Voluntary social isolation one day or two, to work with pictures and more goes well, but a forced one feels much worse. Maybe because we don't know how long the insulation will last.
Take care everyone
BTW Whoopers have arrived now to Sweden, coming in thousends.

Taken at the same time as 'Walking among giants' flic.kr/p/2k7PbgX , this beech stands a little away from the line - and probably more at risk from mishit golf balls!
Once upon a time, somewhere in the fall en France.

Snowy Egret is in a quiet place, No other birds around in his space, just him. Enjoying the Silence and Peace alone with Calmness. No Sounds, no Noise, he is so still.
A simple handheld image of this iconic location. My wife was with me and i'm strictly limited to 30 seconds per photo. I hope to return in the next few days at dawn to take a better image. Great to see snow still on the mountains.

El poblet molt fotogenic i turistic de Hauterives, a les Gorges del Tarn, potser vist des de la carretera, però no s'hi pot arrivar. Com a mínim de manera directa. Suposo que algun llarg camí des d'algun poble del entorn i deu menar. Però pel camí curt suposo que només es pot atravessant el riu Tarn en barca o en el teleferic monta-carregues que hi ha al costat de la carretera.

====================
The very photogenic and tourist village of Hauterives, in the Gorges del Tarn, may be seen from the road, but you can't get there. At least directly. I guess some long path from some village in the area must lead there. But by the short way I guess you can only cross the Tarn River by boat or on the cable car that is on the side of the road.

The Northumberland Hills are a harsh and often wind-swept environment and any tree that makes it is a survivor and many of those that do are likely to be on their own.
Taken on the Ranger's path in Snowdonia.
The Snowdon Ranger Path is one of the quieter official routes to the summit and possibly one of the oldest. The trail starts from the Snowdon Ranger Youth Hostel on the shores of Llyn Cwellyn on the A4085 between Caernarfon and Beddgelert. Regular Snowdon Sherpa buses ply their way past, as well as the Welsh Highland Railway.

I am supposed to be on holiday this long weekend in Taupo, where I was hopefully going to get some more shots of the Taupo tree. However due to lockdown I'm left with photos of my last visit two years ago to process instead. Shot taken June 2018, Taupo, New Zealand
This tree stands alone, and yet, not alone, in the middle of the field. I can see it for miles. It can see me for miles. I cannot get near it - too many challenging circumstances.
I put my mask on and go out into the world. I am faceless. People can see me coming. I can see them coming. They walk far away, around me, or, turn the other way. We cannot get near each other - too many challenging circumstances.
I have become like this tree - isolated, standing alone, and yet, not alone, in the middle of my world.
I visited north Wales last week (I keep going back) and couldn't resist revisiting Llyn Padarn and the lone tree. This time I managed to capture a snow covered backdrop which brings a different take on a familiar scene.

Isolated from other walls and buttes working to become isolated pillars, Standing Rock is a well known feature of Monument Basin in Canyonlands, often seen and photographed from Grandview Point on Island in the Sky 2000’ / 600 m above. The north-facing slopes still hold snow from a significant storm 3 days prior to when this photo was taken.
Standing Rock was first climbed in 1962 by Layton Kor and colleagues, because as they put it “it won’t always be there.” They described the Organ Rock shale that the pillar is made of as "layers of rye-krisp sandwiched between layers of kitty litter." As you might guess few people have been on the summit of this 300’ / 90 m tower.
I had visited this area a year ago, managing to get a flat tire and lacking the appropriate lug nuts for the spare… that saga is best forgotten ;-). This year’s trip was successful in that I managed to drive the entire White Rim road, though the conditions were tricky at times with snow, ice, and slippery mud on steep slopes. The weather was also dicey at times with high winds, occasional snow, and cold temperatures. But hey, dramatic weather sometimes yields beautiful scenes.
Heaven or Hell ?
I am going to leave it to the viewer of this pic to decide, is it heaven or hell for you ? Could you live in such an isolated cottage ? Just a few sheep for company, no neighbours, no mobile networks, no shops in walking distance. You could be snowed in for months through the winter, you decide!!
The Llanberis Pass lies between the mountain massifs of Snowdon and the Glyderau in the county of Gwynedd, in northwestern Wales. The summit of the pass is 359 m (1,178 ft) above sea level, and is the site of the Pen-y-Pass Hotel, now a Youth Hostel. The A4086 road traverses the pass. The Nant Peris valley lies to the northwest descending to the town of Llanberis, the Llyn Peris and Llyn Padarn lakes and continues on as the Afon Rhythallt to Caernarfon and the Menai Strait. The valley is narrow, straight and steep-sided, with rocky crags and boulders on either side of the road.
About one mile to the east of Pen-y-Pass is the Pen-y-Gwryd Hotel. To the east of this are the headwaters of the Dyffryn Mymbyr, a tributary of the River Llugwy which it joins at Capel Curig. To the south of Pen-y-gwryd are the headwaters of the Afon Glaslyn which flows southwestwards towards Beddgelert.

Chamaepetes goudotii goudotii (Sickle-winged guan / Pava maraquera)
The sickle-winged guan (Chamaepetes goudotii) is a species of bird in the chachalaca, guan, and curassow family Cracidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
The subspecies of sickle-winged guan are distributed thus:
C. g. goudotii, western and central Andes of Colombia south to Nariño Department
C. g. sanctaemarthae, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta of northeastern Colombia
C. g. fagani, west slope of the Andes from Colombia's Nariño Department south to Ecuador's El Oro Province
C. g. tschudii, east slope of the Andes from southern Colombia through Ecuador to Peru's Department of San Martín
C. g. rufiventris, east slope of the Andes from central to southern Peru and isolated areas in north and central Bolivia.
The sickle-winged guan inhabits humid and wet forest, preferring tall forest but also found at edges and in secondary forest. The sickle-winged guan is generally a bird of middle elevations. In Colombia is mostly between 1,100 and 2,500 m (3,600 and 8,200 ft).
