A power outage at the Village today afforded us the rare opportunity to show folks what it was really like "back then." The cabins looked much different dimly illuminated by natural light. Our school groups LOVED the experience--they didn't want to leave.
Life without electric light, while annoying at times, is also strangely peaceful.
Here are a couple of videos illustrating the importance of windows and natural light to those living without electricity. Pardon the quality of the video...it's a little rocky (hence the reason I'm an educator, not a filmaker :) )...
The first video is from our Marine School...a place with a lot of windows...
The second is from the Seela hands-on cabin. No window...but a lot of darkness.
Enjoy!
