Looking North West across the top of the North Pennines in Northumberland, north of Derwent Reservoir. Felt pretty remote, especially with the low cloud.

I'm leaving for a short trip to a gorgeous country. A fellow flickrite has kindly accepted to accompany me and we will meet a unique flickr personality there :)
Take care
Beautiful pasque flowers gone to seed and Image Lake awaken to a rosy sunrise underneath Washington's most remote volcanic peak, known by the Suak Indian Tribe as "Tda-ko-buh-ba", but also known as Glacier Peak. This location in the Glacier Peak Wilderness comes as close to heaven on earth as anything my imagination can possibly conjure up. Looking out across the meadow and lake to Glacier Peak one feels the pure essence of a wilderness area, an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by people, and where we are just visitors who cannot remain in a place of such unspoiled beauty. Image Lake is not very accessible and I approached the lake as part of an extended 7 day backpacking trip with the Sierra Club. Our route took us up and over Spyder Gap's Lyman Glacier, scrambling down into the Lyman Lake Basin, up and over Cloudy Pass, over to Image Lake, and out through Flower Dome and Buck Creek Pass-about a 60 mile loop trip including side trips.
Western pasqueflower, or Anemone occidentalis has a less than showy bloom but you won’t miss the next stage, which resembles a fuzzy mop of hair. An early bloomer, the seed pods last all summer on mountain slopes and meadows in middle to high elevations.

Some find the road out west on Ardnamurchan pretty intimidating. But turn on to the little roads that lead out to the lighthouse at the end, or to the heavenly white sand beach at Sanna, and the road becomes even more of an adventure. However park your car at the side of the road and head off into the crater of the ancient Ardnamurchan volcano and things become a whole lot more desolate and remote. Over a hill and far away, where there has never been electricity or a road, and you find a place called Glendrian, Glendryen, Glendrain....all of them, where there was once a thriving crofting community. And it's site is now a Scheduled Monument giving Guardian readers and amazing insight into what post-Brexit Britain would look like.
Glendrian is a depopulated settlement of post-medieval date. It is located on the Ardnamurchan Peninsular on the West Coast of Scotland, situated within a ring of hills forming the caldera of the former volcanic crater of Ben Hiant. The exceptional preservation of the settlement remains, including cruck-slots within house walls, led to the scheduling of the settlement, which is considered to be of regional and national importance.
Settlement at Glendrian was first documented in the early 17th century, in 1618, when 8 families were recorded living there. From 1723, the population grew, jumping from 29 people to 39 in 1841 and 47 in 1861. The census records show a decrease in the population after this however, and it was during the mid-19th century that the smaller townships on the Ardnamurchan peninsular, including Glendrian, were cleared for larger sheep farms. The population fell to 20 in 1881 and 11 in 1901. By the 1930s, only two houses were occupied, and by the 1940s, the settlement was completely deserted.
Glendrian does not appear on Roy’s Military Maps of 1747-55, but it does appear on Bald’s map of 1806, on which it comprised 17 buildings, two enclosures, fields and walls. By the time of the 1st Edition OS 6 Inch map of 1876, three unroofed buildings, 17 roofed buildings, 6 enclosures and field systems were present. More buildings were depicted as unroofed on the 1896 2nd Edition OS 6 inch map, with only 8 roofed. A walkover survey was undertaken in 2011 in advance of a bracken control programme and this revealed many more features than mapped however, including previously unrecorded shielings, enclosures and boundaries. A total of 43 individual features were identified; more than half of these related to use of the landscape and transhumance including areas of rig and furrow cultivation and boundary walls, but the rest were structures and features associated directly with the post-medieval settlement, including houses, a revetted spring, a sheep fank and numerous enclosures.
Although a walkover survey does not record sufficient detail for a full assessment and discussion of sites, at Glendrian, it did discover clear evidence of modification and development through time to the settlement. Houses were of varied style and contained evidence for different phases. For example, some buildings had clearly had extensions and additional rooms attached to the pre-existing structures, and the construction of fireplaces within some of the houses were likely related to the latest phase of use. Additionally, the boundary walls and enclosures were all of drystone construction, but these construction techniques varied and these structures also exhibited characteristics of modification.
The level of preservation at Glendrian is considered to be exceptional, especially when compared to similar types of settlements in the Highlands, as most do not usually preserve evidence of modification and phasing through time. In light of this, the site represents a valuable resource into understanding the changes that took place in post-medieval settlement and economy in the Highlands during the 18th and 19th centuries, and a closer study of the architecture of Glendrian would allow for an interesting study into vernacular Highland settlements.
A grim discovery on our hike in remote parts of Dartmoor last Sunday. The bones most likely belonged to a cow (or maybe a Dartmoor pony? Not too sure).
Here's something from long ago on a special day when I rode the snow fleet up to Tunnel Section deep in the wilds of the Chugach Mountains. This is what I wrote when I first shared this long ago.
The "snow fleet" is climbing slowly up the nearly 2.2% grade enroute to tunnel with Jordan Spreader #7 leading, trailed by two geeps and a depressed center flat car loaded with a CAT. To the left can be seen the south portal of the 310 ft Tunnel they exited moments earlier. This little tunnel at MP 51.9 is the southern most of five in short succession. Immediately south of the tunnel's portal is the 160 ft long Placer River bridge, a portion of which is also visible spanning the deep gorge. This is one of the most remote and wildly scenic pieces of the entire Alaska Railroad.
The work train crew is heading south up hill toward the site of the massive slide near MP49 in the famous "loop district" that buried a northbound freight out of Seward nearly a week prior. The excavator with the custom designed snow bucket is on its way to continue the arduous task of extracting flat cars from a tomb of snow.
Here's a news story from back then: www.adn.com/alaska-news/article/one-avalanche-hits-freigh...

Long Point Light stands at the very end of the long curling arm of sand at the tip of the Cape. It's the most remote lighthouse on mainland Cape Cod.
(Look closely, you can see several sunset revelers way out at the very end of the spit.)

I Tasted the Sweet Nectar of Sunlight on a Morning Day
The wind sang a symphony through the leaves of a forest nearby
The mountains stood to give an ovation for those attending
And the birds gave their flight formation in the skies above.
Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one morning looking from an overlook into Chugach State Park. That morning was definitely the start to a day I love. Well, other than the few hours sleep after landing in Anchorage, but to be in the mountains again with a forest of green and yellow all around was a true delight! This was on a hike along Thunderbird Falls Trail in Chugach State Park not far driving out of Anchorage. This was a point along the trail with a small wooden outcropping to take in a view…and what a view it was! Morning sunlight with distant peaks of mountains! So that’s the story of this image and my poetry to describe the experience.
In capturing this image, I just had to find that opening through some nearby trees and set up my tripod and Nikon SLR camera to compose an image with the nearby ridgeline cutting across and the distant peaks of Western Chugach Mountains (a compass azimuth and peakbagger web site show them to be Gold Star Peak, East Twin Peak, Pepper Peak, Mount POW/MIA, Goat Rock, West Twin Peak). Metering took a little more involvement. Yes, I had a new camera remote Arsenal device, but the more detailed part of me wanted to use more control over exposure to get that right shutter speed with the aperture selected. I just had to find that “mean value” and adjust from there. I later worked with control points and color control points in Capture NX2 to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted. I then added a Foliage and Polarization CEP filter to give that little bit extra for the final image.

Buffalo is considered by many tribes as a symbol of abundance. Most people love gentle water buffaloes so close to them. I was so close to these lovely ones that I suddenly felt their powerful breath; which made me fall backwards right in the ricefield's muddy water, and the women burst into laughter. It took me about one hour to clean and dry my sturdy camera and lens.
May these smiling peasants live a better life they actually deserve!
It would be true to say this small waterfall was in the middle of nowhere. It was lovely to stop and find this waterfall away from the main road.
This one for me creates a sense of being alone in an area far away from any other people, a nearly abandoned, ghostly location. One could feel that as an uncomfortable, even scary feeling, but for me it is kind of peaceful, serene, and quiet.
CP 601 begins the climb out of the valley near Crowfoot as the tail-end remote is visible in the distance. January 2, 2021.
In the woods with Phill this week spending a bit of time with stencils and a bit of a lighter weight kit as i've been getting a bit of Plantar pain in the heel of my left foot. I think carrying a rucksack full of camera kit, lightpainting kit and tripod has started to take its toll on my body. A great chilled night out.

this was taken with my iPhone on a pretty remote drive not too far from where I live.
The air quality from the fires has improved with a on-shore wind blowing..
Had hope to see some deer on this day but only came across a few doe's and fawns, they did not give me much opportunity to photograph them.
Had not been out with the camera much this summer and I really did need this drive. Good for my sole.
This is a very intimate, remote and minimalist shot taken on September 7th 2012, at 6:58 a.m. from the summit of mount Rocciamelone (3.538 m), Italy.
The delicate misty early morning light makes the landscape almost surreal.
I love to photograph the mountains from a more elevated vantage point. First for the pleasure of being there, secondly because it's a way to vary a bit from the usual landscape compositions already seen several times.
The remote lands involved here are the mount Fraiteve (2.701 m), right in the middle of the image, then we have the whole mountain range of the Assietta (2.566 m), Cottian Alps.

SUN!!!!
thank you everyone who send sun! joy.jordan you said you would, but i didn't think it would be prompt.
tripod, umbrella, sun and me went out. no remote, so kept my finger on camera. took about 50 shots. thank canon for a high speed triple release. so i thought: why not make a little shadow-movie: vimeo.com/58219192
A shot taken near Nenthead last December. I have managed to miss nearly all of the snow this winter due to work or lockdown. This is one of the few images that I have managed to get with snow in.
