A lone fisherman making a living in Ha Long Bay. The floating platforms are artificial closures created for fish farming.
When wealthy young Englishman Joseph Cyprian Fenn fled England and his family to this remote valley in far-flung South Island New Zealand in 1881 he purchased 600 acres of land and named his property Arcadia. Arcadia is a Greek word literally translating to paradise. Today the valley carries this name and the farm borders what is now Mount Aspiring National Park. Access to the Park is a gravel road through the farm a few miles further from this point.
Everytime I look at this photo I would like to take a seat to watch and feel the elements. Lanzarote 2022.
Bird Island, Seychelles.
Bird Island is a beautiful remote privately owned, coral sand island situated in the Indian Ocean just off the East African coast. The island has stunning, scenery beautiful beaches and a huge array of wildlife.
The Fairy (or white) Tern is a beautiful bird seen on all islands in Seychelles. Fairy Terns use trees for breeding, although they do not build a nest. Instead, the female lays a single egg on a branch, usually where there is a knot or fork to support the egg. She will sit on the egg to prevent it from falling from the branch. As soon as the egg hatches twenty one days later, the fluffy chick clings on to the branch with its large clawed feet. The adults feed the chicks small fish, which are carried crossways in the parent’s beak.
I have so many of these shots, I will probably bore you all to death with them.
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.

Taken on a rather overcast day of indifferent weather the remote nature of the Fisherfield Forest is shown well in this view from the summit of A' Mhaighdean.
Riva Valdobbia, Valsesia. Italy.
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.
Two RAW photos developed with Darktable 4.8.0 and then combined with the Hugin Panorama editor (freeware).
Another shot of Kita Alps taken several km north of the previous photo. Names of the peaks are commented on the photo.
The settlement in the photo is called Sonebara (曽根原), which is known to have been part of the Nishina Manor (仁科御厨) of Ise Shrine during the Heian Period (794- 1192). It is interesting that the imperial shrine had a manor in such a remote location from Mie prefecture. Nishina Shinmeiguu shrine (仁科神明宮) located nearby is built in the same style as Ise Shrine.
It is situated on a river terrace of the Takase-gawa river, which is typical of old settlements in Azumino Valley.
Conifer trees in the photo are mostly Sugi (Japanese cedar, Cryptomeria japonica). It has been planted near the residence for windbreak. It is endemic to Japan.
I am surprised to know from Wikipedia that it was introduced to Azores in the mid-19th century and now occupies 60% of its production forest and about 1/5 of the total land area of the archipelago.
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.
Jujuy - Argentina.

The variety and shapes of icebergs is endless and like snowflakes, no two are alike. I particularly like the older blue disintegrating icebergs with their fantastic shapes. This berg had beautiful blue caves, The mountains of Jameson Land are in the background. Hall Bredning, Scoresby Sund, East Greenland.

Spaces to isolate in Australia are freely available. Just remember to keep a social distance from the next person, if you can find one. And you may need to drive for hundreds of kilometres for water and food.
On the edge of the Pilbara region, in the remote outback of Western Australia.
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!
