Mekhoro are the traditional round houses that are common in Lesotho. The walls are usually made of bricks that are held together with a mixture of sand, soil and dung. The floor consists of a smooth, compact layer of dung and the roof is usually thatched.
Here, a Mosotho man sits in front of his house with a bucket of home-brewed beer in a small village in Botha-Bothe, a rural area in northeastern Lesotho. The remote villages in Lesotho are still very self-sufficient and people are dependent on barter to survive. Colored flags attached to huts or poles indicate that something is being offered, such as meat (red flag), vegetables (green flag) or home-brewed beer (white or yellow flag).
The man dressed in red is a Sangoma, a traditional healer. Traditional healers enjoy great prestige and power in the Basotho culture. They play an important role in health care, but also in performing various rituals. Sangomas are ascribed all sorts of magical powers, such as seeing the future and the ability to talk to ancestors.
This is Will sitting on a bench on a snowy 'beach' out at the far end of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. Despite the fact we visited in June there was still a lot of snow about.
trendy phrases always take a ride
along the boulevard of fashionable pride
sometimes your up
sometimes you down
what's old today
is new tomorrow
and so it goes
but remote learning
where did that start
a phrase so hip
who can tell it apart
from caves of old
where drawings grew cold
on darkened walls
a thousand years old
so when it's happening
and teachers are proud
just remember
the human race wasn't born in december
no indeed
learning can be said
to have happened as
soon Eve ate that apple
and found out
that learning was now remote
without the King
without Him
now we were meant
to learn
to pray
to hope for a better day
a better way.
The rangers houses in the far disatance nestling among the trees have a long way to go for a pint of milk!!
Leaving Glen Lui this view is towards its far end, with the lower snow covered slopes of Ben MacDui, the UK's second highest peak standing at 1309 meters (4295 feet), to the left, and Derry Cairngorm standing at 1155 meters (3789 feet) to the right. The path I'm following is rather boggy, but foruntately strewn with boulders, which reaches the high pass getting me into Glen Derry and the Lairig Ghru.
My favorite shot from early this morning and therefore my second ever attempt at shooting the Milky Way galactic core. By the time I shot this one "astro dark" had given way to "civil twilight" but I rather like the resulting tones, even if the core was a bit less visible. The light pollution is from Reno Nevada I believe as this shot was captured in the western Nevada desert, not far from the California line. Decent start for a nightscape noob, if I say so myself :)
Graphium antiphates pompilius (Fabricius, 1787) Photo taken in a remote region of Arunachal Pradesh, Northeast India.
Taken from above Altnaharra C@M club site from one of the remains of a building forcibly abandoned during the "clearances". Below by the Loch is the remote but beautifully located camp site.
The monument comprises the extensive remains of the settlement of Grummore, occupied at least as early as 1726 and cleared in 1819. The majority of the monument was scheduled in 1962, but this re-scheduling adjusts the boundaries to take account of better mapping now available and also of recent changes in land use beside Loch Naver.

The photographers were stood well away watching the mist beginning to lift on Derwent Water in the Lake District National Park. They were operating the cameras on remote control as the sun was just beginning to have an impression on the mist.
Derwent Water is one of the principal bodies of water in the Lake District National Park, measuring approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) long by 1 mile (1.6 km) wide and is some 72 feet (22 m) deep.
A thread of water in a broad river valley in late summer reflects the snow-covered mountains in Milne Land, Scoresby Sund, Greenland. A small receding glacier had deposited a large scree field fanning out from its terminus.

To travel to the remote Kimberly region of north west Australia, one of the worlds last frontiers, is an adventure in itself. This is a reflective shot I took from a zodiac meandering through the mangroves in late fall (southern hemisphere). The rock formations in the Kimberly were deposited up to 1.75 billion years ago by major river systems that flowed from north to south across the whole region.
Those of you who looked at yesterday's post saw a Coyote from September, still wearing its sleek summer coat. This one, from two years ago, is decked out for winter: thicker fur, in which she can withstand the coldest weather. Of course, at 40 below she will probably sleep a lot, curled up in her cozy den in some remote hillside or embankment.

The last time I showed you a waterfall was 15th November 2019 😯
Since they are one of my favorite subjects to photograph I had to change that quickly 😄 So here you go, one of the most remote yet beautiful waterfalls Europe has to offer!
Inch strand, Dingle Peninsula, Co Kerry, Ireland.

A half-drunken walk through the vacant streets of Greybull, Wyoming on a cool December night led us to the north end of the BNSF yard. The sodium-vapor lamps cast a warm glow on this pair of EMDs kicking cars under remote operation, getting everything in order for the following day’s locals. Not expecting anyone to be in the cab, we were a bit shocked when a conductor walked down the steps, startled at our presence. My friend proceeded to offer him a cigarette, to which he happily obliged. He was a good sport. Most folks in Greybull were. Despite railfanning seemingly being an alien concept to them, their initial suspicion turned to genuine friendly curiosity, particularly the Bighorn County Sheriff’s deputies who we encountered four times in the span of two days. Leave it to the railfanning hobby to take you to the places that nobody else ever thinks to visit. Acquaintances will get back from a vacation and regale me with tales of visiting New York City, Disney World, and the like. I always get strange looks when I tell them that I spent my vacation in a place like Greybull, Wyoming, Keokuk, Iowa, or Trona, California. Wouldn’t have it any other way, though. Greybull, WY, 12/16/2025.
The mist was rising off the creek, which created areas of soft focus amongst an otherwise crisp shot. 20171210BullCreekPsDxoLr4
A remote hilltop church in the mountains of Samos, Greece, with commanding views of the surrounding area and the Aegean Sea.
A vivid floatplane cuts across the open sky above Alaska’s coastal wilderness, its bright fuselage contrasting against layered blues and deep evergreen forests. Snow-capped peaks rise beyond the fjord, partially veiled by low, drifting clouds that trace the contours of the mountains. The still, steel-blue water in the foreground anchors the scene, emphasizing the scale and isolation of the landscape.
The image captures a defining element of life in remote Alaska—aviation as a lifeline—set against a vast, untamed backdrop that conveys both serenity and rugged grandeur.

Ci sono momenti, all'alba, in cui si vede nettamente il confine fra il regno del sole e quello delle ombre. Le nuvole sospese nel mezzo di due mondi, sembrano la porta per entrare in un mondo fatto di sola luce.

The Rio Grande forms the international border between the United States of America to the north, and Mexico to the south. This is the very remote section of the Rio Grande located in Big Bend National Park in the state of Texas, with the United States being to the left of the river as viewed in this image. It is quiet and peaceful and just out of view to the right of this image, is the one small, private boat which acts as a ferry to carry those who wish to cross into the village of Boquillas. A fascinating story here....see the text on my image, Boquillas Crossing in this photo stream.
DC-3 under the Milky Way in a remote Kansas field.
This image was put together in 2 stages. First was a photo at 14mm, F2.8, ISO 2500, 30 sec exposure for the sky. Then I left tripod and camera in place until about an hour before sunrise. At that point, the shadows from floodlights dissipate and I can drop my ISO way down to get a clean image of the grass and plane. Then merge the two in photoshop.
Last sun rays over Sveinstindur in the deep highland area of Iceland called Langisjór.
This is one of the many places we visit on our summer highland tours. Check out: Photo Tour.
