During our trip to the Twin Ports and Iron Range, my friends and I decided we would attempt to go after Cliff's Northshore Mining operation. Operating in some very remote territory and with limited public access to the line, this railroad has run in relative obscurity compared to the other ore haulers in the region. Armed with some solid intel as to when they would be running, we went to the MN 2 overpass, and we waited. And waited. It rained, it was foggy, and the mosquitos were out for blood. After about an hour and 45 minutes, we were starting to wonder if we had missed it. Finally, a distant horn, and a few moments later, the 11 AM crude ore loads came slowly into view. Simultaneously, the rain tapered off, and the sun showed itself for the first time in a few hours. It all added up to a very nice view of NSM's recently purchased SD70ACes, leaning into the curve with dynamics whining as the heavy train worked downhill towards Silver Bay.
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.
Ever since I saw the tiny line of this road on my Travel Map of Mid Wales, I have wanted to explore this route. It is as remote as you can get in the UK outside of Scotland. It crosses the Cambrian Mountains and is truly beautiful in even the dreariest weather.
I went out Sunday night as the sky and light looked interesting. This location is very close to my house (about 0.5 miles away) and I had often thought this hut would make a good composition but never really saw the right conditions. Then I saw these clouds and decided now was the time to see if a shot could work. I had to go into a field to get to the right spot and had just set up my tripod and camera when the farmer came up to me. I know most of the farmers locally (some are friends and they let me wonder about) but had not seen this chap before. He was very interested in why I was in the field and what I was photographing. Once I had reassured him that I was just an eccentric photographer who likes taking pictures of clouds, he was fine with it!
Come take a look at the new Doiley Remote decor at the mainstore! Head to the left to snatch them up!

We spent an amazing four days exploring and camping in the Lake O’Hara region with my little family and some friends. The area is restricted via a lottery style booking system to minimise impact. Having spent two decades exploring over six continents it is rare to see such accessible pristine wilderness. If you ever get the chance to visit the area take it. We hiked as hard as we could including a couple of night hikes given the time restrictions in the area. This shot was taken looking across Mary Lake at 2043m (6704 ft) to Cathedral Mountain at 3,189m (10462 ft). Love Life, Love Photography
B&LE 904 led what began as a Minntac loader, but redirected to U-Tac. Sun stayed out for a few nice shots, showing off the RCO antennas as they headed north along the Missabe Sub. Seen here cutting Midway road off they exit off the scale at Adolph.
Running an SD40-2 (out of frame) via the remote on his chest, a BNSF engineer shuffles hoppers into the South Yard at Alliance, NE. Even with the downturn in coal traffic out of Wyoming, dozens of trains head in and out of the Powder River Basin mines via South Yard each day.
Guess what? I have a remote now! Woot woot!
My face is looking a little on the greasy side. Too bad I'm no Photoshop guru. I just know the basics. :(

An image after a three mile uphill climb from Bracorina on Loch Morar.
A landscape of rocky, hummocky hills, remote lochans and a lattice of rushing burns.
Here at Bealach nan Sac, 200 metres, 656 feet, above the former village of Wester Stoul views in all directions are stunning. This view is across the deep sea-loch called Loch Nevis towards untamed Knoydart.
Eastwards, at the head of the loch rises the distinctive pyramidal peak of Sgurr na Ciche, a landmark for miles around.
On the far left is a glimpse of Inverie, the most remote village on mainland Britain, only accessible by boat or on foot.
Smoke from heather-burning had masked most of my shots.
No loss.
Just an excuse to return next year.
This is the most remote Police Station in Tasmania. The staff here are responsible for the Tasmanian Central Highlands. Crime is not the issue up here (apart from the occasional stock wrangler). Most of the work has to do with keeping safety and search and rescue operations.
after 15 seconds of horror with treadmill i find CARTMAN on sofa with tv remote, now doesnt he look happier now. :P
The most remote area in the Australian outback LOL This is a FB image. I couldn't resist and had to share it with you all. I couldn't stop laughing.

Stopped by the remote controlled airfield for short time for the first time in quite a while. A friend of mine was flying a few of the 31 planes he owns. Only got photos of 2 of them while there, the first two red ones and the last six photos here. Fun watching how skillful these pilots are doing aerial maneuvers, takeoffs and landings. I always send any photos I take for them to post on their club site. Sorry for so many photos, just saving to my album. :-)
