I am in awe of the difficult and often isolated lives of Polar Bears. Imagine hunting seals on the sea ice with no land or companionship in sight.
The Arctic Ocean above Svalbard.
What a weird and terrifying year so far! After seemingly endless weeks of bad weather and one cold after the next we now face probably the worst crisis in my lifetime. I have not been very active with photography in the past weeks (mainly due to not going out much) and now that we are under lockdown there won't be many new photos - at least not landscapes!
I took this one last Sunday when we took the opportunity to finally go outdoors again to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air - I did not expect this to be the last day outdoors for the foreseeable future!
This was a lonely Hawthorne tree somewhere around Belstone tor.
Take care, stay safe and stay at home!
This valley is about 20 minutes’ walk from my home here in Oldham, UK.
Its only mid-afternoon and the light is going down fast but it does give the added bonus of some fine low side lighting on this tranquil scene. It’s cold and we have a light powdering of snow to lift our hopes and spirits in these strange dangerous times.
HFF to one and all and have a fine safe weekend.

It is disturbed by a gentle ripple chasing endlessly along the water's edge...
Not hunting nor the hunted.
But Ripple it does

Sometimes our identities get distorted because people lie about us and scare us, and sometimes our identities get distorted because of things we’ve actually done. The result is the same, though. Isolation. ~ Donald Miller
The main Assynt mountains are unique in that they stand in isolation from each other and are surrounded by a network of lochs, lochans, rivers and wild, largely pathless, ground.
Visible here (beyond the lochs) L to R are Suilven, Cul Mor, Cul Beag (summit in cloud) and Stac Pollaidh, which is seen from its other (southern) side in the previous upload. The lower slopes of Canisp can also be seen disappearing behind the right-hand edge of Suilven.
I was fortunate to arrive at this location during one of the few clear periods of the day. Even so a(n almost) clear view of the whole of Suilven was a rarity.
My tent was pitched in a perfect location for enjoying the beauty of the Himalayas in complete isolation.....taken on trek to Hampta Pass in Himachal Pradesh, India

Many of us have done that, mentally that is, even before Corona-Virus popped up. Treating the thoughts of 'the other' like a virus and being eager to self-inoculate us against ideas declared to be 'alien', is the unfortunate result of a narrowing of the mind. And I have not even begun to contemplate the historical record of people themselves being identified with the virus.
