Standing on cold and windy bridges is a thing of the past ... for now anyway .... and rightly so. So a little man-cave trainspotting at Dairybeck and Holcoates with a 60's flavour.
Isolation desperation. - I finally got so frustrated about not being to got out, wander around at will, and take photos, that I put the PL 100-400 onto the E-M1 Mk II and went out into the back yard to see what I could photograph.
I discovered that, while photographing butterflies, you don't get many "keepers".

One of the things that I hate the most about the "new" Poland are the pseudo-elite housing estates closed behind concrete walls and remote control gates. The upper-class-wannabies live in these ghettos in illusion of luxury and safety.
Another long exposure (4 minutes I guess). I am still surprised how sharp this lens can be when focused correctly.
How many times does one hear others say, "I just need to get away from it all?" This phrase is one of great importance to most human beings. What is it saying? It is conveying a desire for privacy, isolation, and possibly quiet solitude. Solitude and silence are positive, precious life forces which every human needs and has the birthright to enjoy.
Where does this personal desire for isolation come from? It could range from any one of the common pressures of everyday life, stress from work, daily responsibilities, social pressures, weather; basically any kind of stressor that one experiences.
Human beings have the natural urge to distance themselves from others when they feel certain overwhelming emotions approaching. This can include crying, laughing, mourning, or just deep thinking.
The visual impact of nature, however, is one of the greatest reasons that one desires to isolate oneself away from the everyday urban world. As one stand over the mountain top, the air is clear and clean, the visibility goes for miles and miles. One just want to stop and take in the 360 degrees of pure grandeur before. The vastness of the natural mountain terrain is always incredible. There is a euphoric, drug-like high that one experiences at this point. Beholding a spectacle such as this, a person can interpret the beauty and appreciate it on a very personal level while contemplating their own existence.
At times like this , it can be a very spiritual moment. Each person has their own reason for isolation. The visual aspect of this physical removal from routine can be a very powerful and satisfying motive.

So here's the story:
One day I found this interesting light coming from our bedroom window and suddenly, my cheek looked like a chipmunk's.

“The isolation spins its mysterious cocoon, focusing the mind on one place, one time, one rhythm - the turning of the light. The island knows no other human voices, no other footprints. On the Offshore Lights you can live any story you want to tell yourself, and no one will say you're wrong: not the seagulls, not the prisms, not the wind.”
― M. L. Stedman - The Light Between Oceans
Traurig geht der Bösewicht durch's Leben;
Sein Genuß ist ein verwirrter Traum,
Seine Hoffnung eine welke Blume,
Seine Freude ein entlaubter Baum.
Düster steht er unter Gottes Sternen,
Ach, sein Herz hat keine Freudigkeit,
Schauernd blickt er nach dem Ziel des Lebens
Und erschrickt vor seiner Ewigkeit.
Johann Heinrich Witschel (1769 - 1847), deutscher Theologe und Dichter
Long exposure shot of an isolated rock in the sea basking in the setting golden sun with a view out to ailsa craig. Taken from Dunure, Ayrshire.
Really like the isolated feeling the photo creates. Also like how to rock is a similar shape to the island creating a natural link between the two elements.
Solitude is a state of seclusion or isolation, i.e. lack of contact with people or love. It may stem from bad relationships, deliberate choice, contagious disease, disfiguring features, mental illness
I've noticed the white spec only after I downloaded the image from the camera and I'm glad that, inspite of not being totally satisfied with it, I didn't delete the photo right on the spot, where it was taken. Whew.
