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.

Another shot from the World Heritage Site Stevns Klint, this time using long exposure. It was a very beautiful spring day but a little windy, which obviously affects the sharpness of plants and trees that moved during the exposure. I don't think it ruins the shot in any way though.
4m 23s is how long this shot was exposed. I used 15 stop ND filters to achieve the long exposure time. I used a reference shot without filters to calculate the exposure time using Photopills.
Rachakonda Fort --
Once this remote hamlet was the capital of the Velma Kings during the 14th and 15th centuries. It is said the Velmas were cursed by a woman that they would never again rule. People believe that it is the result of the curse the Rachakonda Fort absolute ruin today! Yet, the masonry wall of the fort screams out its glory and story!!

Everytime I look at this photo I would like to take a seat to watch and feel the elements. Lanzarote 2022.
I was lying on a rickety, wooden jetty, in a remote place, looking down into the sea, and watching the marine algae swaying around.
During the boat trip from Bergen (Norway) to Stavanger, we passed this remote place, with a little light on it. Must be relaxing, but maybe also a bit lonesome living here. Enjoy your lazy Sunday!
Lachung is a town and hill station in northeast Sikkim, India. It is located in the North Sikkim district near the border with Tibet. Lachung is at an elevation of about 9,600 feet (2,900 m) and at the confluence of the Lachen and Lachung Rivers, both tributaries of the River Teesta. The word Lachung means "small pass". The town is approximately 125 kilometres (78 mi) from the capital Gangtok.
The Indian Army has a forward base in the town. Before the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1950, Lachung was a trading post between Sikkim and Tibet, after which it was closed down. The town's economy has been boosted by tourism in recent years as the region has been opened up by the Indian government. Tourists come from all over the world to visit the town between October and May, mostly on their way to the Yumthang Valley and the Lachung Monastery. Most of Lachung's inhabitants are of Lepcha and Tibetan descent. Languages spoken here are Nepali, Lepcha and Bhutia. During winter the town is usually covered in snow. Lachung is also the base camp for Rhododendron Valley Trek which starts from Yumthang Valley and ends at Lachen Valley.
Lachung has been described as the "most picturesque village of Sikkim" by British explorer Joseph Dalton Hooker in his definitive, The Himalayan Journal (1855). Skiing is conducted in Phuni near this town.

These falls, a few miles out from the town of Trinidad, are only accessible by horseback or on foot.
It's a wonderful place, and in addition to the horses carrying tourists visiting the location, locals bring their horses in the early morning for a wash or cool down.
I went in the early morning, was almost the only one there, or it would have been super busy with tourists swimming here (I left just as it got busy) or I would not have caught this wonderful sight.
New July 2021 edit
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!♥
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.
Two RAW photos developed with Darktable 4.8.0 and then combined with the Hugin Panorama editor (freeware).
The Tsibri mountain range, true to its name, resembles a series of protruding ribs (ribs རྩིབ་མ་ rtsib ma, tsibma).
During the 11th century, the remote crags of Tsibri were inhabited by Padampa Sangye, the Indian master who introduced the lineages of Chod and Zhije into Tibet.
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.
