The Iron Age broch (stone tower) at Carloway, Outer Hebrides.
From Wikipedia:
Most brochs were built in the period from 100 BC to 100 AD. Dun Carloway was probably built in the 1st century AD.[1] It probably got its current name from the Norse Karlavagr ("Karl's bay"), a relic of its time as part of the Kingdom of the Isles. Through the centuries Dun Carloway remained in use until the floor level was too high due to build-up of the occupation layers.[2]
The broch was occasionally used in later times as a stronghold. The Morrisons of Ness put Dun Carloway into use in 1601. The story goes that they had stolen cattle from the MacAuleys of Uig. The MacAuleys wanted their cattle back and found the Morrisons in the broch. One of them, Donald Cam MacAuley, climbed the outer wall using two daggers and managed to smoke out the inhabitants by throwing heather into the broch and then setting fire to it.[3][4] The MacAuleys then destroyed the broch.[3]
Presumably in the 16th century the walls of the broch were still largely intact. By the middle of the 19th century a large portion of the top of the wall had disappeared, the stones being re-used in other buildings.[5] The situation in 1861 is shown in a drawing published in 1890 by Captain Thomas.[6] To prevent further decay Dun Carloway was in 1882 one of the first officially protected monuments in Scotland.[5] Five years later, the broch was placed under state management. Since then, restoration has been performed on the broch. At the beginning of the 20th century and in the 1970s there was limited archaeological excavation.[2]

The wild horses of the Outer Banks, known as Banker horses, are a breed of feral horse living on the barrier islands of North Carolina. They are descendants of domesticated Spanish horses brought to the Americas in the 16th century. These horses are recognized as North Carolina's state horse.
The turacos make up the bird family Musophagidae (literally "banana-eaters"), which includes plantain-eaters and go-away-birds. In southern Africa both turacos and go-away-birds are commonly known as loeries. They are semi-zygodactylous – the fourth (outer) toe can be switched back and forth. The second and third toes, which always point forward, are conjoined in some species. Musophagids often have prominent crests and long tails; the turacos are noted for peculiar and unique pigments giving them their bright green and red feathers.

Late autumn heading into early winter here in the northern hemisphere. There's a grittiness to the landscape now, accentuated by bare tree limbs and overall lack of foliage. The killing frost took care of that. The bareness of the earth brings with it a depletion of color that only adds to the feeling of inhospitality. There's a feeling that there's nowhere now to hide from the often wintry blasts that howl across open farmland. Yet somehow this is all very fitting. As much as I dislike winter I find this atmosphere strangely comforting. Every dreary cemetery scene my mind can conjure seems to now appear before me as a reality. The cold and darkness take a back seat to the excitement this causes me. A very strange duality of thought. Nothing about visiting cemeteries seems strange about. Any last vestige of that sort of thinking left me while still a teenager, if it even existed then. If there is any oddness with this behavior it's my fixation with standing on the boundary of the cemetery property gazing back at the outside world. It's not the same doing this from within the cemetery. For me it's all about getting right up to the edge, near the graves that form the boundary between the dead and the living. It's like standing over an unsee energy field. Like an invisible fence for dogs. Dunno. But standing here on this grim November day the energy field was wide open. I looked past the graves of people that died over a century ago. In the distance the remains of a cornfield that was harvested just a few days ago. The cycle of life and death so wonderfully manifested and in the shadow of that gnarly old tree. Late autumn heading into early winter and I'm right where I belong.

ET seems to have landed on a strange, hostile planet. Fortunately, he has his faithful plush lion to comfort him.

While doing a bit of night photography I decided to push the D3s a bit. Normally when taking Milky Way shots I use 6400 ISO. This image was taken at ISO 12800 for 30 sec. to gather as much light as possible. I did need to use a bit of noise reduction but there was considerably more detail in the sky than the similar image taken at ISO 6400 (see inside). Both images were taken for 30 sec. at f2.8.
Next stop ISO 102,400 but I'm afraid I will blow out the Milky Way! ;-)
