In Between The Dunes
Because of the relatively high water table in White Sands National Park, there are many areas of a hardened sand between the taller dunes.
This is where the grasses grow and where you can see a different set of patterns.

Plage Vaiava is the best light grey #sand #beach in #Tahiti . It is not as good as the white sand beaches elsewhere in French #Polynesia, but #swimming and #snorkeling here are good. How did you like it? https://backpackandsnorkel.com/Tahiti-Beaches/#vaiava
#EarthenBricks can be used to build wildfire-resistant homes
It’s a modern version of an ancient building technique.
October 17, 2024
"When fire rages across a landscape, wood can go up in flames. But dirt does not burn, so some people are drawing inspiration from age-old earthen building methods to help create more fire-resilient homes.
"Morey: 'The blocks that I make are considered unfired earthen masonry, and we have been using this material for over 10,000 years.'
"That’s Lisa Morey, owner and founder of a company called Nova Terra. She says much of the world continues to build with earth, but it’s rare for new buildings in the United States. So she’s trying to change that.
"Her company manufactures compressed #EarthenBricks called EcoBlox. They’re made from #sand and #clay, mixed with lime for additional strength and water protection.
"The blocks themselves cannot burn.
"Morey: 'So … for wildfires that we’re seeing of course more often now, the walls provide a lot better resistance.'
"She says homes built with #EcoBlox can also be more energy efficient. And creating the blocks themselves uses minimal energy and fuel.
"So this modern take on an ancient building method can create homes that are better for the climate and less vulnerable to some of the impacts of a warming world."
