Week Four HDPD In Isolation competition entry. STROBE INFO. Two speedlights and taken with a single shot. One to the right and behind at board level firing through an oblong soft box at 45 degrees, also modified by a single white sheet which creates a feathered light from the back to the front. The second speedlight is beside the camera left and low pointing to the centre of the black pieces.
Love these old small holdings you can come across on Dartmoor.No road leading from it just a dirt track through the moor .
This image was taken at Sherberton Common near Bell Tor.
Thank you for viewing and any comments.
Pic taken yesterday evening.. another isolated evening. Felt positive to see colourful kites all around. I am sure things will be back to normal soon, but I wish this time people learn what the nature trying to deliver the message.. SLOW DOWN.
Visited Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield last week for the first time. Took this minimalist, abstract shot of the building from the beautiful gardens, which happened to include a masked visitor admiring the view from the window.
This is another version of the same Toronto's city hall I posted earlier.

We spend the weekend around Yosemite. This is one of the beautiful shots from the trip. Even the waterfalls were dry, Yosemite was still adorable...
I took this shot early in the morning at the river just down the bank from our campsite. A bit tricky to set up, as I didn't want my camera to end up in the drink.

Corona beer in rural isolation. Apparently Corona beer sales are off as people shun it due to the name it shares with the dreaded Corona Virus. When news of the virus started to emerge I said to my hubby, I'll bet this is going to hurt Corona beer. People are so predictable and silly.
Luckily, I drink red wine. Can you imagine if they had named this the Cabernet Virus, Yikes!
We're Here is visiting the Corona Virus Group, yes there really is such a group. Flickr has it all.

Matthew 14:23
After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone ..
Maybe it would be good for us to get alone with God and talk to Him and listen to Him.
Maybe it would save us a lot of unnecessary anxiety if we did it first as last.
I frequently bring myself to wonder how I'd survive if I were to reside in those isolated houses for a some time.
I think I'd go bonkers. Yet, it provides a sane, tranquil release from the corporate and societal rat race. Will I survive?

In addition to the cluster photo, I also wanted to get a shot of a single beetle, which I got here.
Species: Convergent Lady Beetle (Hippodamia convergens)
Location: Northern California, CA, USA
Equipment: Canon EOS R5 + EF 100-400mm IS II + EF 1.4x III Extender, On Tripod, Natural Light
Settings: 1/40s, ISO: 320, f/10 @560mm, Electronic Shutter
The first supply aircraft in over six months landed at Europe’s Concordia station on 6 November, bringing long-awaited equipment, food – including fresh fruit – and replacement personnel.
The flight comes just seven weeks after daylight returned to the station on 17 September, following 105 days of continuous night.
Pictured here is glaciologist and atmospheric physicist Giampietro Casasanta from the Italian National Research Council waiting outside in the snow for the aircraft.
ESA-sponsored medical doctor Beth Healey, from the UK, is spending nine months at Concordia as part of the 2015 winter-over team.
ESA sponsors a medical research doctor in Concordia every winter to study the long-term effects of isolation. Understanding how our bodies and minds adapt to extreme environments will help to overcome the challenges of long flights aboard the International Space Station and beyond.
Concordia research station in Antarctica sits on a plateau 3200 m above sea level. A place of extremes, temperatures can drop to –80°C in the winter, with a yearly average temperature of –50°C.
As Concordia lies at the southern tip of Earth, the Sun does not rise above the horizon in the winter and does not set in the summer. The crew must live without sunlight for four months of the year.
The altitude and location mean that the air in Concordia is very thin and holds less oxygen. Venturing outside the base requires wearing layers of clothes and limits the time spent outdoors.
During the harsh winter no outside help can be flown in or reach the base over land – the crew have to solve any problems on their own.
The base is so unlike anything found elsewhere in the world that ESA participates in the Italian–French base to research future missions to other planets.
