  • David Scott coaches his sons David, 16 and Douglas, 14 (the bigger of the two boys) in practice at the Sands of Wright on South Ronaldsay.  With the competition at the Gala several weeks away the fathers start getting their sons ready for the highly charged contest.  The boys are the third generation of Scotts who have been champions of the plowing, their father and grandfather have been champions as boys themselves.  Judging is on evenness of the furrows, etc.

  • Horses on the beach at Isle of Muck Farms at the end of the road on the small island.  From here you can see the Isle of Rum.<br />
<br />
Muck is the smallest of four main islands in the Small Isles, part of the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. It measures roughly 2.5 miles (4 km) east to west and has a population of around 30, mostly living near the harbour at Port Mòr. The other settlement on the island is the farm at Gallanach. The island's only road, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long, connects the two.

  • The dramatic bay at Uig creates a huge beach as the tides drain out every day on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis. Flowers grow profusely the machair, soils formed by blow shell sand from the beaches.  The surrounding dunes are held in place by colonizing grasses.  The dunes are also famous as the site where the Lewis Chessmen were found, thousand year old chess pieces found in the dunes.

  • Two farmers were digging out this center pivot irrigation system just east of Portales, NM that has been burried in the sand for seven years.  In this area of sand hills combined with high spring winds (and no ground cover on fields) sand dunes can form very quickly.  This area still has good water.

  • Water bubbles and gushes from a "Boiling Spring" on Birdwood Creek near North Platte, Nebraska in the Sandhills.  Water is welling up from the aquifer in the Sandhills.  In the vertical exposure of sand some 50 to 60 feed high above the spring you can see both water born sediments (below) and wind born sand dunes (above.)  In the background is Hydrologist Jim Goeke.<br />
Interstingly, the springs vary in the output depending on atmospheric conditions, dying down with high pressure and going wild with low preasure.

  • Endangered sea turtles struggle ashore on Juno Beach, north of Palm Beach, Florida, to lay their eggs in the soft sands, impaired by the shore lighting that can scare them away.  Worse, when the baby turtles hatch they often become confused by the lighting and turn away from the sea, making them easy prey for predators.

  • Ogallala formation near the Visitors Center in Ash Hollow State Park in Nebraska.  The long tubelike structures under the overhang are rodent burrows from the time when the fresh sands of the Ogallala, just washed down from the Rockies, were the topsoil of the region.  The smaller stringy formations are insect tunnels.  Beyond the formations can be seen Ash Hollow, the route of the Oregon Trail and beyond that the valley of the Platte River.

  • Children try on their elaborate costumes for their part as "horses" during the St. Margaret's Hope Gala in August.  The gala in the little South Ronaldsay community features boys plowing at the Sands of Wright outside of town, a century old competition.  Each plow is accompanied by a "horse," with the mothers of the children assembling highly decorated costumes for the competition, which can be quite fierce.
