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.

Chiffchaff - Phylloscopus collybita
The common chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita), or simply the chiffchaff, is a common and widespread leaf warbler which breeds in open woodlands throughout northern and temperate Europe and Asia.
It is a migratory passerine which winters in southern and western Europe, southern Asia and north Africa. Greenish-brown above and off-white below, it is named onomatopoeically for its simple chiff-chaff song. It has a number of subspecies, some of which are now treated as full species.
This warbler gets its name from its simple distinctive song, a repetitive cheerful chiff-chaff. This song is one of the first avian signs that spring has returned. Its call is a hweet, less disyllabic than the hooeet of the willow warbler or hu-it of the western Bonelli's warbler.
The common chiffchaff breeds across Europe and Asia east to eastern Siberia and north to about 70°N, with isolated populations in northwest Africa, northern and western Turkey and northwestern Iran. It is migratory, but it is one of the first passerine birds to return to its breeding areas in the spring and among the last to leave in late autumn. When breeding, it is a bird of open woodlands with some taller trees and ground cover for nesting purposes. These trees are typically at least 5 metres (16 ft) high, with undergrowth that is an open, poor to medium mix of grasses, bracken, nettles or similar plants. Its breeding habitat is quite specific, and even near relatives do not share it; for example, the willow warbler (P. trochilus) prefers younger trees, while the wood warbler (P. sibilatrix) prefers less undergrowth. In winter, the common chiffchaff uses a wider range of habitats including scrub, and is not so dependent on trees. It is often found near water, unlike the willow warbler which tolerates drier habitats. There is an increasing tendency to winter in western Europe well north of the traditional areas, especially in coastal southern England and the mild urban microclimate of London. These overwintering common chiffchaffs include some visitors of the eastern subspecies abietinus and tristis, so they are certainly not all birds which have bred locally, although some undoubtedly are.

On the road to the Air Force Base, this isolated tree was not only all by itself, covered in frost it was also stunningly beautiful.
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.
Strong North winds have isolated all transportation to all Aegean islands.
One of the bad things about living on one..
Have a good evening my friends.
This moment at the evening, when the sun is setting into the ocean, is always a breathtaking view. To experience this on such a beautiful place like Praia de Melides was something really special for me.
I did walk for a while up and down the edge of the cliff looking for a suitable location for that photo and it was so difficult to decide. In the end, it was this tiny biotope what did draw my attention the most.
Just imagine You are a resident of this isolated world. Everything seems to be normal for You. You do Your daily work trying to make ends meet. But one day You are able to see the big picture and You realise, that the part of the world You call Your home, it's actually the only part of it what is left. How would this recognition change You future decitions ?
Der Moment, wenn die Sonne am Abend im Meer versinkt ist immer ein atemberaubender Anblick. Diesen dann noch an einem so wunderschönen Ort wie dem Praia de Melides zu verbringen war etwas ganz Besonderes für mich.
Ich bin lange am Rande der Küste auf und abgewandert um nach einer geeigneten Stelle für dieses Foto zu suchen und es fiel mir unheimlich schwer, mich zu entscheiden. Am Ende war es dieses kleine Biotop, was mich am meissten angezogen hat.
Stell dir vor, Du bis ein Bewohner dieser isolierten Welt. Alles scheint für Dich normal zu sein. Du gehst deinem Tagwerk nach und versuchst über die Runden zu kommen. Doch eines Tages hast Du die Möglichkeit das große Ganze zu sehen und Du erkennst, dass der Teil der Welt, den Du Deine Heimat nennst in Wirklichkeit das Letzte, ist was von dieser noch übrig ist. Wie würde diese Erkenntnid Deine zukünftigen Entscheidungen beeinflussen ?

A lone scrub tree clings to the rippled sand in Copper Canyon.
Tonights festivities were to begin at 11:00pm, so we set off in the dark towards a location our guide was really proud to show us. He told of hidden dunes down a long dirt road that follows a canyon. Well the road was very difficult if impossible to follow and in several places required the guide to walk in front of the jeep with a high power torchlight to lead the way. As we crossed the various types of terrain we came to a long....long section of pillow stone and bounced our way through that and finally arrived at the "dunes". We made our way onto the dunes and was surprised to find that the dunes were nearly solid, all the ripples had solidified making it much easier to move around without leaving any footprints although the top off the dunes along the ridges were still somewhat soft with a slight crust on top. The guide Quanah Parker of Majestic Monument Valley Tours was not kidding, this area was very isolated and seemed to have been unaffected by mans progress or by any beast for that matter. Nothing but the wind and isolation. Hope you like it!!!! :)
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!!
Have a great day my friends!! :)

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.

Zanskar is the most isolated valley in India and Phuktal is the remotest part of Zanskar. The Phuktal monastery is the epitome of monks living high up in the mountains, detached from the rest of the world. By the time we reached the Phuktal monastery the monks had gathered for lunch. This was the view at the meal times. It won't cost you a dime. Just a lifetime of being a monk!
Read the full story of our visit to Phuktal monastery at Trek to Phuktal Monastery.
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.
taken by me.. wasn't my cam !
hope u'll like it =)

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.
