picture with the three cowboys in it, though, maybe it's a family portrait.

The Yellowknife Houseboat Community is located on Great Slave Lake, off the shores of Yellowknife. It is home year round to several families. They access their homes during the summer by boat and during the winter they access by driving a car or snowmobile across the frozen lake. During the autumn freezing and spring thaw of the lake, transportation becomes difficult as the ice can not support the weight of a car and can not be passed by boat. Photo was taken in late June 2021 under the midnight sun at 12:30 in the morning. The date stamp on my camera is still not set.
This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Off Grid. Food, water, shelter and solar power are all here. HMMM!
My house. It has been a long winter, getting the roof on and snow out. I'm worn out and tired but happy at where this project is at this time.
I hang a light on the shore where my camp is located, this way I can go fishing in the evening and still find my way to camp.
Overlanding can be challenging at times especially when you’re pressed to find a campsite and you run into gates or roads that are no longer driveable. This was lucky number 3. Paradise. Quiet, secluded and devoid of human life except for us. For me, this was a blissful 4 days of respite from the human population before moving on.

- Title? I´ll get back to the topic. Was it in Stralsund? I could be way off. I can not put them pieces together at this moment. It is off something, somewhere, as so many times before.
For me, personally, its the bricks that gets my attention. There are bricks in the family. My father haved painted them in on his paintings and one ancestor had a brick factory. We have a family brick with his initials engraved in it (like on all of his stones!). But I mean they are just pretty, and who does not like pretty things?
Coming soon at The Liaison Collaborative's April round.
The theme this time is "Rain in the City".
We made original mesh windpump along with a water tower. Let's live sustainably!
The windpump includes sound + movement function for the rotor blades (click to turn on/off).

One of the first to be released to traffic of what will eventually be sixteen members of GBRf's class 69 conversions, unit 69002 'Bob Tiller CM&EE'; stands at Tonbridge West Yard awaiting its next turn of duty.
Converted by Progress Rail at their Longport facility in Staffordshire, each locomotive is a substantial rebuild from a class 56 unit (aka 'Grid') released to traffic in the period 1976-1984.
The story behind the conversions is that GBRf, the owners, were looking for more locomotives offering similar performance to the class 66s which, since 2010, could no longer be purchased as they were deemed non-compliant with National Technical Specification Notices. As a consequence it was determined that converting an existing locomotive would prove to be more cost effective than designing and buying something completely new. The 69s include many similar control systems, as well as the same power plant, as that used in the class 66s.
In the case of 69002, the rebuild was from 'Grid' 56311 which was released to traffic in 1979 as unit 56057 fresh out of Doncaster Works.
Rather than take this shot over the footbridge rail, I opted to take it through the grid mesh as a spin on the narrative. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but........

I wanted to share this unique and interesting place with you. : )
Just northwest of Taos, there a development of sustainable homes, called Earthships and it may look like something from a sci-fi movie, but it's self-sufficient housing, built with natural and recycled materials, with energy conservation in mind - designed to produce water, electricity, and food for its own use.
There is a 2nd shot in the first comment.

Who said busy family life stops photography... nipped out of the house for 30 mins earlier to catch the setting sun in the Lower Cabrach
Maria Dogaru (b.1928) lives completely off grid and alone in the forested mountains of Vrancea county. The valley where she lives is also home to wolves and bears.

There are no lights at the cabin except for the one hanging above the table, and you have to bring your own gas canister for it. We brought our own lights, which are inflatable, rechargeable, battery driven lights.

Thanks so much for all the support! I really do appreciate it! 😊
I can't tell you the feeling I had that morning. The cool wind rushing through the Earthship as soon as the door opened. The smells of the desert, sage and earth, raven flying overhead, calling to him, Sun blinding my bedroom eyes...pure joy
The woodshed was well stocked during our visit. A sled comes in handy in winter.
