The abandoned and derelict Red House sits at the start of Glen Geldie a good hours cycle ride from any sort of civilisation.
This cycle trip was supposed to be the start of a climb up two Munro's but it took us a lot longer to get there than anticipated and given the early nightfall this time of year, we abandoned the trip and just 'enjoyed' the cycling.

Image created from multiple exposures blended together in Photoshop CS6 layers using the "Lighten" blend mode. All exposures were taken with a single Einstein strobe with a 22" beauty dish attached to a boom arm. Send me a FlickrMail message, and I'll be more than happy to send you some information on mostly how I photograph this style and what equipment I use.
The old fishing vessel 'MV Dayspring' on the shores of Loch Torridon at Lower Diabaig.
Diabaig is a remote coastal fishing and crofting township in Wester Ross, in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. Diabaig lies on the north shore of the sea loch of Loch Diabaig, an inlet off the north side of Loch Torridon.
Everytime I look at this photo I would like to take a seat to watch and feel the elements. Lanzarote 2022.
Kinuseo Falls is in remote Monkman Park, in northeastern British Columbia. The park is named for Alex Monkman, who spearheaded a project to build a highway in the lowest elevation mountain pass through the Canadian Rockies.
The initial rough cut of a road through the pass was nearly completed by the late 1930's but was postponed when WWII broke out. The trail was complete except for one challenging 28 km section and in fact, one symbolic shipment of grain was transported from Alberta through British Columbia using this route.
After the war, the British Columbia government actually prohibited any further work on the route and gave citizens of Fort St John and Dawson Creek the right to vote on whether the Monkman Pass or the Pine Pass would be the route through the Rockies. The Pine Pass route would result in a highway through their towns, so of course that pass was favored. The Monkman Pass became a footnote of historical interest.
Today, you can get to Monkman Park and Kinuseo Falls via a (poorly) maintained Murray River forestry road. Upstream of Kinuseo Falls, you can hike the Monkman Pass Memorial Trail, a hiking route for advanced back country enthusiasts.
This view of Kinuseo Falls is reached by a short and easy trail through the forest with the trailhead near the top of the falls. The trail has not been maintained for a couple of years though and is lightly travelled, so you will be dealing with a lot of new growth and deadfall.
By the way, Kinuseo Falls was a location featured in the recent movie Seventh Son.

Taken from an abandoned CN railway bridge over the Petawawa River in Algonquin Park, ON. Boots and fly spray required!
I wanted to say a few words about this capture.
First of all, modeling with me is my very good friend Enanito Verde. Unfortunately Enanito wasn't able to continue on this platform after Flickr enforced their drastic policies this past spring and we lost his wonderful work here. However, you can still see his creations at Enanito Verde on Slushe and Enanito Verde on Twitter. Thank you so much Enanito. You're awesome babes!♥
Secondly, I have to confess that this one's not totally my brainchild. I actually ran across the artwork that inspired this one over a year ago. And when I wanted to do something comical for the Holst & Holst Gallery I thought of it, but I could not find it anywhere. I knew I'd saved it but I could not find it. I was able to remember enough about it to create my own version of it with a little twist that I thought was cute and funny.
So as I was about to post it this morning, I decided to try to find the original image one more time, and I found it! That said, I'm posting a link to a gyazo I made of the original. I do not know the artist's work really. I'm sure someone here may. I like the image though. Cheers!♥

Remember the days where the city was bustling with people and activity? These days it’s rather more isolated and remote… In some sense, this is the new remote ways of working.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breitenstein_(Schwäbische_Alb)
Der Breitenstein ist ein 811,2 m ü. NHN[1] hohes Felsplateau in Baden-Württemberg. Es liegt nahe dem Dorf Ochsenwang an der Kreisstraße 1220 auf der Gemarkung der Gemeinde Bissingen an der Teck. Der Felsvorsprung besteht aus Weißjuragestein und liegt am Nordrand der Schwäbischen Alb direkt am Albtrauf.
Von dem ca. 200 Meter breiten Plateau des Breitensteins aus bietet sich ein von Vegetation nicht behinderter weiter Blick auf das ca. 400 Meter tiefer gelegene, nördlich der Schwäbischen Alb gelegene Gebiet – im Nordwesten bis nach Stuttgart – weshalb er ein beliebter Ausflugsort ist und auf nahezu allen Karten der Gegend verzeichnet ist.
Auf dem Plateau Breitenstein befindet sich eine Bronzetafel, in der die Lage und Entfernung der von dort sichtbaren Orte verzeichnet ist.
Der Breitenstein ist sowohl als geschütztes Geotop und unter dem Namen Felspartie des Breitenstein auch als flächenhaftes Naturdenkmal ausgewiesen.

The Breitenstein is a rocky plateau 811.2 m above sea level[1] in Baden-Württemberg. It is located near the village of Ochsenwang on the district road 1220 in the district of Bissingen an der Teck. The rocky outcrop is made of Weißjura stone and lies on the northern edge of the Swabian Alb directly on the Alb ridge.
From the approx. 200-metre-wide plateau of the Breitenstein, there is a wide view, unobstructed by vegetation, of the area approx. 400 metres below, to the north of the Swabian Alb - as far as Stuttgart in the northwest - which is why it is a popular place for excursions and is marked on almost all maps of the area.
There is a bronze plaque on the Breitenstein plateau that lists the location and distance of the places visible from there.
The Breitenstein is designated both as a protected geotope and, under the name Felspartie des Breitenstein, also as an areal natural monument.
Remote cabins / vacation homes are nestled in the trees, along the banks of the scenic Pitt River.
Most are accessible only by boat.

The bumpy and dusty end of Forest Road (FR) 163 in southern Wyoming leads you to a concrete slab where you can launch your boat into the Flaming Gorge Reservoir (further left past the photo). In the distance you can see the mountains in northern Utah below the dreamy, early morning clouds. The tributary to the right leads you to Briggs Reservoir back near the highway. There wasn't a soul in sight as we enjoyed the remote beauty here.

So remote that I can't remember exactly where this is! I think that it is probably in Lunedale on the B6276 between Brough and Middleton-in-Teesdale, but I could easily be wrong!
It was certainly wild countryside even on a relatively nice day of sunshine and showers. It must be so bleak in the depths of winter.
Having finally reached the remote and prized summit of Lurg Mhor I am able to take in its untouched surroundings.
This view looks towards its neighbour Bidean a Choire Sheasgaich.
At the Roaches, actually my camera was in an even more exposed place then I was - good job the remote gives me more time than the 10 second timer! I've only actually posted this so it'll let me update my cover photo
Memories hiking the northern part in the fell mountains. Summer light still present here, taken in August.
A nine hour drive from Vancouver and you arrive in Prince George, another hour and half you arrive at Anzac BC, another 45 minute drive East through the Rockies along an out of service forest road you arrive at the siding at Table on the former electrified BCRail Tumbler Ridge branch line. After the wires were torn down and the BCR was acquired by CN, not many if any at all have ventured into the Northern Rockies to see operations on the Tumbler subdivision.
After getting a heads up from a CN employee that we befriended along the way that a loaded coal train was departing the Quintette mine in Tumbler Ridge, we set up by the catenary poles that once held up the wires for electric trains at Table well in advance, as trains are sparse and we were hoping to see something on this line.
Not too long after arriving, we could hear the faint echo of the train exiting the 5.6 mile long Table Tunnel over 15 miles away. Just minutes later we saw the headlights in the distance and were soon being powdered in coal dust as the 100+ car train flew by at 35mph. Once the train cleared we would make the long trek back to Prince George, happy to shoot a train on one of the most undershot crossings of the Rocky Mountains by any railroad.
I am still getting over my cold but I finally busted out the Nikon remote tonight. What a joy to use!
A wet grizzly cub rears up on its hind legs to look for danger. It was feeding with its mother in a sedge grass meadow in the springtime in the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary, BC.

The early morning view from the Knoydart Corbett Sgùrr nan Eugallt. This is looking west from the summit along the ridge and it certainly made the effort worthile. From left to right you can see the three Knoydart Munros - Luinne Bheinn, Meall Buidhe (just about) and the quite wonderful Ladhar Bheinn standing proud. Between the viewpoint and the Munros are the smaller hills Meall nan Eun and An Caisteal. Moving to the centre is Loch Hourn and Barrisdale Bay, with the Skye Cuillin visible on the horizon. On the right is the long ridge of Druim Fada, and behind that there are the twin Corbetts Beinn na h'Eaglaise and Beinn Nan Caorach and finally the prominant Munro Beinn Sgritheall behind them. This is a wonderfully rough and remote area and it probably won't be a surprise to hear that I had this quite wonderful view all to myself. Days like this are why I climb mountains.
