Naomi and I rented a small tiny home/cabin through Air BNB for a little weekend getaway to hit the restart button. We took her polaroid camera as well but I didn't scan any of those in.

Prime Lenses for the interior, the Blackwater falls photo I believe I snapped with my new 24-70.
Beautiful anniversary weekend with my girl.

I designed and made these temporary stairs, they are inspired by the hórreos - the grain stores in the region, for the Almacen, Riocaliente, Asturias

A beautiful little building, inspired by the Earthships of Phoenix, a concept by the architect Mike Reynolds... I heard him speak at the University of Stirling, and subsequently at a Scottish Parliament committee... From those early meetings, this little baby Earthship was born - a demonstration model, shall we say, and one that I'd been meaning to visit for years!
The idea is that the building is completely off-grid, and self-sustaining. The roof catches water which is filtered for drinking. Waste from showers and taps is then used for toilets, and this waste is subsequently used to grow plants... The building is built into a south-ish-facing slope, with walls made of rammed-earth tires which act as an effective heat-sink. As an antithesis to high-insulation buildings with a high embodied-energy and thus carbon footprint, the Earthship minimises the footprint even further - the glazing is virtually the only material that need come in from off-site. The result is actually rather beautiful.
Find out more about Earthships at www.earthship.net/ and about this one in particular at www.sci-scotland.org.uk/index.shtml - I'd recommend visiting!
Here's the 1,000 gallon water tank I bought from Paris Farmers Union in front of the two tipis and the 4 wheeler.

The Renewable Energy Home Handbook is biased towards the practical, and covers the installation of all leading types of alternative domestic energy sources – from ground- and air-source heat pumps, PV solar electricity generation and solar water heating, to bio-mass domestic heating systems and wind turbines. Discussing the pros and cons of each technology, it also provides you with a clear overview of what’s genuinely required and the benefits to be gained from each system.
The author, Lindsay Porter, is best known for his books on motor vehicle technology, making car mechanics and body repairs easy to understand and carry out. But alternative energy and conservation have long been a passion for him and his wife, Shan, so this manual is very much a labour of love. Here, Lindsay applies his commitment to making difficult subjects easy for everyone to understand to the money-saving – planet-saving – systems we can apply to our homes.

We're off grid and I remember fitting our lights into the house and feeling so excited. Over the years we've increased our solar panel array and we've two computers !
Whoever thought it would come to this ?
