A quiet little waterfall and some cascading pools, nestled betwixt cozy trees and ivy in this gorge. You're looking at Havasu Creek in the Havasupai Reservation, a mile or so downstream of Mooney Falls. There are so many of these little spots where people quickly trudge on by in a hurry to Beaver Falls. You could have the whole place to yourself for the day, take a dip read a book and have some nice lunch in serenity.

The garage was unlocked so we looked inside. Not much in there except a few boards and some paint.

I bought some sheets of John's wonderful handmade papers in Erkner but didn't dare use one so far. I have three or four sheets of this one, because it's very thin, translucent and the visible folding lines give it a very special look (which many do not like, but I do). Folding was pure pleasure, easy and accurate; I folded more slowly than usually to savour the wonderful paper (nonetheless managed to prefold the offgrid folds wrongly, a bit visible in the middle).
The final model is ethereous, especially when backlit.

Our two chamber compost toilet works well even in this tropical humid setup. Only update need was remodeling of the toilet seat from wood to cement after the termites started eating they way through the wood...
While roaming the back roads of Ontario, I discovered this unique off-grid home. It was in my opinion, something deserving of a photograph.
Elizabeth Mukwimba is a 62-year-old Tanzanian woman who now has solar lighting and electricity in her home at the flick of a switch, thanks to a scheme backed by UK aid.
Elizabeth has had an M-Power solar panel and lights fitted in her home by Off Grid Electric, a private sector company dedicated to providing sustainable, affordable energy to people in developing countries who aren't connected to the electricity grid.
It means that Elizabeth now has lighting at home at night, which means she doesn't have to buy expensive kerosene. The money she's saved already has helped her put a new tin roof on her house. It also means her grandchildren can read and do their homework in the evening.
UK aid, working with the Dutch NGO SNV, is providing support to help Off Grid Electric expand its business to reach more and more people who live in remote, rural areas, through two international partnership programmes - Energising Development (EnDev), and the Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund Renewable Energy and Adaptation to Climate Technologies (AECF REACT).
The UK's support to EnDev is a 'results based financing' facility - this provides a financial incentive for companies like Off Grid - meaning they only get access to finance if they meet a given target (increasing the number of people who have access to clean energy) over a fixed period of time. This acts to boost the market returns for private sector companies providing services to poorer consumers, thereby attracting investment and enabling continued market expansion after the project (and financial incentive) ends.
In less than 2 years, Off Grid Electric has installed solar power systems in over 22,000 homes across Tanzania, meaning many more people now have access to cheap, renewable electricity - a vital step forward in a country where less than 14% of the population are connected to the electricity grid.

I love old farmhouse kitchens and I was scared that when we built our house that the kitchen wouldn't have any charm. Using stone and pieces of wood we found here and there and some very new wood we cut from our woods, we had the start of a room that felt "lived in" as we were building it.
I added the old wooden tables which I've had since I was a student in Glasgow, a few chairs that have been given to me over the years, a woodstove we bought second-hand and a few bits that have followed me around for years and the new house feels like home.

A row of huts built by "hutters" just outside Ulverston in Cumbria. I don't know how widespread this is through the UK - it wasn't something I had come across all that much until moving to Cumbria! They are small off-grid cabins that are built for day trips and getting away from it all from what I can tell!
These ones look out over Morecambe Bay from Baycliff.
Savings cooperatives like this one in Bariadi, Tanzania are helping many people to access solar technology who might not otherwise be able to afford it.
The cooperative is working in partnership with solar company Ensol. Ensol provides solar lighting kits to the co-op at a discounted price. The co-op then sells the kits to its members and earns a commission on each one it sells - which is reinvested in the co-op for them to buy more solar kits.
For a small deposit, local people can join the cooperative, and then save whatever they can. Being a member means that they can borrow credit against the cooperative at microloan rates. If they can afford it, members can buy a solar lighting kit outright. But if they can't afford to pay the whole cost up-front, they can pay a percentage and then pay off the balance in small monthly instalments.
The scheme is one of a number of ways that the UK-supported EnDev (Energising Development) programme in Tanzania is helping to encourage and provide solar energy to many of the >35 million people in the country who aren't connected to the electricity grid. The EnDev programme is an international partnership in Tanzania which is being implemented by the Dutch NGO SNV.

Previously this space was a large dinette.
New trailer desk is installed. It's nice having windows on three sides for panoramic views when I'm camping. Ikea LINMON table top, 2 OLOV adjustable legs, and then two angle braces to attach it to the wall on one side.
Also, I added a corner cabinet to store things in. For this cabinet, I reused the old door fronts from the cabinets that were part of the dinette. I then built the rest of the cabinet.
Finally, I got a small folding table and folding chair for when I have guests or need more workspace.
