Construction of Rillway Cabin began in 1918 and took about three years to complete. The name “Rillway” is a portmanteau of the names of Nellie Averill and her son-in-law Floyd Holloway, who bought the cabin around 1924. The cabin is located next to Highway 12, about 50 miles south of Helena, Montana and offers easy access year round. Inside, it has three bunk beds, an extra large kitchen table, plenty of counter space and a wood stove for heat. It also has a fireplace insert. Firewood is provided by the Townsend Ranger District. There is no electricity, appliances, lights or plumbing and a few of the windows have been broken and covered with plywood. The rental fee is $45 a night.

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.

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.
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.

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...
I shot this at the waterfall during a short visit to Kudhva in Cornwall. If you like camping with a twist this place is for you. kudhva.com/ Please do check out my Instagram for more photos @aarondinham
The coldest place in the cabin. No heat back here.

Arriving at sundown. The rain turned to snow overnight.

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.
While roaming the back roads of Ontario, I discovered this unique off-grid home. It was in my opinion, something deserving of a photograph.
