The Plaxton Derwent bodied Tyne Valley bus behind had transported me from Hexham to here at Bellingham and now that dubious looking thing in front belonging to Northern Garage was to transport me on to Kielder. July 1983.
From where I sit at this moment, Orkney seems so remote. It's easy to forget that it sits just off John o' Groats and was a bit of Scotland nibbled away and submerged at the end of the Last Glacial Period. Prior to that, the lowered sea levels left Doggerland high and dry — a convenient stepping stone for humans to repopulate Britain from the rest of Europe. Yes, I've been to the very north of the archipelago, to North Ronaldsay. Today I'm away to South Ronaldsay — ironically juxtaposed at opposite ends from its northern namesake. This won't take me to Orkney's most southerly isle, Stroma, which to be honest has less water between it and Scotland that it has between itself and the rest of Orkney.
Here's a reminder of how compact these islands are. This is the northern tip of Glimps Holm looking back across Lamb Holm to Mainland. By now I've crossed two of the causeways constructed as navigation barriers in WWII. There are what appears to be military installations, there on the cliffs of Lamb Holm. In the middleground lie relics of the block ships sunk here early in WWI. I think this was the SS Numidian, an almost 5000 ton steel hulled steamer scuttled here on 30 December 1914. She was sunk in the company of SS Aorangi, SS Thames and SS Minieh with, I think, Numidian in the shallow water near this spot. I could be wrong. If you need a better answer there's a kind of trainspotters' guide to the wrecks of Scapa Flow.
Orkney is so user-friendly. It's a small place, compact, packed to the gunwales with history; so much that with sea level rise its, Plimsoll line is in peril of disappearing beneath the waves. Getting about is quick and easy; all that and it has a village named Twatt.

Coyote Buttes South. Arizona...
One of the last truly amazing remote places in the American Southwest...

For those of you interested, here is a Panorama I made to show the vast expanse of this area... It was taken from atop a Butte in the same vicinity as this shot.

This is one of those cheap "ebay" remote flash triggers. I had to fix it as the using the canon 430ex it goes nuts flashing at random. To fix, simply get some tin/aluminum foil the length of the compartment next to the battery and beside aerial (its the long brass wire coming of the circuit board). You need to make it wide enough so you can bend it over the channel selector. once you have you done this, simply cover it in tape so that you don't short anything. Then put it in place. That's it. 5 minutes tops and it works.... Had it running for 30 minutes and no random flashes...simple as...
Sheep grazing along the Pangong Lake Road on the way to Pangong Lake, Ladakh.
Ladakh ("land of high passes") is a region in the Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir that currently extends from the Kunlun mountain range to the main Great Himalayas to the south, inhabited by people of Indo-Aryan and Tibetan descent. It is one of the most sparsely populated regions in Jammu and Kashmir and its culture and history are closely related to that of Tibet. Ladakh is renowned for its remote mountain beauty and culture.
Historically, the region included the Baltistan (Baltiyul) valleys (now mostly in Pakistan), the entire upper Indus Valley, the remote Zanskar, Lahaul and Spiti to the south, much of Ngari including the Rudok region and Guge in the east, Aksai Chin in the northeast (extending to the Kun Lun Mountains), and the Nubra Valley to the north over Khardong La in the Ladakh Range. Contemporary Ladakh borders Tibet to the east, the Lahaul and Spiti regions to the south, the Vale of Kashmir, Jammu and Baltiyul regions to the west, and the southwest corner of Xinjiang across the Karakoram Pass in the far north.

This train has been remote control in the Control Center. Since there is no driver's seat, forefront passenger's seats are very popular with children.

この電車はコントロールセンターで遠隔操作されています。 運転席がないので、先頭の客席は子供たちに大人気です。

Life runs around remote controls and I hate the things!

More photos from our annual visit to Bird Island | Seychelles - a privately owned, remote, coral sand cay island situated in the Indian Ocean just south of the equator, some 1200km off the East African coast - the northernmost island of the Seychelles archipelago.
Curlew Sandpiper (Calidris ferruginea)
An elegant little sandpiper – generally pale grey above and white below, with the male turning mottled black, white and rufous with rich brick-red face, neck and underparts when in full breeding plumage. Breeds in Artic Siberia, wintering mainly on the coasts of sub-Saharan Africa, Arabia, India, South East Asia and Australia. This bird is another annual migrant throughout the islands of the Seychelles. Mainly seen on the shore, but often feeds inland on the short grass in front of the chalets or on the airstrip.
Finally I set up the Canon Camera Connect app on my phone to do some remote shooting. I set up the tripod close to the bird feeder and watched from the kitchen while washing up the dishes. It seemed there was a delay of half a second but I managed to get this shot.
Ashridge Estate
This house is set back quite a way into the woods. I like the way the garden and hedging merges in with the surrounding forest. The little old lady that lived here kindly invited us in for some gingerbread but sadly we didn’t have the time
