Quark Expeditions and other ship operators provide support to researchers with transportation to remote locations. This location featured a camera to monitor the local bird colony. More times than not, polar bears make toys of the equipment. The equipment may make it through 3 seasons. As researchers visit each area, they'll swap out the memory disks.

Commentary.
The sun catches the rocky headlands guarding the entrance to the awesome sea-loch, Loch Nevis.
I was trundling my way across the Sound of Sleat on my journey from the mainland at Mallaig, to Armadale
on the Sleat Peninsula, part of the wondrous Isle of Skye.
Nevis twists north, then south and finally east, where it narrows to under a quarter of a mile wide, from a maximum of four miles, at its mouth.
It is not absurd to suggest that this terrain represents one of the wildest, most remote and isolated in Caledonia and the United Kingdom.
To the left (north) is Knoydart, the “Rough Bounds.”
To the right (south) is North Morar.
Both are only accessible by foot or boat.
There are no metalled roads within an area exceeding a hundred square miles.
They are truly rugged, remote, untamed and aloof to the influence of humanity.
Starkly untouched, rocky, bare but spartanly pristine, unspoiled, natural wildernesses.
Their raw, unsophisticated beauty rakes at your psyche, your soul, your spirit.
But in this “other world” you find your real self because refinement and urbanity has been stripped away in the face of precipitous rock and Sgurr na Ciche, 1,020 metres.
This pyramidal peak, just right of centre is a sentinel,
an icon, a landmark for 20-50 miles in all directions, in this land of raw, unbridled beauty.
Even in this shot it lies beyond the far eastern end of Loch Nevis, twenty miles away in this image.
Should you wish to be “far from the madding crowd,” come here, to the mountains, to the eternal thrones of the Gods.
This is God’s Garden. It is a rocky one. Walk with him.
See your real self in the mountain pool, not the work-place window.

High on the sea lashed cliffs a little south of Portpatrick, perch the atmospheric ruins of Dunsky Castle. This rocky promontory has been a fortified stronghold way back into history, maybe as far back as the Iron Age.
According to the Book of Leinster, the former name for Portpatrick was Port Rig (Portree), meaning the Port of the King and a strong candidate for the location of Rerigonium, the lost royal town of the Novantae named by Ptolemy in his 2nd century map of Britain.
During the medieval period, a castle has stood on this spot since at least the 14th century, built by the Adairs of Kinhilt. This castle was attacked and burnt in 1489 by McCulloch of Myrton in retaliation for the murder of Dionysius of Hamilton by William Adair of Dunskey.
The current tower house was rebuilt by the Adairs in 1510, which they inhabited until 1620, when it was sold to Hugh Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery. He extended the castle before it passed to the Blair family in 1648, but by the end of the 17th Century it had been abandoned and was already a ruin.
In keeping with the castle’s sinister appearance, tales of dark deeds carried out within its walls abound. The abbot of Soulseat Abbey was imprisoned and tortured in the castle to force him to sign away the abbey lands. The castle is said to also be the home of a brownie known as the Hairy Man.
A story, said to date from the 14th century tells of how the castle was occupied by the cruel Walter de Curry, who took offence to an outspoken Irish piper that he had taken prisoner and forced into service as a minstrel and jester. The piper was thrown into the castle dungeons, where he was left to starve, but found his way into a secret passageway that lead to a cave on the shore. The cliffs here are steep and high, preventing his escape and he died a slow and lingering death. His ghost is said to still march back and forth along the passage from where the skirl of his pipes can be heard above the crashing of the waves.
Another ghost, that of a nurse maid who accidentally dropped a baby from one of the windows onto the rocks below, is said to also haunt this place. Consumed by guilt, she followed her charge and threw herself from the cliffs.
These crumbling cliff top ruins are certainly romantic and if you are going to encounter a spectre or a brownie, this would be as good a place as any.
A remote cottage sits on the shores of Loch Lomond in the shadow of Ben Lomond.
The "cottage" is, in fact, the Loch Lomond Sailing Club building :)
Sustenpass/Switzerland
Taken near Cafe Sustenbruggli in Chli Sustli at the eastside of the Sustenpass.
A cable layer, the Nkt Victoria seven miles from the north east coast at South Shields en route Sunderland to Blyth.
It's wild, remote and beautiful; it's Wainuiomata Beach, and it's on the south coast of New Zealand's North Island.
Strong, cold Southerly winds sweep straight on to the beach straight from Antarctica, and as a result, the vegetation on the hillside is very stunted...!
Thanks so much for the very kind and encouraging comments beneath this photo...! Your support is very greatly appreciated.

I bought a remote! :) I took some self-portraits to test it out and I think I'm happy with it!
I feel like venting so let's begin.
Top 3 Pet Peeves:
1) LIES. Honesty is the number one quality I look for in all people. If you're dishonest, expect me to keep you at bay. If you lie to me, I guarantee it will be a struggle for me to get over and things might never be the same. Take that as a warning. Lies are stupid; just don't do it.
2) Being judged before people get to know me. I don't always make the best first impressions. I can be shy, awkward, and even moody if you catch me at a bad time. As a general rule, I tend to be most outgoing around outgoing people. I can honestly say that I don't dislike anyone. I'll never intentionally do you wrong and I'll try to be the best person I can be.
3) Finding out through a third party that someone was criticizing me behind my back. If you have something to say about me, good or bad, say it to me directly. I'll respect you more that way. It's also less hurtful.
So I realized this doesn't suit my picture at all... haha! I'm happy, just kind of frustrated.

Once this small hospital somewhere in Italy was a shelter for children that were suffering from lung diseases. The remote location in the mountains and the numerous surrounding forests are providing healthy air which was necessary to treat tuberculosis and other diseases. In the 1930s this facility was opened.
The property with lavishly laid out garden offered enough space for a great number of children. This was a facility of the church, so especially nuns were nursing the sick.

Sheep grazing along the Pangong Lake Road on the way to Pangong Lake, Ladakh.
Ladakh ("land of high passes") is a region in the Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir that currently extends from the Kunlun mountain range to the main Great Himalayas to the south, inhabited by people of Indo-Aryan and Tibetan descent. It is one of the most sparsely populated regions in Jammu and Kashmir and its culture and history are closely related to that of Tibet. Ladakh is renowned for its remote mountain beauty and culture.
Historically, the region included the Baltistan (Baltiyul) valleys (now mostly in Pakistan), the entire upper Indus Valley, the remote Zanskar, Lahaul and Spiti to the south, much of Ngari including the Rudok region and Guge in the east, Aksai Chin in the northeast (extending to the Kun Lun Mountains), and the Nubra Valley to the north over Khardong La in the Ladakh Range. Contemporary Ladakh borders Tibet to the east, the Lahaul and Spiti regions to the south, the Vale of Kashmir, Jammu and Baltiyul regions to the west, and the southwest corner of Xinjiang across the Karakoram Pass in the far north.
A remote col on the Nepal-Tibet border, with Nepal is on the right and Tibet on the left. The glacier on the left is the same one as reached by crossing the Ghang La, east of this col.
This col (ca. 5570 m) is occasionally crossed by local people without animals. It is very steep, particularly on the Tibetan side. The local name is apparently something like "Lumba Kolong".

Kalalau Beach - Kauai
Kalalau Beach is the most remote beach on Kauai and requires a strenuous but incredibly scenic 11 mile hike - the Kalalau Trail. On this trip we didn't have time to do the full hike but completed the first four miles of the stunning coastal hike. On my next visit I'll be sure to bring my camping gear!
Hi everyone! :)
This is my newest MOC, a Credo Econell 12 bus. My first creation at this scale, which is a model of a real vehicle! Hope you like it!
The bus is a completely remote controlled 1:24 model. (length: 64 studs, width: 14 studs, height: 17 studs, approx 2050 elements) It's possible to drive it, to steer it, and to open and close the doors separately.
I made of course a video!
You can find the technical detailes here and a short text about Credo buses below:
Nowadays Credo buses are well-known in Hungary. They are produced by the Kravtex-Kühne group. At the beginning, the group used a Czech license, but the Econell 12 (presented at the end of 2011) is completely Hungarian development. I often travel by Credo buses between the place where I live and the university. Unfortunately, they are usually older types. But I have already travelled by the Econell 12, its very comfortable.
If you search on Google for Credo buses, you may notice, that the wheels look very small. Its the speciality of Kravtex-Kühne group, some of their buses are produced with smaller wheels, so they are lighter and they dont need so much gas. Big buses with small wheels looked a little bit strange, but I think the Econell 12 looks great with the big black mudguards/fenders.
I think the new front and rear panels with the black frames around the lights are fantastic, too.

Thanks for visiting! :)
