I wanted you to see the size of this place. When I found out it was purchased by and designed by the developers out of Austin, Texas, I wasn't surprised. The place is huge and they tried to touch on everything. It's positioned so people can sit out on the farthest deck and watch the sunset. Of course, small bars are out positioned in different areas of the deck. And sure, live bands..;) Sooooo Austin. Don't get me wrong, it's a great setup. It doesn't fit the rest of the city or coastal area, but that's the way it goes. I wonder how the locals feel about it?
Last week we had some foggy days. There was a time i would have stayed at home, edting pictures instead of taking pictures. But whenever there are clouds, mist, or even rain, i will certainly go out now. Just getting out of bed early seems to be the hardest part :P
Thank you for watching, kind regards, Christophe.
We've reached the marker cairn, and a short rest. Ahead lies the steepest part of the climb which takes us up on to the summit plateau before we eventually reach An Socach. It will take us about 30 minutes so I'll see you up there!
After a few test runs and weeks of chiropractic care on my back, it's finally time to start the climbing season with a climb up An Socach. An Socach (pronounced An S-Oh-Ack) is my 17th Munro and stands at 944 meters (3097 feet), and although not the longest of climbs parts of it are very steep.
Marker Wadden is a cluster of five new, uninhabited natural islands, which were artificially created in the Netherlands from 2016 to 2021 || Marker Wadden is een cluster van vijf nieuwe, onbewoonde natuureilanden, die van 2016 tot 2021 kunstmatig zijn aangelegd in Nederland
The Marker Wadden are artificial islands in the Markerlake in the Netherlands. The construction started in 2016, and the first islands were opened for the public in 2021.
It is (as far as I know) the only place in the Netherlands where people are guests. Nature is in charge here!
Already soon after the islands were developed birds found their way, and now it really is a birds paradise. One (of five) island is open for the public, but only a limited amount of people can go there because there is only a limited boat connection.
During spring and summer the islands are stuffed with birds who raise their young in every possible corner. As visitor you can walk around and part of the path are wooden walkways (as you can see) from where you have an excellent view on wildlife.

Since I'd done the 2 summits so quickly I'm heading back to the shores of Loch Vrotachan for some lunch. On the way back down from The Cairnwell I pass these marker cairns, with the first summit of the day, Carn Aosda clearly visible in the distance.
This trip sees me bagging 2 more Munro's. Carn Aosda, my 22nd Munro, stands at 917 meters (3008 feet), while The Cairnwell, my 23rd Munro, stands at 933 meters (3061 feet). They do both stand at the heart of the Glenshee Ski Development, so may be not a pretty or remote as some other Munro's.
The name of my village, Markyate, refers to boundaries ('mark' and 'gate'). When you mark something out, you are drawing boundaries around it. Markers are signs pointing to these boundaries, many of them imaginary. There are plenty of these in the village.
This marker at the end of a wall is a kind of polyglott, its language will be understood around the world in various ways. What does it tell you?
When I captured this scene back in July, it was just the onset of yet another summer thunderstorm. One of countless similar images collected over the course of a seemingly endless stream of summer evenings. But they weren't endless. And looking back, this moment, like so many others, has forever escaped my grasp. I didn't post this photo in the moment because I figured there would be a better time, a better storm, better light, or maybe a better frame of mind for me to capture the scene. None of those conditions came to pass. And as it turns out, all of those better things existed only at the precise time I spent gazing across the meadow at this lone tree. I passed by this meadow the other day. The tree is still there. But nothing about the scene looks or feels the same as it did on that stormy July evening back when summer felt endless.

Statue commemorating the practise of 'Swan Upping', carried out annually in July when the mute swans on the Thames, up as far as Oxfordshire, are ringed and divided between The Crown, The Vintners' Company and The Dyers' Company. Before leg rings were common they were marked by nicks in their bills.
The beauty of the 50mm lens (and this AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G is a beautiful lens) is that it clarifies everything to a specific point of view. If you want to increase your field of view, you have to walk backwards. Or in this case you become part of the landscape itself. You can't zoom in, you just have to get in there among the wide grasses on the river bank. For me the highlight was capturing that green channel marker.
Partway up the path that leads to the summit of Mount is this marker Cairn. You can see where we've come from with Glen Tanar below but there's still plenty of climbing to do, so no time to dilly-dally!
Mount Keen is my 11th Munro and this is my second time of climbing it. It is the most easterly of all the Munros and stands at 939 Meters (3080 feet), forming an almost perfect cone. A 7 mile cycle up Glen Tanar gets us to the foot of the 2 mile ascent up the mountain.
This shot was taken the night of the full moon down at Portarlington with the moon just peeping up on the horizon behind the green marker. The clouds were nothing like the night before and so I just concentrated on the markers instead.

De Marker Wadden is een nieuw aangelegd natuurgebied in het Markermeer. Het bestaat momenteel uit 5 nieuw gevormde eilanden waarvan alleen het grootste eiland voor bezoekers toegankelijk is. Het ontstaan van nieuwe planten- en dierengemeenschappen is in de loop van de tijd heel goed te volgen. Je kunt er alleen komen met een boot, bij mijn bezoek was dat een prachtige driemaster.
