Discover Your Own Slice of Paradise at a Hidden Beach
Hideaway BeachWhile wandering through the varied and lush tropical foliage, the air thick with the scent of blooming flowers and the sound of rustling fronds, I marveled at the vibrant greens surrounding me. The sun filtered through the canopy, casting dappled light on the path ahead.
As I ventured further, I stumbled upon a hidden trail – less trodden, yet inviting. Curiosity propelled me forward, and soon, the dense flora opened up to reveal a breathtaking sight: a secret resort beach.
Soft white sands glistened brightly under the sun like diamond dust. Crystal-clear turquoise waters lapped gently at the shore, creating a melody that harmonized with the echoing calls of tropical birds. Palm trees swayed lazily in the breeze, offering shade and a sense of serenity, making it a sanctuary from a busy world.
It wasn’t just a destination; it was a total sensory reset. In that moment, tucked away from the rest of life’s stresses, I hadn’t just found a beach – I’d found a version of paradise that felt like it belonged to those courageous enough to seek it out.
Many times the best travel experiences aren’t the ones we plan months in advance. They are the ones that require us to be a little bit lost, a little bit sweaty, and a whole lot of curious.
Pro Tip: Always take the less traveled path. Usually, it leads to the best memories and maybe even the best views.Words and images by Michael J. Hall

🇺🇸 ВМС США вновь провели испытательные стрельбы электромагнитной рельсотронной пушки после нескольких лет фактической заморозки программы.
Как сообщается, испытания прототипа прошли в феврале 2025 года на полигоне White Sands в Нью-Мексико в рамках трехдневной серии пусков, организованной подразделениями Центра надводных боевых систем ВМС США.
Работы велись совместно с Управлением перехода гиперзвуковых технологий (Joint Hypersonics Transition Office), которое отвечает за внедрение и развитие перспективных гиперзвуковых систем.
Рельсотрон использует электромагнитное ускорение вместо порохового заряда, разгоняя металлическую болванку до экстремальных скоростей, что потенциально позволяет поражать морские, наземные и даже воздушные цели на большой дальности.
Например, стандартная американская 127-мм артиллерийская установка Mark 45 разгоняет 31-килограммовый снаряд до скорости около 760–830 м/с и имеет дальность стрельбы примерно 24–37 км в зависимости от типа боеприпаса.
Прототип рельсотрона, разработанный для ВМС США, способен разгонять 10–12-килограммовый снаряд до скоростей порядка 2–2,5 км/с (более 6–7 скоростей звука), что теоретически позволяет поражать цели на огромных дистанциях.
При этом интересно, что программа долгое время считалась закрытой: еще в начале 2020-х ВМС США объявили о сворачивании работ после технических проблем — прежде всего огромных требований к энергоснабжению, охлаждению и быстрому износу ствола при стрельбе на высоких скоростях.
Однако интерес к технологии вернулся на фоне планов создания нового класса крупных кораблей, инициированных Трампом, где рельсотрон рассматривается как одно из ключевых вооружений наряду с гиперзвуковыми ракетами, лазерами и традиционными артиллерийскими установками.
На видео можно видеть стрельбу из прототипа рельсотрона на испытательном полигоне в Вирджинии в 2016 году.

Sand And Sky So Blue
Back to White Sands National Park for a bit.
You have to walk a bit to find the dunes without human marks, if that's your thing. It's my thing.
Just wind-made waves.

rb131 – SCO – Wandern von Arisaig nach Rhu Beach – 2023-07-15
Für heute hatten wir uns eine Wanderung vorgenommen, Start ist Arisaig und von dort aus wollten wir zu einem Sandstrand, der Rhu Beach laufen.
Laut https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/56.8965/-5.8912 sollten es nur 7,7 km für eine Richtung sein. Das dürfte auch so ziemlich hingekommen sein.
Kaum das wir losgelaufen waren, kamen wir an diesem Schaukelparadies vorbei. Aber auch so war das eine sehr schöne Route, immer in Küstennähe entlang.
Ich liebe ja Wollgras und die [...]

rb130 – SCO – White Sands of Morar – 2023-07-14
Aufstehen, Tee trinken und Umgebung genießen, so fängt mein Tag immer an. Ich mag das so früh allein mit der Natur, auch wenn sie nicht immer freundlich ist.
Die Kinder ihre Kreativität laufen lassen und Muscheln gesammelt und bemalt. Da sind wirklich tolle Sachen zusammen gekommen.
Heute stehen die White Sands of Morar auf dem Plan. Hier waren wir schon mal vor 25 Jahren, mittlerweile gibt es keine gehimtipps mehr in Schottland. Wo wir früher über eine Abenteuerliche Single Track [...]
