Remote Sahara

A few feathery flakes are scattered widely through the air, and hover downward with uncertain flight, now almost alighting on the earth, now whirled again aloft into remote regions of the atmosphere.

I took this photo while visiting Monique in Alberta...it only snowed for a very short time and didn't stay...but so pretty.
A lone fisherman making a living in Ha Long Bay. The floating platforms are artificial closures created for fish farming.
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.

A remote place in Iceland, the remote waterfalls, its water and canyon, and the endless remote clouds.
Everytime I look at this photo I would like to take a seat to watch and feel the elements. Lanzarote 2022.
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!

My much used remote to trigger the camera shutter from a distance.

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.

The remote mountain peak named Punta Carestia, 2.979m (9,774ft), on the watershed between the two regions of Piemonte and Valle D’Aosta; the long ridges of the mountain and the pastures of the Settlement called Alpe Maccagno are ccovered by the first snow of the year.

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.
We've had the opportunity to visit a deserted area near the Hollywood sign. Near it was Bronson Caves, which was unfortunately closed off. There was this unique pattern of rocks that someone left behind, and it fit the atmosphere fairly well!
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.
This is Will sitting on a bench on a snowy 'beach' out at the far end of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. Despite the fact we visited in June there was still a lot of snow about.
Last morning on the Spanish River and we finally had a predictable 103, the tail end remote perfectly sunlit against the rugged backdrop at the east end of Pogamasing. It was nice shooting some of the brand new Tier 4s over the trip, but we felt fortunate to get a clean CWM rebuild to cap it all off.
With nothing else for freights coming, we'd spend the rest of the morning packing up camp and hauling our gear down to the canoe launching point where we'd flag down VIA's 186 to take us back to Cartier. An incredible area with endless photo opportunities if you don't mind bears, blackflies and dehydrated foods for an extended period.

Icebergs, icefields, red sedementary rocks and a small glacier in Rodefjord, Scoresby Sund, East Greenland. The red sedimentary rock adds colour to this barren land and the beautiful clear light and low humidity makes everything pop.
