Old forest friends.

August 14, 1983, 42 years ago today: I dropped my backpack and carried my camera five hundred feet down a side trail to Rands View, a spot at the top of a high, sloping pasture where a remarkable view northward revealed the Taconic Range from Lions Head in Connecticut to Mount Everett in Massachusetts.

August 14, 1983, 42 years ago today: The trail turned into a virtual rock climb straight up the face of a cliff to the top of Barrack Mountain. It was a rather sadistic climb for a backpacking trail, but some open ledges near the summit offered great views to the north and to the south — some of the nicest since Shenandoah National Park.

The old staithes at Peatdraught Bay, Edinburgh.
Sadly I can't find any history about the staithes nor the bays name origin though maybe the structure was built to load peat into ships for whoever had bought it
This could be misleading of course, perhaps it's a personal name of an old peasant that had a boat (hence the structure) and who also struggled to find fresh water
