This is one of the remotest and most isolated farms I can remember visiting. It's so close to the US border that my cell phone started picking up cell towers in North Dakota. The house's windows still look out onto the great emptiness of the border country.
Near (sort of) Gladmar, Saskatchewan

I know I am going against the grain here but I am somehow fascinated by this shot. It was inspired by the fabulous Mariann Nikkolaisen.
I like the dark and desolate mysticism in this landscape. It makes me want to strap on my backpack and hike up that hill and see what is inside this mist and beyond this hill.
Enjoy!

There was a time when my office was situated on the outskirts of the city borders. Just behind the building, there was a railway line to the main railway switching yard, and behind that, a shopping centre, It's nice to have a few choices of food nearby, but you'd have to hop over a few rows of train tracks - adventure for every day!

United States Coast Guard - Sector Key West
U.S.A. Naval Air Station - Key West Harbor
Key West, Florida - Florida Keys - 11/29/24
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - returning from border patrol]
The U.S. Coast Guard is recognized as a leader in the field of search
and rescue. To meet this responsibility, the Coast Guard maintains search and rescue facilities on the East, West and Gulf coasts,
as well as in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
U.S. Coast Guard patrols our southern border
throughout the 90 miles to Cuba and beyond.
*[On a personal note: my younger first-cousin Marty ALWAYS said when we were kids that when he grew up he wanted to work on
the water with the US Coast Guard. Well, he really lived that dream!
He worked for the US Coast Guard for the last 30+ years, enduring moves from Tampa Florida, to Alaska, to Hawaii and back to North Carolina. He will be retiring with many honors within the next year.
Great job, Marty! We're all very proud of you! - Ooh Rah! *salute*]

Calm evening with a nice sunset on the border of Norway and Sweden. Riksröse 259 (Ivarsten) was just few meters away.
A Purple-bordered Gold moth (Idaea muricata). Not the best photo as I wasn't able to get lower down to get the bottom half on the same plane of focus. Nevertheless it's a very difficult moth to photograph and if I keep waiting to get a better photo, I'll probably never post one of this nationally scarce moth.
Dipping into my photo archives in past weeks I found this shot in the Pornic file. Until I became used to it, the naming of places after important dates did seem a particularly French custom. This date resonates with me and brings to mind the concluding pages of my father's diaries.
In the early hours of 8th May 1945, my father was in a column of prisoners being marched away from the PoW camps. They had reached the German-Czech border, after a 'stopover' in a tin mine at Zinnwald. My dad saw the guards shine their torches down and feared they would have no option but to sleep on the wet ground. He suggested to his pals that they leave the column.... Which they did. Unnoticed.
There followed a time of living on their wits for food and shelter, plus a few adventures, until they met three American ex-PoWs, who had found a 15 cwt truck. My dad and his mates hitched a lift to Pilsen where they were officially registered as recovered allied PoWs by the Third US Army.
There followed a flight to Reims in France and thence onward to England where my dad finally arrived home to his wife at 4.30 p.m. in the little village of Claydon, Suffolk on 25th May 1945.
I was born the following year - nearly a Christmas baby. A new little family; a different life.
As my Flickr friends who have read the story know, the help of a fellow member of a local U3A Photography Group has been invaluable to me in publishing, in paperback and kindle format, my father's diary account of his WW2 service, captured at Tobruk, subsequently as a PoW in N. Africa, Italy and Germany:

My royalties are donated to the Red Cross, without whose food parcels sent to the PoW camps, my father felt that 'a lot of us wouldn't have come back'.
