Yesterday, we ventured to visit the highest point in South England, which also happens to be the highest peak on Dartmoor. Our hike started at Row Tor, close to Okehampton. While the early morning was still overcast, we had some stunning views once we arrived at High Willhays. A beautifully remote part of Dartmoor!

Remote shooting, using Canon Camera Connect and Canon R6 eye focusing.
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.
The huemul buck crossed the the Estero Mallines O Paso las Mulas somewhat downstream of the doe and stopped to look at the camera and say goodbye before he disappeared into the bush with the doe. Patagonia, Chile.

Evening cruise along perhaps the most beautiful coastline in the world, complete with a rainbow off the north edge.
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 possibilities of an internet connection will very remote during few weeks, so please do not be offended if I do not comment you work at this very moment.
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.
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!

It does look better
Being in denial about the end of summer but here is my first autumn shot. I feel slightly diffident about autumn photographs as my contacts from North America post such stunning ones. Autumn in England is a more muted affair. Still they cannot include a monastery from the middle ages in their shots so perhaps it balances out
Rievaulx Abbey was founded in 1132 by twelve monks from Clairvaux Abbey as a mission centre for the colonisation of the north of England and Scotland. It was the first Cistercian abbey in the north. With time it became one of the great Cistercian abbeys of Yorkshire, second only to Fountains Abbey in fame.
The remote location was ideal for the Cistercians, whose desire was to follow a strict life of prayer and self-sufficiency with as little contact as possible with the outside world.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY
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.

Enveloped in remote Northern Ontario forest, an ONR ballast extra makes it's presence known with the venerable GMD SD40-2 putting on quite the performance. Just like when the '40 was fresh out of the shops in London a caboose brings up the tail.

The remote Gallan Head on the west coast of Lewis has a unique atmosphere and is home to a community project, following the departure of the RAF a number of years ago and the opening up of the peninsula. From the website: "Gallan Head is a high promontory on the Isle of Lewis in the Western Isles of Scotland, and is the most North-Westerly point of Britain.
It is a piece of land of strange beauty and a powerful spiritual energy, with fantastic views of historical islands and landscape features in a great sweeping arc around it. From its highest point there is a 360 degree view of all the surrounding sea, wildlife, islands and land, and at night – dark, unpolluted skies afford vast astronomical potential.
It is here that we hope, in a few years, to open an observatory, for both wildlife and sea watching and the many phenomena of the heavens, housed in a specially designed building which will add to, rather than detract from the natural landscape. This will be known at the Cetus Project – listening to whales in the sea and watching the constellation Cetus in the night sky. This project has the enthusiastic support of the Stornoway Astronomical Society and John Brown, the Astronomer Royal for Scotland, who has become patron of the project."

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.

In January 2015, the City of Broken Hill was included on the National Heritage Register. This register lists 106 other iconic landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Kakadu National Park, and the Australian Alps. Broken Hill is the first city to be listed. Extensive research and consultation with the Broken Hill community was a key part of the listing.
The National Heritage List is Australia’s pre-eminent heritage list recognising and protecting the nation’s most valued natural, indigenous, and historic heritage sites. Listing is the highest heritage honour in Australia and listed placed receive national attention and benefits from increased domestic and international tourism. Broken Hil has been assessed against the nine National Heritage Criteria, which include historic, aesthetic, and social values, creative and technical achievements, associations with significant peoples, and others.
The following is the Statement of Significance for the City of Broken Hill which was prepared as part of the listing process:
“The City of Broken Hill has outstanding significance to the nation for its role in creating enormous wealth, for its long, enduring and continuing mining operations, and the community’s deep and shared connection with Broken Hill as the isolated city in the desert, its outback landscape, the planned design and landscaping of the town, the regeneration areas and particularly the physical reminders of its mining origins such as the Line of Lode, the barren mullock heaps, tailings, skimps and slagheap escarpment and relict structures. It exhibits historic qualities in its ongoing mining operations since 1883, the current and relict mining infrastructure and its landscape setting. It is significant for its industrial past ….. together with its role as a pioneer in setting occupational health and safety standards.”
“It demonstrates the principal characteristics of a mining town in a remote location with extensive transport infrastructure and administrative connections to three state capitals and as a rare example of a place subject to Australia’s complex Federal system where differing administrative, social and economic influences are expressed in both tangible and intangible forms. It has social significance for its residents as a place of community pride, endurance, and as a remote mining community resilient to major social and economic change, Broken Hill has strong social significance for all Australians as a place where great wealth was created, as well as strong group associations with the Barrier Industrial Council. It exhibits outstanding aesthetic characteristics as a city in an arid desert setting, as the subject of interest for Australian artists, poets, film makers, TV producers and photographers.”
“It has significance as a place where outstanding technical achievement has occurred in refining ore for its minerals including the froth flotation process and the computer controlled on-stream analysis of slurries. Broken Hill is also important as a place of research potential to reveal further information on mineral deposits with its range of complex minerals. It is associated with person of great importance to Australia’s history, including Albert Morris (arid land regeneration), Charls Rasp (discoverer), Herbert Hoover (mining engineer), WL Baillieu, WA Robinson and MAE Mawby (industrialists), GD Delprat (metallurgist), Percy Brookfield and Eugene O’Neill (unionists). Broken Hill’s association with the Barrier Industrial Council as a group is also important.”
“The Broken Hill zinc-lead-silver ore deposit is one of the world’s largest ore bodies and contains an extraordinary array of minerals. It is geologically complex and has national scientific significance. The Broken Hill operation is significant for its immense size and unrecorded mineral species continue to be found. It contributes to an understanding of the formation of the Australian continent and more than 2, 300 million years of the earth’s history.”
The City of Broken Hill is delighted that the special heritage values of the city are recognised and celebrated nationally and internationally by this listing.
Wilyakali Country:
Wilyakali lies in the east of the state of South Australia, crossing into New South Wales, including the town of Broken Hill. The Wilyakali people traditionally visited the Paakantji people on the Menindee Lakes in the Darling Riverine Plains Bioregion each year.
The three Major language groups for the Broken Hill Region are the Paakantji, Mayyankapa, and Nyiimpaa.
Wilyakali and Danggali both lie east of the Ngadjuri language and north of the upper River Murray languages.
Wilyakali and Danggali are part of the Darling River Language Group or Paakantyi / Paakantji language group. This is a group of closely related languages in South Australia and New South Wales, which can be subdivided into two groups: the “Northern Dialects” and the “Southern Dialects.” Wilyakali and Danggali are both part of the “Southern Dialects.”
Other “Southern Dialects” include Pulaali, Southern Pankantyi, Pantyikali, Wanyuparlku and Marrawarra. Some of these languages have been recorded more than others. Although each language has its own distinguishing features, they are so similar they can be understood by speakers of other languages in this group. Therefore, the following reference list will include Southern Paakantyi references that may be helpful. The language name is noted in square brackets after each reference, when known.
Today the Wilyakali people are still the main Aboriginal group in Broken Hill, though there are a number of Aboriginal people that come from other language groups.
The Aboriginal people of Broken Hill have established working parties to pursue their vision of a better future. They continue to look after their traditional lands and are joint managers of the Mutawintji National Park which is the first national park handed back to the traditional owners in New South Wales. There are many strong elders who continue to maintain and pass on their traditional knowledge to their young people and, today, share their stories with the wider community.

This morning on Skye was one to remember. I was going to title this image 'My favorite morning', but I decided that was too specific. The changing light throughout the sunrise was special, yet as I remembered other sunrises on Skye; two gorgeous sunrises at The Old Man of Storr and several colourful sunrises in the Quiraing I could put this morning among my favorites but not THE favorite. Actually I'm hoping my favorite morning on Skye is one that has yet to happen. But here is some background on one of my favorite mornings on Skye . . .
As it was September, the alarm before sunrise was at a more sensible time than during my May visits to Skye. A glance out the window, where the skies seemed to have potential, had me in the car for a quick drive to the Quiraing. I enjoyed the drive from Kilmuir to the Quiraing parking with never seeing another car on the single lane road. Leaving the car in the empty parking area I headed along the path to begin setting up for sunrise. This was a very enjoyable morning at the Quiraing with the constantly changing views. The low clouds would move over the ridge hiding and then revealing various portions of the ridge, while simultaneously the light would shift highlighting sections of the ridge. I remained in place and enjoyed the morning from this location.
From my location at the Quiraing this was the view of the Trotternish Ridge, visible is Cnòc a Mhèrlich, Cleat while Bioda Buidhe is barely discernible in the cloud cover. In this image the shifting light is only highlighting the base of Cleat and portions of Cnòc a Mhèrlich. In the distance the sunlight can be seen highlighting the clouds that are hiding the Trotternish Ridge On the far right of the image is a curve of the Staffin-Uig road as it climbs the Trotternish Ridge.
Those interested in seeing how the shifting light changed that morning can view the Shifting Light Series album where the images are in chronologically order.
Kuntivaara Finland, a remote hill close to the Russian border accessible by either a long hike through the snow or the easier option of a snowmobile. We spent the whole day up here in temperature down to -30c at sunset where many peoples cameras and lenses finally started to freeze up, luckily there is a nice little hut where you can take a rest and warm up on the fire.

One of the real highlights of my recent trip was a visit to the remote and historical village of Khinaliq. This settlement stands at an altitude of seven and a half thousand feet and is said to be almost five thousand years old. A road was finally driven into this village in 2006 and prior to that date transport would have been on horseback for all those who needed to venture to the outside world. Khinaliq is still some distance, perhaps a hour and a half from the nearest town by motor vehicle and that is over a very basic stretch of tarmac.
Since I returned I have watched the Bettany Hughes documentary on Treasures of Azerbaijan and it was no surprise that she visited this location. It seems that the occupants of the three hundred properties speak their own language and in the most part are more than content with their remote lifestyle. We had a broken conversation with a young lad who had gone away to the big city to study but had returned on the day of our visit. He was happy to try his English out on me and advised that all youths do the same as him. They are brought up in the village, go away to be educated and then return back to the village.
By way of a geographical explanation, the huge mountains in the background are part of the High Caucus and are over the border in Russia. In the foreground some of the village elders are seen having a catch up.
Not as remote as some but remote enough.
'The Iron Pot is a small flat sandstone island with an area of 1.27 ha in south-eastern Australia. It is part of the Betsey Island Group, lying close to the south-eastern coast of Tasmania around the entrance to the River Derwent. It is the site of Iron Pot Lighthouse Tasmania's first lighthouse.'
