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.

Thanks Lenabem-Anna for this lovely texture!
A beautiful sunrise behind Thomas á Becket Church down on the Romney Marshes in Kent. Isolated at the moment by the high water levels!
Arguably the most iconic of all the churches on Romney Marsh, St Thomas Becket sits alone in a field, surrounded by water courses and sheep.
It was built in the 12th century and restored in the 18th century, when the original timber building was encased in brick. Much of the original timber work can be seen inside the church, which also contains a seven-sided font and triple-decker pulpit.
A beautiful but isolated farm, which I never get tired of visiting. A lovely place, both summer and winter and also a great fishing place.

On the Market square, opposite the New Church, you will find the historical Town Hall of Delft. The Town Hall was originally built in around 1200, but was almost completely destroyed by a fire in 1618. Only the tower ‘Het Steen’ survived.
The famous architect Hendrik de Keyser designed a new building around the tower. De Keyser was one of the best architects of his time. In addition to the Town Hall, his architectural achievements also included the ornate tomb of Willem of Orange in the New Church.
The tower ‘Het Steen’ was once used as a prison, and its most notorious prisoner was Balthasar Gerards, the man who assassinated Willem of Orange. The mediaeval prison, and the devices that we use a tortured prisoners, can still be seen during the school holidays as part of a guided tour. With the exception of the tower ‘Het Steen’, the Town Hall now houses the offices and assembly rooms of Delft city council.

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 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.
Isolated groups of survivors emerge from the shadows to take back the world that was once theirs...

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.

Protea is both the botanical name and the English common name of a genus of South African flowering plants, sometimes also called sugarbushes or fynbos. The family is Proteaceae. In local tradition, the protea flower represents change and hope. The extraordinary richness and diversity of species characteristic of the Cape flora are thought to be caused in part by the diverse landscape, where populations can become isolated from each other and in time develop into separate species. The main vectors responsible for the transfer of pollen in protea cultivation are birds, insects, and wind. Some Protea species exhibit both self-pollination and cross-pollination as a method of reproduction. Cross-pollination is preferred, though, as a method of reproduction because it provides genetic diversity in the population. When cultivating proteas, breeders use hand pollination as a controlled method to transfer pollen from one flower to another. Proteas usually flower during spring. The general structure of their flower heads consists of a mass of flowers on a woody receptacle. The ovary is protected by the receptacle, thus is not seen when looking at the flower, but the anthers are present at the top of the flower, which can then easily transfer the pollen to the vectors. 30019
Kirkjufell mountain and the coastal road near the town of Grundarfjörður, on the north coast of Snæfellsnes peninsula, Iceland.
Kirkjufell (Icelandic: Church Mountain) is a 463 m high mountain. This beautiful landmark is the most photographed mountain in Iceland. Its isolated position jutting out into the sea makes it a focal point for tourists and seamen alike. Surrounded by beaches, Kirkjufell has a lovely walking trail around it as well as a more challenging climb up to the top where bird and fish fossils can be found.
Beautiful isolated village on steep slopes. No cars can get in and the train needed a lot of tunnels
The best restaurant needed 200 almost vertical steps to get to it, but the food and views were wonderful
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.
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.
