  • Mar Lodge Estate is a Scottish Highland estate in Aberdeenshire, owned by the National Trust for Scotland. It is entirely contained within the Cairngorms National Park and important for nature conservation, landscape, recreation and culture. <br />
Mar Lodge, under the direction of Shaila Rao, is undertaking a major realignment of their ecology, striving to bring back much more of the Caledonian Forrest that has been lost. To do that they are culling the deer population that suppresses growth of trees.

  • Stacking oats on the farm of Eshete Girma in the central Shewa region of Ethiopia north of Addis Ababa. The oats are being brought in from the fields on donkeys, then stacked with the grain to the inside of the stack so that it will dry and be protected from rain, before it is threshed. <br />
<br />
Building the stacks is actually a quick affair, taking on half an hour or so.  Seen on top of the stack is Eshete's son and farmer Girma Regassa, directing the operations and building he final cap on the stack. <br />
<br />
The oat variety is an old locally adapted variety called Avena Vaviloviana, named after the famed Russion seed saver N.I. Vavilov who traveled this region in the 1920's doing research and collecting seeds. <br />

  • Harvesting and stack oats on the farm of Melaku Yifku in the Seriti Village of the Chacha district north of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.<br />
<br />
Workers are cutting the oats by hand with sickles, and pile them behind them as they move up the field, singing as they go. Then the bundles are hauled to the stacks where a man on top arranges them so that the grain heads are to the inside of the stack so they will dry and be protected from rain before being threshed. The man on the top of the stack is Nigussu Kissaye.<br />
<br />
Horses are grazing on the new cropped oat ground, foraging for leftover grain and straw.<br />
<br />
In the distant valley are other villages in their typical hilltop positions.

  • A family bible lies open in a deserted croft house on North Ronaldsay, the most remote of the Orkney Islands.  When crofters left (or were displaced by landowners) they often simply walked away, evidenced by the cups and saucers still sitting on the shelves.  The slate roof has fallen in letting in the rain and sunlight.

  • The archeology dig site at the Ness of Brodgar in Orkney that is revealing a Neolithic sacred site hitherto unknown. The dig is under the direction of Nick Card from ORCA in Orkney. Large structures are coming to light after several years of digging, revealing a 1,000 year history of occupation and development at the transitional period between hunter/gatherer society and the coming of agriculture.

  • Seed from the Kew Millennium Seed Bank collection at Wakehurst, outside London in the UK.  <br />
<br />
Bertholletia excelsa (Lecythidaceae) – Brazil nut; native to Brazil – large woody fruit with animal-made hole affording a view of an eroded seed. In its natural habitat, the Brazilian rainforest, the mature fruits fall on the ground where agoutis (cat-size brown rodents) are the only animals that are able to gnaw their way through the fruit wall into the seeds. They eat some of the seeds of a fruit and cache the rest for subsequent use. Seeds left in a forgotten cache eventually germinate after 12 to 18 months and give rise to a new Brazil nut tree. <br />
Snippets from the internet: A forest tree, native to northern Brazil and Guiana, that grows 100' tall and has been grown in Hawaii. The fruit is round, woody, 6" long and contains 12-24 nuts per fruit. Almost all of the commercial crop is collected from wild trees<br />
Very good info about the economy etc. of the Brazil nut: http://www.rain-tree.com/brazilnu.htm

  • St. Michael's Mount in the morning as rains come and go.  Known since Biblical times as a tin trading center, St. Michael's Mount was a Celtic sacred site, thence a monastery and then the site of the castle we see today.  A causeway allows access at low tide.
