Island of Sark

                       One of the Channel Islands is Sark.  Less than 400 people live there.
                                No cars are allowed; only horses, bicycles, and tractors.
                  From the pier where the ferry docks, tractors pull unique trailers loaded with tourists                                     up the steep hill to the little town on top of the island.  There are also a few farms                                           using tractors for the crops of hay and feed for livestock.    
                           Horse drawn wagons and carriages are used to give tours around the island;
                                              or tourist can rent bicycles to pedal and tour on their own.
                      There are some camp grounds; we've met people from Guernsey who go to Sark                                        every summer to camp for a week and enjoy the peace and quiet there.

                                       Looking from a high point, down to the ocean:

A quiet narrow lane: 


                                                          Caves at the seashore:

                                                                  The explorer:

A Granite mountain:
The earth is beautiful !
So much variety every where you go.
