A spring day exploring the back roads and scenic byways in Baker County Oregon.
Spent the day enjoying the arrival of Spring in Baker County Oregon. Wildflowers are starting to bloom and birds are starting to arrive for spring migration. Spotted a few new arrivals including white crowns yellow headed, redwing, and brewer’s blackbirds, and found ourselves under the watchful eye of several Great Horned Owls.

Century Farms and Small Town Charm Along The Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Baker County Oregon
Spent a beautiful early summer day exploring small towns and century farms along the Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Baker County. Baker County is home to more than two dozen Oregon Century Farms and Ranches and the Elkhorn Scenic Byway and back roads along the way, are a great way to explore this working landscape of the American West.
Small towns along the way like Haines and Baker City offer visitors a glimpse at small town Americana at its best.
This scenic byway circles through the Elkhorn mountains of Northeast Oregon beginning and ending in Baker City and passing through small towns like Sumpter, Granite, and Haines. The drive is incredibly scenic with wide open panoramic views across the Baker valley, high alpine forests, and following pristine rivers and creeks along the way. In the winter Anthony Lakes is home to Oregon's highest base elevation ski resort. In the summer the pristine alpine lake is a fishing and camping destination.

Dawn light over the snow covered peak of Mount Kazbek (5,054 m/16,581 ft), the seventh-highest summit in the Caucasus Mountains, with Gergeti Trinity Church in foreground, in Stepantsminda, Mtskheta-Mtianeti region of Georgia.
Mount Kazbegi is a dormant stratovolcano and the highest peak of Eastern Georgia. It is located on the border of Georgia and Russia.
The Gergeti Trinity Church is a Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church built in the 14th century. The separate belltower dates from the same period as the church itself. Its isolated location on top of a steep mountain surrounded by the vastness of nature has made it a symbol for Georgia.

The West Highland Way (Scottish Gaelic: Slighe na GÃ idhealtachd an Iar) is a linear long distance footpath in Scotland, with the official status of Long Distance Route. It is 154.5 km long, running from Milngavie north of Glasgow to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, with an element of hill walking in the route. It is managed by the West Highland Way Management Group (WHWMG) consisting of West Dunbartonshire Council, Stirling Council, Argyll & Bute Council, Highland Council and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority. About 80,000 people use the path every year, of whom over 15,000 walk the entire route.
The trail was approved for development in 1974 and was completed and opened on 6 October 1980 by Lord Mansfield so becoming the first officially designated long distance footpath in Scotland. In June 2010, the West Highland Way was co-designated as part of the International Appalachian Trail.
The path uses many ancient roads, including drovers' roads, military roads and old coaching roads, and is traditionally walked from south to north. As well as increasing the sense of adventure, taking the route in this direction keeps the sun from one's eyes.
The route is commonly walked in seven to eight days, although many fitter and more experienced walkers do it in five or six. The route can be covered in considerably less time than this, but a less hurried progress is the choice of the majority of walkers, allowing for appreciation of the countryside along the Way. Enjoyment of the natural surroundings of the walk is the primary motivating factor for many people following the route.

In April, I solo-hiked on and around the northern part of the famous West Highland Way, starting in Ardlui and finishing in Fort William five days later after a set of detours from the main trail.
The itinerary was as follows: Ardlui -> pass below Ben Lui -> Inveroran -> Kingshouse -> Luibelt ruin -> Fort William.
During the second day, being surprised by the morning snow, I descended from below Ben Lui to Tyndrum and hiked on the West Highland Way across Bridge of Orchy to Inveroran - there I camped in a really beautiful river setting (and enjoyed couple of cask ales in the nearby small hotel :-)).

On a visit to the yellow mountain (Huang Shan) in China, I was blown away by how little health and safety there was. Coming from England, where health&safety is a belittled national institution, the contrast was remarkable, and refreshingly liberating. Here I was, free as anything to sit on the edge of a 1860m cliff and peer down.
Needless to say, when I emailed this picture to the family back home it didn't allay their fears for my safety.
Mostly however, Huangshan has many barriers and it is not as bad as the infamous mountain Huashan, whereby people can pay to walk along boards nailed to the cliffside (see video www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsGC0lZ-5g8)
The beauty there was remarkable (see my set named China for more pictures) and I would highly recommend a visit..... if you don't mind climbing a few steps that is!

A quiet cobblestone alley in the heart of Trondheim, framed by the contrast of green wooden facades and red brick walls. Once bustling with trade and local life, these narrow backstreets now offer a glimpse into the city’s layered history and architectural heritage.
Fun fact:
Many of Trondheim’s old alleys, known locally as smug, were originally built for easy access between the busy waterfront and merchant houses. Some of them still follow the same paths laid out in the Middle Ages.

A beautiful Fall day exploring the Burnt River Canyon and watching wildlife between Durkee and Unity in Baker County Oregon .
The Burnt River Canyon near Durkee is always one of our favorite drives for taking in the majestic scenery of Eastern Oregon and watching wildlife along the way.

We’re on our way to Udabno, tucked between colorful hills and bathed in the warm light of the setting sun. Down in the valley, countless cows graze peacefully in the evening stillness. b>Udabno lies in eastern Georgia — a land of vast emptiness and rolling hills, near the border with Azerbaijan. It offers a striking contrast to the lush, mountainous regions found elsewhere in the country. Here, an expansive semi-desert landscape unfolds, with soft, undulating hills, dusty paths, and endless horizons. The earth glows in shades of yellow, red, and brown, especially when the sun hangs low in the sky, and the silence feels almost tangible. You’ll often have the entire landscape to yourself. The surroundings are perfect for quiet walks, picnics, or simply soaking in the silence. From time to time, shepherds pass by with their flocks, adding to the timeless, almost dreamlike atmosphere. Especially in the early morning or at sunset, when the light turns golden and the hills glow in warm tones, the area feels truly magical.
In the remote east of Georgia, near the border with Azerbaijan, lies the quiet village of Udabno, surrounded by sweeping semi-desert hills. The landscape here is vast and colorful, glowing in warm tones as the sun rises or sets. This tranquil setting offers a sense of solitude and timelessness, with shepherds occasionally passing by and cows grazing in the silence. It's an ideal place for peaceful walks and quiet reflection, where nature feels untouched and almost magical.
We zijn onderweg naar Udabno. verscholen tussen de kleurrijke heuvels en badend in het warme licht van de ondergaande zon. In het dal grazen talloze koeien, vredig in de avondstilte. Udabno ligt in het oosten van Georgië — een wereld van uitgestrekte leegte en golvende heuvels, vlak bij de grens met Azerbeidzjan. Het vormt een intrigerend contrast met de groene, bergachtige streken elders in het land. Hier ontvouwt zich een indrukwekkend halfwoestijnachtig landschap, met zachtglooiende heuvels, stoffige paden en eindeloze horizonten. De aarde kleurt in tinten geel, rood en bruin, vooral wanneer de zon laag aan de hemel staat, en de stilte is bijna tastbaar. Vaak heb je dit landschap helemaal voor jezelf. De omgeving leent zich perfect voor rustige wandelingen, een picknick, of simpelweg het genieten van de stilte. Zo nu en dan trekken herders voorbij met hun kuddes, wat bijdraagt aan de tijdloze, bijna dromerige sfeer. Vooral in de vroege ochtend of bij zonsondergang, wanneer het licht goudkleurig wordt en de heuvels oplichten in warme tinten, voelt deze plek werkelijk magisch aan.

The hike from Stepantsminda to Gergeti Trinity Church is one of the most beautiful and iconic hikes in Georgia. This route offers breathtaking views of the Caucasus, with the imposing Mount Kazbek (5,054 meters) as a spectacular backdrop. Stepantsminda is a small mountain village that serves as a base for adventurers and hikers. The village is located at an altitude of approximately 1,740 meters. From here the hike starts towards the Gergeti Tower, a viewpoint halfway along the route. From the tower you already have a beautiful view of the valley and Stepantsminda. The tower is part of a network of historical fortifications, typical for the mountainous region of Georgia. In the past, these towers were often owned by local clans and served to protect the community and the surrounding land. After the tower, the trail climbs further through a variety of grasslands and rocky terrain. The climb is fairly steep, but easily doable for hikers with average fitness. After about two hours of walking (approx. 3-4 km) you will reach the iconic Gergeti Trinity Church, located at an altitude of 2,170 meters. The church, built in the 14th century, is not only an architectural highlight but also an important spiritual and cultural symbol of Georgia. From here you have a panoramic view of the Caucasus and the impressive Kazbek Glacier. In clear weather it is an ideal place to enjoy the peace and overwhelming nature. Do you want to skip the climb? Then it is possible to drive to the church from Stepantsminda with an 4x4. In the summer months, horse riding tours to the top are also offered. The best time for this hike is from spring to early autumn (May – October), when temperatures are pleasant and nature is in full bloom. In winter the route can be snowy, which makes the hike more challenging but also adds extra beauty to the landscape. The walk to Gergeti Trinity Church is an unforgettable experience that you should not miss when visiting Georgia.
The photo shows Kanitha climbing a steep and rocky path towards the Gergeti Trinity Church in Georgia, with the majestic Mount Kazbek in the background. Along the path, meltwater flows in the form of a small waterfall, making the route extra challenging. The presence of other hikers further ahead shows that this is a popular but challenging route. Kanitha is warmly dressed and determined to make her way up. The rugged surroundings, steep terrain and clear blue sky emphasise the impressive natural beauty of the Caucasus. The combination of the mountainous landscape, the snow-capped peak of Mount Kazbek and the narrow, wet paths makes this hike a unique and adventurous experience.
De wandeling van Stepantsminda naar de Gergeti Trinity Church is een van de mooiste en meest iconische tochten in Georgië. Deze route biedt adembenemende uitzichten op de Kaukasus, met de imposante Mount Kazbek (5.054 meter) als spectaculair decor. Stepantsminda is een klein bergdorpje dat fungeert als uitvalsbasis voor avonturiers en wandelaars. Het dorp ligt op ongeveer 1.740 meter hoogte. Vanuit hier start de wandeling richting de Gergeti Tower, een uitkijkpunt halverwege de route. Vanaf de toren heb je al een prachtig uitzicht over het dal en Stepantsminda. De toren is onderdeel van een netwerk van historische verdedigingswerken, typerend voor de bergachtige regio van Georgië. Ooit waren deze torens vaak in handen van lokale clans en dienden ze ter bescherming van de gemeenschap en het omliggende land. Na de toren klimt het pad verder omhoog door een afwisseling van graslanden en rotsachtig terrein. De klim is redelijk steil, maar goed haalbaar voor wandelaars met een gemiddelde conditie. Na ongeveer twee uur wandelen (ca. 3-4 km) bereik je de iconische Gergeti Trinity Church, gelegen op 2.170 meter hoogte. De kerk, gebouwd in de 14e eeuw, is niet alleen een architectonisch hoogtepunt maar ook een belangrijk spiritueel en cultureel symbool van Georgië. Vanaf dit punt heb je een panoramisch uitzicht op de Kaukasus en de indrukwekkende Kazbek-gletsjer. Bij helder weer is het een ideale plek om te genieten van de rust en de overweldigende natuur. De foto toont Kanitha die een steil en rotsachtig pad beklimt richting de Gergeti Trinity Church in Georgië, met de majestueuze Mount Kazbek op de achtergrond. Langs het pad stroomt smeltwater in de vorm van een klein watervalletje, wat de route extra uitdagend maakt. De aanwezigheid van andere wandelaars verderop laat zien dat dit een populaire maar uitdagende route is. Kanitha is warm gekleed en is vastberaden een weg omhoog te banen. De ruige omgeving, het steile terrein en de helderblauwe lucht benadrukken de indrukwekkende natuurlijke schoonheid van de Kaukasus. De combinatie van het berglandschap, de besneeuwde piek van Mount Kazbek en de smalle, natte paden maakt deze wandeling tot een unieke en avontuurlijke ervaring. De wandeling naar de Gergeti Trinity Church is een onvergetelijke ervaring die je niet mag missen bij een bezoek aan Georgië.

Exploring the back roads and scenic byways as winter turns to spring in Baker County Oregon.
Spent the day watching the seasons change in Eastern Oregon, with big dramatic skies and snowcapped mountain peaks. Spring is starting to arrive on the valley floor but winter is still holding on up in the Elkhorns. Enjoyed a short hike around Phillip’s Lake where the lake is still thawing.

In the heart of Skopje, the vibrant capital of North Macedonia, lies the centuries-old Old Bazaar – Stara Čaršija. This is one of the largest and oldest bazaars in the Balkans, where Ottoman mosques, old caravanserais, and small shops line the narrow cobblestone streets. Walking here feels like stepping back in time. While exploring, we needed some Macedonian cash. At first, I was a bit skeptical about exchanging money at a small office right in the bazaar: Döviz Bürosu – Exchange Office. It looked very modest, with a tiny counter and a handwritten sign. Behind the glass sat a boy of about twelve with a calculator. His English was surprisingly good – probably better than his father’s, who was working in the back. The exchange rate turned out to be excellent – much better than the banks – and there was no commission. We decided to exchange a small amount, and everything was spot on. The next day, we came back to change a larger amount. Thanks to the good rate, our cocktails that evening suddenly became much cheaper. An unexpected but charming experience that perfectly matched the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the bazaar.
While exploring Skopje’s Old Bazaar, we exchanged money at a tiny Döviz Bürosu that looked a bit sketchy at first. The young boy behind the counter spoke great English, the rate was excellent with no commission, and everything went smoothly – so well that we came back the next day to change more.
In het hart van Skopje, de bruisende hoofdstad van Noord-Macedonië, ligt de eeuwenoude Oude Bazaar – Stara Čaršija. Dit is een van de grootste en oudste bazaars van de Balkan, waar Ottomaanse moskeeën, oude karavanserais en kleine winkeltjes elkaar afwisselen. Smalle steegjes en geplaveide straatjes leiden je langs geurige kruidenwinkels, tapijten, koperwerk en kleurrijke marktkramen. Het voelt alsof de tijd hier een tandje trager gaat. Toen wij hier rondliepen, hadden we Macedonisch geld nodig. Ik was in het begin wat sceptisch om geld te wisselen bij een klein kantoortje midden op de bazaar: Döviz Bürosu – Exchange Office. Het zag er eenvoudig uit, met een piepklein loket en een handgeschreven bordje. Achter het glas zat een jongen van een jaar of twaalf met een rekenmachine. Zijn Engels was verrassend goed, beter nog dan dat van zijn vader die achterin het kantoortje bezig was. De koers bleek echter uitstekend – beter dan bij de banken – en er werd geen commissie gerekend. We besloten een klein bedrag te wisselen, en alles klopte perfect. De volgende dag zijn we teruggegaan om een groter bedrag te wisselen. Dankzij de goede koers werden de cocktails die avond ineens een stuk goedkoper. Een onverwachte maar charmante ervaring die helemaal past bij de warme en gastvrije sfeer van de bazaar.
...I walk home.
On an almost unnoticeable path through the forest.
Nine times out of ten, the only living creatures I meet here are: the fox (of course), squirrels, woodpeckers and two (not together) rather unfriendly badgers.
Previously, I shared a photo of Ayaz Kala, one of the defensive hilltop forts of ancient Khorezm. In contrast, this image shows Toprak Kala, a much larger and more complex site that once served as the capital of the Khorezmian Kingdom between the 1st and 3rd centuries CE.
Located about 35 km northeast of Khiva, in the Karakalpakstan region of Uzbekistan, Toprak Kala was not built for defense but for governance, ceremony, and daily life. The site includes the remains of a palace, temples, and residential buildings, all made from mudbrick. It was an organized urban center with a clear layout, wall paintings, and columned halls.
Unlike Ayaz Kala's remote, elevated position, Toprak Kala sits on open desert ground, closer to the once irrigated fertile lands. Today, the ruins are quiet and mostly untouched, offering a unique window into what life might have looked like in this once-powerful desert capital.
