Some pictures....finally

Here are some embarrassingly belated pictures from the field trip I took back in September (up to the Highlands...very very beautiful countryside, of which I took a grand total of zero pictures. You'll just have to come visit).

Here are some very cool looking stripey cows.


If you squint, you can kind of see the reindeer. It was an absolute downpour at this point, so I only took this one picture, and it didn't really come out. We got to feed the reindeer out of our hands...I can't even describe how cool that was.


The Findhorn eco-village:


The wastewater treatment plant at Findhorn. The simplicity, lack of anything gross (there was no smell at all, besides maybe some of the better smelling plants and flowers), and unassuming nature of this little greenhouse system were all quite a surprise. All of the sewage from the village goes through this system, and clean water comes out at the end. No industrial chemicals, not a lot of energy input. Pretty amazing.


One interesting cluster of houses at the eco-village. These houses were built inside old barrels from a whiskey distillery.
