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.
Stoically sitting apart from country life that is busily going on around it, this once heavily used barn sits in quietness as even the pigeons have moved on to more active sites.
Recently my wife and I visited some dear friends who had 4 grandchildren visiting, all of whom were under the age of eight. On our way home we talked about the excited noise that filled the house and reminded us of decades ago when our own home was this way. Silence becomes a constant companion for many of us as we age and live alone but it also is a nostalgic reminder that noise is connected with an active life.
This has to be one of my favorite covered bridges of the 70 + I have visited so far.. It's very rural, in an isolated wooded area and the only one with a waterfall flowing beneath it.
aka Doc Miller Covered Bridge
The Packsaddle Bridge is a historic covered bridge in Fairhope Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1877, and is a 48-foot-long Kingpost truss bridge, with full vertical plank siding and large cut stone abutments. The bridge crosses Brush Creek.
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.
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 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.

The farmhouse at the abandoned turkey farm on Poverty Flat, Idaho is surrounded by sagebrush now. When this land was settled much of the sagebrush was probably cleared, but it has taken over the land again. This is the view to the northeast and when you look at this and the other photos I have posted, you can get a good idea of how isolated this place is. The owner of this farm was probably Rodney Ream who raised 10,000 turkeys every year. That doesn't seem possible now.
This photo comes thanks to our Ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay to Gibson's Landing. A gorgeous sunset over a small and isolated island.

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.

I enjoy shooting images like this, the challenge is to find a clean background and hope the wind is kind.
I think this is Alder, these little buds or whatever they are do become quite photogenic if you can find the right spot.
Thunderstorm activity over Adelaide River in the NT build-up to the Wet Season, ten years ago in 2013!

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!
Sandhill Crane.
Between 34 to 48 inches in length with a wingspan of nearly 7 feet. They are very tall with a long neck and long legs. Largely gray with a red forehead. Juveniles browner with no red on head. Plumage often appears a rusty color because of iron stains from water of ponds or marshes.
They inhabit large freshwater marshes, prairie ponds and marshy tundra. They are also on prairies and grain fields during migration and in winter.
They range from Siberia and Alaska east across arctic Canada to the Hudson Bay and south to western Ontario. There are isolated populations in the Rocky Mountians, northern prairies, and the Great Lakes region along with in Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. They winter in California's Central Valley and across the southern states from Arizona to Florida. They can also be found in Cuba.
