While many people around the world are now watching their gardens grow and looking ahead to harvest time - we in remote Alaska are watching the grasses on the forest floor change from summer greens, to browns, as they wither away and die. A sure sign that we are in the early stages of autumn. (Best viewed large)
I like the following descriptive quote regarding fall . . .
“It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.”
― Sarah Addison Allen
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.
Icebergs, icefields, red sedementary rocks and a small glacier in Rodefjord, Scoresby Sund, East Greenland. The red sedimentary rock adds colour to this barren land and the beautiful clear light and low humidity makes everything pop.

We met him on a day trek through the meadows in Kashmir. He had to get his sick sheep to a medical camp in Yusmarg, a few hours of walk away. Medical camps are set up once a month (in the summer months) in places like Yusmarg, which are accessible by road. People - and their animals from the surrounding remote villages walk down all the way to attend these camps.

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.
Seyðisfjörður is a remote fisherman village in the far east of Iceland. It is accessible by a mountain pass road that is open only in summer. We traveled by night to get good light for photography, and slept in the morning. We arrived at the picturesque town at around 3:30 in the early morning for sunrise. The center has a nice colorful footpath with shops on both sides. OPIÐ means open.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

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.

The wonderful beach at Luskentyre (it was my brother who suggested that this looks like a very remote drugs deal :))
For a blog of my trip to the Outer Hebrides:
America Black Bear of North Carolina
There are three species of bears in North America—the Polar Bear, Brown Bear (Grizzly), and Black Bear. The Black Bear is the only species found in North Carolina or anywhere in the eastern United States and is an important part of our cultural, historical and natural heritage.
In North Carolina, the Black Bear is usually black with a brown muzzle and sometimes a white patch on its chest. Bears have five toes on each foot, with sharp curved claws that help them climb trees and feed on insects and grubs in decaying logs. Black Bears rely mostly on their sense of smell and hearing due to their average (similar to humans’) eyesight, but are adept at climbing, running, swimming and digging. They can run as fast as 35 miles per hour!
Before Europeans came to the New World, Black Bears lived in all forested regions of North America and were abundant in North Carolina. However, Black Bears were often killed by early settlers to protect their families, crops and livestock. In time, bears across the state were also impacted by habitat loss from agricultural development and clear-cutting. By the mid-1900s, bears were only found in the most remote mountains and coastal swamps of our state. Then in the 1920s, the American chestnut blight (a tree-killing fungus) hit the Mountain Region, destroying the most important nut-producing tree for bears. As a result, bear populations suffered.
However, thanks to science-based management and bear sanctuaries, Black Bears have made a remarkable recovery in population and range. Black Bear expansion has occurred naturally as bears have moved into suitable habitats. As of 2012, there were approximately 17,000 bears in the state, occupying 61% of the state’s total land area.

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.

This image was captured while I was out and about in the ole Jeep, weaving through cornfields, on a trip to the town of Mt. Orab, OH.
I drive this route often, and for reasons I can't explain, this small section of Ohio farmland continually yields truly beautiful skyscapes and wonderful cloud formations that the firmament just a few miles away never seems to match. I can't figure it, so I just enjoy it and try to always have the camera with me when traveling through this area.

It was a sad and disappointing day when Henry discovered the Universal Remote Control did not, in fact, control the Universe!
A remote 13th Century grade 1 listed medieval sailors chapel named Eglwys y Grog ( Church of the Holy Cross). It has had various restorations over the centuries.
There is a track down the cliff to the beach.
Partway out to Mullach na Dheiragain from Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan. MnD is the darker peak along the ridge in the middle-distance. (Carn Eige and Mam Sodhail are the peaks to the right). This felt like a long out-and-back walk in a VERY remote place, made all the more fun by the twisty rocky path over intervening summit Carn na Con Dhu.
A 28 mile day in total. 14 on bike (cycle in and back; Loch Affric car park along the loch's south shore to the Allt Coire Ghaidheil bridge approx 1.6 miles beyond Strawberry Cottage) and 14 on foot - hike up to Bealach Coire Ghaidheil, over An Socach to Sg nan C'nan, out to MnD and back, cut across Coire nan Dearcag, down to Alltbeithe Youth Hostel and walk back to bike. Do-able in a single day; I think it was around 11 hours. Fantastic journey into a remote area.. but tiring!
Those who think that Iceland’s been ruined by tourists just need to venture further north. the land of otherworldly vistas, air travel-disrupting volcanoes and polite, stylish Vikings – already feels remote.
In Westfjords, a lonely peninsula that juts out like a thumb into the Denmark Strait toward Greenland, it seems even more so. Here the weather can change in a heartbeat – sunny afternoons quickly swallowed by icy winds and low clouds filled with fat snowflakes.
It’s six hours by road from Reykjavik, the Icelandic capital, but be warned: Driving the twisting routes of Westfjord’s wind- and snow-whipped mountain passes can be hair-raising.
For those who make the journey (a four-wheel-drive vehicle is recommended, as is a sense of adventure) the region’s natural features, eating options and activities are worth the white-knuckle ride. the photo was taken by Dynjandi waterfall

Those who think that Iceland’s been ruined by American tourists just need to venture further north. Vestfirðir in the Westfjords are the part of Iceland that looks (when you look at a map of the country) a little like the antlers of a reindeer. With its endless fjords and coves, this is not an area for fast traveling My 500 link 500px.com/yiannispavlis
