Here’s another sunset image from a hike last month. I had originally skipped over it because I thought the horizon was too centered but today decided I could break that rule.
I was lying on a rickety, wooden jetty, in a remote place, looking down into the sea, and watching the marine algae swaying around.
My much used remote to trigger the camera shutter from a distance.

Everytime I look at this photo I would like to take a seat to watch and feel the elements. Lanzarote 2022.
Imagine, living on a tiny, remote island, surrounded by sea water, and mountains that blocked out the sun........how ecstatic you would be when the sun finally climbs high enough to peep over the mountain top and spread a few warming rays down on your little island.
It's been dark for so long, fog or heavy rain laden clouds, overcast. weeks and weeks, no sun. Very short days.
I was out yesterday, after the fog lifted and saw the sun briefly but noticed that in many places the sun didn't even get above the tree tops. Where it did it was beautiful. Not long to the winter solstice now and we can start to look forward to longer days again. And pray for something better.

Remember the days where the city was bustling with people and activity? These days it’s rather more isolated and remote… In some sense, this is the new remote ways of working.

I wanted to say a few words about this capture.
First of all, modeling with me is my very good friend Enanito Verde. Unfortunately Enanito wasn't able to continue on this platform after Flickr enforced their drastic policies this past spring and we lost his wonderful work here. However, you can still see his creations at Enanito Verde on Slushe and Enanito Verde on Twitter. Thank you so much Enanito. You're awesome babes!♥
Secondly, I have to confess that this one's not totally my brainchild. I actually ran across the artwork that inspired this one over a year ago. And when I wanted to do something comical for the Holst & Holst Gallery I thought of it, but I could not find it anywhere. I knew I'd saved it but I could not find it. I was able to remember enough about it to create my own version of it with a little twist that I thought was cute and funny.
So as I was about to post it this morning, I decided to try to find the original image one more time, and I found it! That said, I'm posting a link to a gyazo I made of the original. I do not know the artist's work really. I'm sure someone here may. I like the image though. Cheers!♥

The El Molo are believed to have originally migrated down into the Turkana Basin around 1000 BC from Ethiopia in the more northerly Horn region. Owing to the arid environment in which they entered, they are held to have then abandoned agricultural activities in favor of lakeside fishing. Today primarily inhabit the northern Eastern Province of Kenya. They are concentrated in Marsabit District on the southeast shore of Lake Turkana, between El Molo bay and Mount Kulal. According to the 2019 Kenya census, there were 1,104 El Molo residents. However, historians have noted that there are few "pure" El Molo left. Most group members are today admixed with adjacent Nilotic populations, primarily Samburu, with only a handful of unmixed El Molo believed to exist. Many El Molo speakers have also adopted cultural customs from these communities. In 1994, only eight people reportedly could still speak El Molo.
I took this in 1983, when I went on 7 day trip on The Turkana Bus, a Bedford Truck billed as "the roughest bus ride in the world". The bus would leave Nairobi on a Saturday, go to the eastern shore of Lake Turkana and back to Nairobi Friday evening.

After some steep climbing we reach the upper slopes of Carn an Fhidhleir and look back down Glen Geldie from which we've come. This image gives a sense of how remote this place really is. On the right are the slopes of An Sgarsoch, which we'll be climbing next, while in the distance, to give a scale, the ruins of Geldie Lodge can just be made out. The mountains to the left are the southern Cairngorms.
Carn an Fhidhleir (pronounced Carn an Ealer) means the 'Rocky Hill of the Fiddler' and stands at 994 meters (3261 feet), while An Sgarsoch, meaning 'The Place of Sharp Rocks' is slightly higher at 1006 meters (3300 feet). These Munro's rank amongst the remotest in Scotland, lying as they do in a vast roadless region with long approaches from any direction. Our epic day sees us cycing 7.5 miles up Glen Geldie, hiking the 11.5 mile circuit of the 2 mountains, then the return cycle takes the total mileage up to 26.5 miles.

So remote that I can't remember exactly where this is! I think that it is probably in Lunedale on the B6276 between Brough and Middleton-in-Teesdale, but I could easily be wrong!
It was certainly wild countryside even on a relatively nice day of sunshine and showers. It must be so bleak in the depths of winter.
