High in the mountains we passed this village which is covered in fresh snow.
It is surely tuff to live up there in the older days. Respect for these people.
@polaroidweek day three, image two.
Among the deep canyons and crevices of Arches National park these amazing trees (juniper?) keep a tenuous hold and seem to survive despite little rain, extreme temperatures and sparse soil conditions.
With a lockdown in place it is against the rules for me to go to places I like to shoot, so I though I would try to create a series called Isolated creativity. The series is not intended to be a diary but a way of documenting thoughts and emotions via photography.
Without a vaccine or an effective treatment I cannot see how we will return to the way we were before.
I loved this old, ruined homestead and the wonderful fence surrounding it.
I wrote a blog post about this trip in February/March 2022. If you'd like to see some behinds the scene shots, video and read some stories about how I shot these images, take a look.
I love photographing on the Canadian Prairies and I've been travelling there to do so since 2013. If you'd like to see my other Prairie images, feel free to take a look at the album.

The last of the three images I shot of this wonderful isolated barn. I know it's a variation on the other two, but I liked all three for different reasons. Which is your favourite? Isolated Barn I, Isolated Barn II or this one?
I wrote a blog post about my springtime Saskatchewan trip that has some behind-the-scenes pics and stories which you might enjoy.

Detailed macro photograph of a black and green moth perched on a twig, isolated against a vibrant green backdrop. Penthophera morio
I took this shot over 6 years ago and uploaded it (or one similar) at the time but was reminded of it this week and decided to have a go at reprocessing it.
It was taken with what was probably my least favourite of the Olympus cameras I have owned but I really like the image even though there are some things I would do differently if I could take it again today.
This is Athnamulloch Bothy at the far end of Loch Affric.

Having missed the opportunity to photograph some of the dramatic hail/snow showers of recent days, I had to settle for this little outburst over Belfast!
Haven't been out in the snow as much as I'd have liked this year but thoroughly enjoyed it when I could.
We've had bumper levels of snow but it's been very short lived. I was lucky enough to get out on this such day. The snow doing a great job of simplifying a scene down to just the bare essentials.

From 45 miles away in Colorado, these fully developed strong thunderstorms lasted only long enough to highlight the setting sun's last rays.
Picture of the Day
My third attempt to shoot stars at Den Treek and I finally succeeded!
Just after sunset I arrived at the scene. The sky was clear and it was windstill, which was important for the kind of shot I wanted. I had set up a shot but then the full moon rose above the tree line. It gave me so much front light it was almost like shooting towards the sun.
Because of the moon my shots didn't turn out like I wanted and tried some other compositions to take advantage of the moon, but I wasn't satisfied.
I wanted to shoot away from the moon to make lemonade from the big lemon in the sky. So I followed a small path into the fields, tripped a couple of times in the darkness over dead pieces of wood and hidden ditches, but found this isolated tree. With the moon in the back I managed to shoot two 11 minute shots. The battery died otherwise I would have shot another one. The shots I have are combined into one and I think the result is pretty decent!
I like the simple composition and the arc of the stars. There were some little flowers in the grass in front of the tree you can barely see but I think it is a nice touch.
I would love to read your opinions!
Thunderstorm activity over Adelaide River in the NT build-up to the Wet Season, ten years ago in 2013!
Viewed from Elizabeth River in Archer NT Australia.
Cruising into Bear Trap at the restricted 30 MPH U719 barley misses the sun as an isolated thunderstorm was building to the west. Road construction towards Culver Township ended the chase as they got pretty far ahead.
The violet turaco or violet plantain-eater (Musophaga violacea) resides in the tropical savannas, wetlands, woodlands and forests of tropical West Africa.
They are found from Senegal through to Nigeria and also an isolated population in Chad and the Central African Republic.
Averaging 45 - 50 cm in length, including a long tail.
Violet turacos are named for their rich purple feathers. The only turaco species without a crest, they showcase a bright red bill, yellow forehead and magenta crown.
Violet turacos are social birds, travelling in flocks of around ten to twelve individuals. They are quiet unmistakable, although often inconspicuous in the treetops.
Their diet consists of fruit, and they are quite partial to figs, but they will also eat leaves, buds, flowers, insects, snails and slugs.
De violette toerako (Musophaga violacea) leeft in de savannes en bossen van tropisch West-Afrika.
Ze worden gevonden van Senegal tot Nigeria en in een geïsoleerd gebied in Tsjaad en de Centraal-Afrikaanse Republiek.
Gemiddeld zijn de vogels 45 à 50 cm lang, inclusief een lange staart. De violette toerako dankt zijn naam aan de paars gekleurde veren. Het is de enige soort toerako zonder kuif. Ze hebben een fel rode snavel, een geel voorhoofd en een roodpaarse kruin.
Het zijn sociale vogels in groepen van acht tot twaalf dieren, vaak onopvallend en stil aanwezig in boomtoppen.
Hun dieet bestaat uit fruit, vooral vijgen, maar ze zullen ook bladeren, knoppen, bloemen, insecten, en slakken eten.
Deze opname is gemaakt in de tropische vlindertuin Klein Costa Rica in Someren (Noord-Brabant oostelijk van Eindhoven).

A walk along a very empty Northumberland beach, it was wet and cold the dog and us loved it .I had my mini tripod with me and that came in useful to focus on the lone Sea shell and and de focus the rest of the beach. I do enjoy isolating a subject such as this .
It surprises me how many images from our Northumberland trip that I have not edited and posted, so while I have been somewhat stuck inside decorating and not had any camera time I can show a few more interspersed with more local recent images .
Finished my painting today just the clearing up to do now but the weather looks grim for the next few days .
Isolated oak tree in the heart of Ashdown Forest. The forest in the background shows autumn colours have mostly been and gone here
An early morning view of the Almerian coastline last Autumn and a lone "camper van" looking isolated, but essentially "free". These days will come back eventually and we will all be free again to get out in the big wide world.
I loved the light on this morning on my way back from a dawn photography trip to nearby Perulico. Great memories and a feeling I"m sure all landscape photographers enjoy from our silly o clock trips!
