Google 'three men alive' and this is what comes up:
We seemed to stand for an endless while,
Though still no word was said,
Three men alive on Flannan Isle,
Who thought, on three men dead.
The famous poem is Flannan Isle by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson and tells the story of the mystery of the missing lighthouse keepers who vanished on one stormy night leaving an unfinished meal on the table.
Today the isles - there are several - are really inaccessible as the main landing has been damaged by storms and not repaired. You need a helicopter or more courage than me!
Gibson was evidently a bit of a 'stringer', in birder terminology:
"We saw three queer, black, ugly birds—
Too big, by far, in my belief,
For guillemot or shag—
Like seamen sitting bolt-upright
Upon a half-tide reef:
But, as we neared, they plunged from sight,
Without a sound, or spurt of white."
The birds were surely Shags, as seen in the photo.
A team of Scouts at the Tivoli games area work through a remote maze, where they must guide a suspended block through the maze while standing at the edges. It's harder than it looks.

"Still offering $100 reward for the bathroom artists". This was in a pool hall in Boulder CO. A week later this pic was taped to the mirror in the bathroom.

On our trek through the Sierra del Escambray we came upon this remote farm house where they keep some pigs and chickens.
The farmers here were very friendly, offering us some fruit they'd collected from the surrounding trees.
Stained Glass Window St Mary's Lastingham
Christianity was brought to Britain in the time of the Romans. When the Romans left, invading pagan Jutes, Saxons and Angles drove Christianity out to the remoter regions, where it survived until Irish missionaries reintroduced the faith to England, via Iona and then Lindisfarne. They established a number of monasteries for prayer, worship and teaching. One such monastery was founded here in AD 654, by St Cedd, ten years before the Synod of Whitby.
Whilst the first monastery church in Lastingham was almost certainly wooden, it is known that a stone church was built on this site in 725. However, the earliest parts of the current church, including the crypt, date from 1078.
A parish church since at least 1228, St Mary’s is famous for is unique apsidal crypt. The crypt was built possibly on or near the vicinity of the earlier 7th century structure and is thought to be part of the huge Benedictine Abbey planned by Stephen of Whitby in 1078. Evidence of this proposed abbey can be seen throughout the church structure. But sadly it was never completed, as Stephen abandoned the project, went to York and built St Mary’s Abbey there instead.
A major restoration was carried out in 1879 under the guidance of the eminent Victorian architect, JL Pearson RA, and the transverse arches and magnificent stone vaulted roof date from then.

Dancers’ expressions always captivate me, as they use their bodies to paint fantastical portraits of vivid emotion.
DeSIRE test flight on 24 April 2013.
The DeSIRE (Demonstration of Satellites enabling the Insertion of RPAS in Europe) demonstration project is a joint ESA-EDA initiative carried out by an international consortium led by Indra. It is aimed at demonstrating the safe insertion of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) in non-segregated airspace using satellites capabilities for RPAS command and control, ATC communications and Mission data transfer to ground, in order to satisfy the needs of potential user communities. The demonstration is carried out in Spain through several flights using a RPAS (Heron 1) providing airborne maritime surveillance services to the Spanish Users involved in the project.

Er ah, it is a tool, not a toy.
Early birthday present so I can be in the upcoming reunion huge family portrait on the beach on one of the Golden Isles of the Georgia Coast. (My camera has a 10 second self-timer that will not be nearly long enough for me to climb down the seawall and rocks between the camera and the mob of family on the beach.)
Plus, as I add years, my ability to safely take shots for low light, close-up and long telephoto situations is made easier with the combo of a tripod and a remote shutter release device.
When I was a kid the rule of thumb was 1/60 of a second was the slowest shutter speed to safely use for hand held shots. I could easily do 1/20th back then. Now 1/125th is a challenge.
Plus this little gizmo allows me to program combinations of delayed shutter release, multiple shots, bulb time exposures, and intervals between set numbers of shots.
I also got a 10 meter extension cable so I can be 30 feet of so from the camera and manually release the shutter.
(I am not being paid by Canon to promote this gizmo, but I am tickled to have it to play with – I mean it is a fine tool to use.)

A remote junkyard discovered in Belgium where the owner has amassed an extra-ordinary collection of old vehicles - mostly ex-military and mainly lorries and trucks, many of them from the Cold War era - that are now (2016) rusting and rotting away.
A couple of years ago, on another trip through Belgium, I'd set out to find another pinewood filled with rows of abandoned old cars, near a place called Chatillon, only to find that the entire site had been cleared a few years previously.
The discovery of this this yard - another "autofriedhof" as the Germans would call them - near the border with Luxembourg, was fair compensation for failing to get to Chatillon before everything there was sent to the crusher!
Two days ago we moved from a big quiet 4br house way out on Long Island into a tiny 1br apartment closer to NYC for a few months. Doesn't sound like much fun, but on the plus side there are some *pretty* decent views, which are even better from the roof of the place. So I went up there tonight and took some shots of the Empire State, the skyline, the Queensboro bridge, the subway, the traffic, and of course the trains. Mike Johannessen showed me his panning setup a year or two ago and although I don't have the gear, I thought I'd steal the idea on a few trains coming out of the East River tunnels and heading out onto Long Island or to Sunnyside for turning and stabling. Result: a few wobbly, dark, bad pics. Then this guy showed up - maybe he was transitioning from third rail to onboard diesel power because his pickup shoe made a big flash before he came slowly into view. Then he flashed just as I pushed the shutter which lit up the dark loco and everything - wow - did I get that? I like taking remote flash pictures, but this was the remotest one ever. Handheld 1 sec at f 3.2 ISO 160 200mm if you're taking notes!
