Late evening scene at a restaurant in a jungle lodge in India. I was at a jungle lodge in a national tiger reserve in Karnataka (India) on the weekend, primarily to try my luck at spotting wildlife. However, this restaurant there, lit up after the onset of night looked so beautiful on the backdrop of the late evening sky that I could not resist clicking this photograph.
Located in a very remote part of the Scottish Highlands, Bynack Lodge, an old and long abandoned hunting lodge, sits near the head of Bynack Burn. Beyond we can see the Cairngorm mountains rising to a dark and foreboding sky.

We stayed in the Frontier Lodge on our visit to the Blue Duck Station. This Lodge has three units and a communal kitchen and dining area. There is no internet, TV or cell service, but plenty of things to do while you are there.
Hatcher Pass Lodge located just below the Historic Independence Mine. It was a beautiful, but cold, clear starry night.
Capture made late at night outside the place we stayed while near Ricketts Glen. The lodge there is very homelike, and the owner is terrific. Just 10 minutes from the park, it is a nice slow pace part of America to take in.
Heading back to Little Kulala Lodge from our "game drive" and first sundowner, the air was still full of the dust that had been whipped up by the afternoon dust storms.
Driving back from Crieff we came across this interesting building sitting next to a field, the B-Listed Monzie Castle Mid Lodge. At first we thought it was a castle but it's a fortified bridge over the Shaggie Burn with a keep (the lodge) tucked into its NE corner (on the far left of the photo)

When Jimmy Simpson camped at Bow Lake in 1898, he vowed that one day he would "build a shack here". Twenty-five years later he began building the first log cabin on the site and had a permanent base for his outfitting tours. He called his operation Num-Ti-Jah, a Stoney Plain word for pine marten, a small animal similar to a sable.
In 1937, the Banff-Jasper highway was completed as far as Bow Lake. Jimmy, his wife Billie and their children Margaret, Mary and Jimmy jr. began expanding on the original dream of a "shack". With the earnings from Margaret and Mary's professional ice-skating tours, the building of Num-Ti-Jah Lodge began. In 1940, the Lodge had six guest rooms. By 1950, a beautiful log and stone hotel with 16 rooms stood on the shores of Bow Lake.

This was our first time staying in one the historic NP lodges.
We had a really nice two-night stay in this charming 1915 lodge. This lounge area is outside the dining room. HWW!
This building was constructed in 1927 and is the only one of the auto lodges built along the historic Columbia River Highway that still offers lodging. While it remains rustic, it has been extensively remodeled. The lodge is a popular wedding venue.
These are the remains of the hamlet of Lodge overlooking Scar House Reservoir, Upper Nidderdale. The reservoir can be seen through the trees on the right.
The view from the ruins of the Methodist Chapel over Scar House Reservoir is a delight to see though when the chapel was functioning the view would have been over a green and fertile valley
Lodge was a small farming hamlet complete with Methodist Chapel originally founded as a monastic grange farm. Abandoned in the 1920's its historic legacy is faint but enduring.
In 1900 Lodge was a thriving community of small upland farms. It probably started life in the 13th century when a grange farm was built here. The farm and land belonged to the Cistercian Monastery of Byland Abbey. When the Abbey was dissolved in 1538 the land was sold to wealthy local landowners who over the next 350 years improved the farms and land.
Bradford Corporation, responsible for building Scar House Reservoir owned Lodge from 1904. The last residents left in 1929
At one time the droveway through Lodge was the main road connecting Scotland to Eastern England
