A selection of photos from a trip to Torridon in the North West Highlands of Scotland in early Spring 2023.
On my way down the mountain trail that I embarked on a couple of days earlier, I spotted some outstanding Caledonian pines. It was too dark to shoot them then so I thought a return would be in order.
This is the road that I live and walk on daily. My house is at the top of that far hill on the left side. This stretch of road is isolated but sometimes I meet up with another neighbour walking or someone from town who might drive out here, park their car and go for a walk or a run. Depending on what time of day it is the walk along here can be quite peaceful, other times the work commuters are in a rush and fly by going about 100km an hour so I know I am taking a risk sharing the road with them. Some drivers slow down and will give you space as they go around you but more and more often drivers are beginning to not care about anyone else on the road but themselves. Regardless, I will take my chances and continue to walk here as I would rather be out here than in town where there is a lot more to see and appreciate. There is a river at the bottom of that hill up ahead and if you are lucky you may catch a sighting of a pair of bald eagles sitting in their nest, a tree or flying overhead with a fish in its talons taking it back to its nest...true story.
Thanks for your visit. I hope your day went well.
Beautiful setting for a dwelling along Norway's coastline between Alesund and Narvik.

Stoically sitting apart from country life that is busily going on around it, this once heavily used barn sits in quietness as even the pigeons have moved on to more active sites.
Recently my wife and I visited some dear friends who had 4 grandchildren visiting, all of whom were under the age of eight. On our way home we talked about the excited noise that filled the house and reminded us of decades ago when our own home was this way. Silence becomes a constant companion for many of us as we age and live alone but it also is a nostalgic reminder that noise is connected with an active life.
Isolated object number three in this weeks theme. Woodland bench taken in Peacehaven East Sussex, UK in 2021.
Among the deep canyons and crevices of Arches National park these amazing trees (juniper?) keep a tenuous hold and seem to survive despite little rain, extreme temperatures and sparse soil conditions.

Hi everyone. This year I'm participating in a Flickr Photo Advent Calendar, organised by the wonderful Eva. Thirty one days in December, thirty one photographers and therefore, thirty one photographs. We have a group here on flickr, to ensure you guys can follow along.
This year has been very bittersweet. I've experienced one of the biggest (if not the biggest) photographic opportunity of my life (details about that will be released next year), I've finished university and have shot with some artists I've admired for years. But, behind the scenes I've been dealing with an incredible hardship in my personal life - something I am still coming to terms with and probably will be coming to terms with for the rest of my life. Please hug your loved ones this Christmas and be present. Be in the moment and treasure the ones you're surrounded by. I'll see you all next year and thank you all again for your amazing support. I'm really proud of what I've created this year and look forward to what's next.

I loved this old, ruined homestead and the wonderful fence surrounding it.
I wrote a blog post about this trip in February/March 2022. If you'd like to see some behinds the scene shots, video and read some stories about how I shot these images, take a look.
I love photographing on the Canadian Prairies and I've been travelling there to do so since 2013. If you'd like to see my other Prairie images, feel free to take a look at the album.
Couldn't think of an adequate story to go with this image. I'm drawn back to what it means to me looking at it. All I could think about was this song. It reminds me of my older brother I guess. Perhaps because I sat alone when photographing this scene, watching the darkness envelope these beautiful mountains and wished I wasn't. It brought back memories of many a late night spent with my older brother when we were teens. I took great comfort and trust in our conversations, his advice and opinion. We talked about everything under the sun and I remember many times sitting together and watching the stars rise high in the skies like a million tiny lanterns. It was my brother who also showed me this song before he left for boot camp. Since then we've both grown up and moved to different states but I think of those nights often when I'm up late.
Here's to
starry skies and memories of long nights... to loved ones who were willing to sit with us in both the cover of darkness and in the beauty of light.
Thank you as always for listening to my ramblings...

The farmhouse at the abandoned turkey farm on Poverty Flat, Idaho is surrounded by sagebrush now. When this land was settled much of the sagebrush was probably cleared, but it has taken over the land again. This is the view to the northeast and when you look at this and the other photos I have posted, you can get a good idea of how isolated this place is. The owner of this farm was probably Rodney Ream who raised 10,000 turkeys every year. That doesn't seem possible now.

The last of the three images I shot of this wonderful isolated barn. I know it's a variation on the other two, but I liked all three for different reasons. Which is your favourite? Isolated Barn I, Isolated Barn II or this one?
I wrote a blog post about my springtime Saskatchewan trip that has some behind-the-scenes pics and stories which you might enjoy.
I love photographing on the Canadian Prairies and I've been travelling there to do so since 2013. If you'd like to see my other Prairie images, feel free to take a look at the album.
I took this shot over 6 years ago and uploaded it (or one similar) at the time but was reminded of it this week and decided to have a go at reprocessing it.
It was taken with what was probably my least favourite of the Olympus cameras I have owned but I really like the image even though there are some things I would do differently if I could take it again today.
This is Athnamulloch Bothy at the far end of Loch Affric.

This photo comes thanks to our Ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay to Gibson's Landing. A gorgeous sunset over a small and isolated island.

Having missed the opportunity to photograph some of the dramatic hail/snow showers of recent days, I had to settle for this little outburst over Belfast!

The Peace Monument also known as the Friendship Monument or the Russia-Georgia Friendship Monument at the Jvari Pass in Georgia is a striking structure erected in 1983 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Georgian-Russian Treaty of Georgievsk 1783. This treaty marked the beginning of a closer political and military alliance between the Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti (in present-day Georgia) and the Russian Empire. Its purpose was to protect Georgia from invasions by hostile powers. The monument is built in the form of a semicircular stone structure and is located at a panoramic point along the Jvari Pass, a mountain pass on the Georgian Military Road. This area is located in the Caucasus Mountains and offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The monument consists of colorful mosaics depicting scenes from Georgian history and culture, as well as the theme of peace and unity. Although the monument was intended as a symbol of friendship between Georgia and Russia, it has attracted controversy in later years due to the complex historical and political relations between the two countries, particularly after Georgia's independence in 1991 and subsequent conflicts. Today, it is seen more as a tourist attraction than a political symbol. The monument is a popular stop for travelers exploring the Georgian Military Road due to its impressive views and historical significance.
A journey from Ananuri Fort through the Jvari Pass is one of the most impressive experiences you can have in Georgia. The contrast between the colorful autumn landscapes, the sudden snow-capped mountains, and the heavy mist is breathtaking and feels almost magical. The journey begins with the warm colors of autumn surrounding the historic Ananuri Fort. As you continue along the Georgian Military Road, nature slowly begins to change. The colorful forests gradually make way for bare mountain slopes, and the fresh mountain air becomes more noticeable. As you get closer to the Jvari Pass, the first signs of snow begin to appear. The peaks of the mountains seem sprinkled with sugar, and the temperature drops noticeably. As you ascend further, heavy mist starts to envelop the surroundings. The visibility becomes limited, and the world feels suddenly isolated and mysterious. Upon reaching the Jvari Pass, you arrive at the Peace Monument, where the mist hangs like a thin veil over the landscape. The colorful mosaics of the monument contrast beautifully with the white snow and the gray fog. The view from here, though partially obscured, is stunningly serene. The snow-capped peaks, frozen rivers, and icy air create an almost otherworldly atmosphere.
Het Peace Monument ook bekend als het Friendship Monument of het Russia-Georgia Friendship Monument bij de Jvari-pas in Georgië is een opvallend bouwwerk dat in 1983 werd opgericht om het 200-jarige jubileum van het Georgisch-Russische Verdrag van Georgievsk 1783 te herdenken. Dit verdrag markeerde het begin van een nauwere politieke en militaire alliantie tussen het Koninkrijk Kartli-Kachetië (in het huidige Georgië) en het Russische Rijk. Het doel was om Georgië te beschermen tegen invallen van vijandige mogendheden. Het monument is gebouwd in de vorm van een halfronde stenen structuur en bevindt zich op een panoramisch punt langs de Jvari-pas, een bergpas op de Georgische Militaire Weg. Dit gebied ligt in het Kaukasusgebergte en biedt spectaculaire uitzichten op de omliggende bergen en valleien. Het monument bestaat uit kleurrijke mozaïeken die scènes uit de Georgische geschiedenis en cultuur uitbeelden, evenals het thema van vrede en eenheid. Hoewel het monument bedoeld was als symbool van vriendschap tussen Georgië en Rusland, heeft het in latere jaren controverse opgeroepen vanwege de complexe historische en politieke relaties tussen de twee landen, met name na de onafhankelijkheid van Georgië in 1991 en de daaropvolgende conflicten. Tegenwoordig wordt het meer gezien als een toeristische trekpleister dan als een politiek symbool. Het monument is een populaire stop voor reizigers die de Georgische Militaire Weg verkennen vanwege het indrukwekkende uitzicht en de historische betekenis. Een reis van Ananuri Fort door de Jvari Pass is één van de meest indrukwekkende ervaringen die je in Georgië kunt hebben. Het contrast tussen de kleurrijke herfstlandschappen, de plotseling met sneeuw bedekte bergen en de zware mist is adembenemend en voelt bijna magisch.
Haven't been out in the snow as much as I'd have liked this year but thoroughly enjoyed it when I could.
We've had bumper levels of snow but it's been very short lived. I was lucky enough to get out on this such day. The snow doing a great job of simplifying a scene down to just the bare essentials.

My third attempt to shoot stars at Den Treek and I finally succeeded!
Just after sunset I arrived at the scene. The sky was clear and it was windstill, which was important for the kind of shot I wanted. I had set up a shot but then the full moon rose above the tree line. It gave me so much front light it was almost like shooting towards the sun.
Because of the moon my shots didn't turn out like I wanted and tried some other compositions to take advantage of the moon, but I wasn't satisfied.
I wanted to shoot away from the moon to make lemonade from the big lemon in the sky. So I followed a small path into the fields, tripped a couple of times in the darkness over dead pieces of wood and hidden ditches, but found this isolated tree. With the moon in the back I managed to shoot two 11 minute shots. The battery died otherwise I would have shot another one. The shots I have are combined into one and I think the result is pretty decent!
I like the simple composition and the arc of the stars. There were some little flowers in the grass in front of the tree you can barely see but I think it is a nice touch.
I would love to read your opinions!
