... and not even any grass in his field. He was happy though to have his nose stroked ... and perhaps just enjoying the sun on his back
While visiting Mt. Rainier National Park weekend before last, I had one evening to head off on my own and catch the sunset. I was diligent and stopped in at the Visitor's center outside the park to get some advice.
I was directed up a fire road, which I knew in advance, but was surprised to find that it wasn't just 'up the hill a bit', it was a 9 mile, un-marked, branching, twisty, pot-holey mess of a road to who knows where. By the time I miraculously reached the end of the road everything was completely buried in fog. I hiked out on the wilderness trail a bit (Glacier View Trail, fyi) and shortly after turned around - defeated by the fog (I nearly got lost too).
So there I was, an hour from the main road and separated by 9 miles of pot holes. And mere miles from Mt. Rainier, but separated by the fog. Nobody was around at all - it was a strange level of isolation.
I started back down the road and eventually came back to this point where the sun was really starting to cast a warm light, and the trees created a nice silhouette and reflected the depth of the fog (I've bumped the contrast a bit too... not sure if I should have). This was the highlight of my little misadventure. Better luck next time I guess.
PS1: I'm off to Japan for a week, so definitely nothing new until later in November from me.
PS2: If anyone ever checks out 'all sizes', I've had a habit of resizing to 1280px wide to match my own monitor. This is set to 1900px wide to match a new monitor on its way - YAY!

I made this image while on my way back to Beeston from Spalding along the A52 at Donington in Lincolnshire. There were patches of dense fog forming in various places as the sky began to clear and the temperature dropped. Pulling over into a layby, I walked back along the road for 100 yards, set up my tripod and made a number of images. Shooting on the hoof is never the best way to make landscape images, but I felt the opportunity was too good to pass up.
Perch Rock Lighthouse New Brighton Wirral - 15.09.2017 . These were taken on the Beach at New Brighton ,I wanted to show the expance of sand which was blowing in my face all the time,thats why no one else was on the beach, I have never seen it like that before there,don't forget the Mersey Covers it every day twice . Perch Rock Lighthouse New Brighton Wirral - 15.09.2017 That beach was special on Thursday and was almost better than seeing the birds as the Gale force winds over the last week had cleaned and dried the sand . I cannot remember ever seeing this shot taken of this popular photographic spot. Best to view full screen if you can.
This is a black and white photograph of the Lighthouse erected on the Northern tip of Skopelos Island, Greece, at Cape Gourouni, viewed from afar. The 46-ft (14-m) high tower is rectangular and made of stone. The lighthouse has got a luminous range of 20 nautical miles; it functioned in 1884 for the first time.
The shot was inspired by the quotation from Virginia Woolf: ❝Lighthouses are endlessly suggestive signifiers of both human isolation and our ultimate connectedness to each other.❞

During our lockdown due to Covid-19 it can be hard to fill in the days but alos important to keep up some exercise. With a limit of 2 kilometres of movement from our homes we are very lucky to have 2 lovely beaches in our village.
I was up early to capture this scene, 4:30 to be precise. I was wandering solo in the forest, and I had a thought. "Wouldn't it be awesome if a moose walked right here into this scene?" And right on queue, literally, this big guy showed up for some posing. I watched, admiring him for about 30 minutes with the only sounds of birds chirping, water running in the creek, his footsteps, and an occasional mosquito. A beautiful morning in isolated Denali National Park.

Self-isolation is an effective precautionary measure to protect those around you – your family, friends, colleagues – from contracting COVID-19. It means taking simple, common-sense steps to avoid close contact with other people as much as possible.

Seen while walking around on a Monday morning waiting for my car to be serviced. The small industrial/ activity zone felt deserted.
I was equally amazed and challenged by all the shapes and compositions available in the sand dunes. I had scheduled more time shooting on the dunes - however, my trip was cut very short due to high winds.

The Faroes are one of the few places in the world where the majesty of the landscape still dwarfs the human footprint. The small lone cottage at the head of this fjord on Streymoy a perfect example.
I have edited this carefully to try and create a surreal look, a bit of a change from normal my pictures but I quite like the feeling and mood this conveys.
Wast Water was the perfect place for this kind of photo.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - It was cloudy all day and I wasn't expecting a good sunset. But when the clouds started clearing I drove up into the hills near Wyarno to catch this view.
